Captaining your own boat gives you the ultimate freedom to plan your sailing vacation exactly the way you want it - and to change your mind three times a day!
The waters of the BVI are well protected, easy to navigate and the 60 odd islands and cays present fantastic scenery with an amazing selection of beautiful beaches, well protected anchorages and cozy bars and restaurants.
We know all the local bareboat companies and have selected the best, which are not necessarily the most expensive. Do you want a sail boat or a power yacht? Do you want a monohull or a catamaran? The choice is yours! Let us help you find the boat that suits your needs.
You can use your boat as a base from which to explore an endless array of water sports: body boarding, surfing, diving, kite boarding, wind surfing, you name it, we have it and you can rent the equipment here.
If you want to leave the responsibility of sailing and anchoring to a professional captain, we will be happy to help finding one for you. We can also arrange sailing lessons so that you can be on your own next year!
Would you like to join a local regatta? Let us arrange it for you. They are mostly "fun regattas" where you will be penalized for NOT enjoying yourself. Come join the fun - at one of our informal yacht club races. If you are into more serious racing, come join us at one of the best sailing events in the Caribbean - the BVI Spring Regatta.
Enjoy your Caribbean experience. We have the professionalism and knowledge to match you with the ultimate boat and thus ensure you of a sailing adventure you will always remember.

If you want to learn more about this amazing place and do a bit of planning in advance, I can highly recommend getting a copy of the Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands.
It is necessary to buy insurance when you charter a boat. It usually consists of a non-refundable daily fee of $20 - 40/day and a deposit of $400-2000, which will be returned to you when you bring back the boat and it�s equipment in good condition. When you take over the boat it will be full of water and diesel, but you might need to top off. Water costs about $0.20/gallon. Diesel is about $4.00/gallon.
Cruising Tax is $2.00 /person/day from November 1st to April 30th and 0.75 /person/day from May 1 to October 31st. National Parks Trust Mooring Fees are $25/ boat with up to 4 persons and $5.00 /person beyond that. The fee is $3.00 per day /boat for more than 7 days.
Virgin Islands Search and Rescue, VISAR is a volunteer organization, which operates on donations. You are kindly requested to donate $1.00 per person towards this very worthwhile service. These are voluntary donations and may be deducted if you wish.
If you are arriving late afternoon, we can often arrange a "sleep aboard" for about 50% of the daily fee. This option is only available the night before the charter and has to be arranged in advance. Boarding time is usually after 5 pm. We will also be happy to arrange a taxi to pick you up and bring you to the boat.
If you are not too sure about your sailing capabilities, we will be happy to help you arrange for a captain, but remember that he needs a cabin too if he is staying over night. Prices are from $ 135/day + meals. Some captains are also sailing instructors and can certify you at different levels at $ 165/day. Chefs are also available for $ 125/day and of cause they need a cabin, too.
COME ENJOY THE SUN AND SHARE THE FUN!!!!
