British Virgin Islands yacht charters are fully crewed private boat rentals departing from Road Town on Tortola, the sailing capital of the Caribbean, giving your group exclusive access to a cluster of about 60 islands and cays linked by the calm, sheltered waters of the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
From the marinas of Road Town and Nanny Cay a yacht reaches the giant granite boulders and grottoes of The Baths at Virgin Gorda, the caves and snorkeling of Norman Island, and the white sand beaches and beach bars of Jost Van Dyke, all within short, scenic hops. The fleet ranges from 30 foot powerboats to sailing catamarans and motor yachts of 100 feet and more, hosting 2 to 25 guests, with durations from 4 hour half day cruises to full day voyages and longer. Every charter includes a licensed captain, professional crew, fuel, and snorkel gear, and the warm water sits around 79 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit through the year. Guests arrive through Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on Beef Island. We recommend booking early, as the finest yachts and prime dates reserve well in advance.

Snorkeling in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) offers an unforgettable way to explore the vibrant underwater world. The BVI is renowned for its pristine coral reefs, diverse marine life, and crystal-clear waters. Here are some top snorkeling spots to visit:
The Baths
On Virgin Gorda, The Baths feature stunning boulder formations and natural pools, perfect for snorkeling among colorful tropical fish.
The Indians
Off Norman Island, The Indians boast jagged rocks and shallow waters rich with vibrant reef fish and sea fans.
The Wreck of the RMS Rhone
This famous shipwreck, now an artificial reef, lies in three sections on a sandy base, offering excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities.
The Caves at Norman Island
Explore underwater caves near The Bight, home to schools of yellowtails, blue tangs, and sergeant majors. A flashlight enhances your experience as you navigate through shimmering coral.
Monkey Point
Located on Guana Island, Monkey Point provides clear waters and the chance to swim with yellowtail snappers, blue-striped grunts, and sea turtles.
Buttonwood Bay
This bay offers a shallow coral reef and varying depths, making it a peaceful spot to observe small marine life.
Alice’s Backside
On Ginger Island, Alice’s Backside features large sand patches with brain and mushroom coral heads, ideal for a quieter snorkeling experience.
Snorkeling here is easy and enjoyable for all ages. If you don’t have your own gear, we provide everything you need for a memorable underwater adventure in the BVI.
Marina Cay is a charming, small island located just half a mile off the coast of Scrub Island in the British Virgin Islands. Despite its size, Marina Cay boasts a delightful restaurant and bar, Pusser's Marina Cay, which is a fantastic spot to visit for a refreshing drink. The intimate setting and beautiful surroundings make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy the serene atmosphere of the BVI.
Nanny Cay is quite unique, located just off the southern shore of Tortola. Although it’s technically a separate cay, it’s connected to the main island by a barely noticeable bridge, making it seem like a seamless part of Tortola. This distinctive feature, along with its focus on catering to boaters, sets Nanny Cay apart as a one-of-a-kind "resort island" dedicated almost exclusively to the boating community.
The British Virgin Islands are widely regarded as the sailing capital of the Caribbean, and for good reason. The 60-plus islands and cays lie close enough together to make inter-island hopping effortless, the anchorages are well-developed, and the trade winds blow reliably from the east at 15 to 20 knots for most of the year.
Day Yacht Charters operates crewed luxury yachts departing from Road Town, Tortola, the BVI's capital and main port. From Road Town, the classic BVI circuit begins with a sail south to Norman Island, the island said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The caves at The Bight are extraordinary for snorkeling, and the floating bar at Willy T is a beloved local landmark.
Virgin Gorda's Baths are a bucket-list stop on any BVI charter. Giant granite boulders form natural grottos and pools right at the waterline, and the light filtering through them is genuinely magical. The island also has one of the BVI's best anchorages at North Sound, tucked inside a near-complete ring of land and reef.
Jost Van Dyke, a tiny island of fewer than 300 residents, punches far above its weight for nightlife and beach bars. Foxy's Tamarind Bar at Great Harbour is a Caribbean institution, and White Bay's crystal-clear water is as beautiful as any beach in the region.
The best sailing months in the BVI run November through May. Hurricane season June through November requires flexible scheduling. Multi-day crewed charters are available for guests who want to cover the full circuit at a relaxed pace. Call +1 (305) 515-4735 to build your BVI itinerary.
British Virgin Islands charters depart from Road Town on Tortola, reached through Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on adjacent Beef Island, with connections through San Juan, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean hubs, or by ferry from St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. From the airport the Road Town and Nanny Cay marinas are a short drive. We can help coordinate your arrival, ferries, and transfers. Call +1 (305) 515-4735 to plan your charter.
Most British Virgin Islands charters depart from Road Town, the capital of Tortola, and from Nanny Cay Marina, the heart of the territory's world famous sailing scene, with full marine services. From these sheltered bases a yacht enters the calm Sir Francis Drake Channel and reaches Virgin Gorda, Norman Island, and Jost Van Dyke within short hops. The protected channel and dozens of nearby islands make the BVI one of the easiest and most rewarding places to charter in the world. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735.
A British Virgin Islands charter island hops across about 60 islands and cays in calm, sheltered water. Highlights include The Baths at Virgin Gorda, where giant granite boulders form sea pools and grottoes, the caves and snorkeling at Norman Island, the white sand of Jost Van Dyke with its famous beach bars, and quiet anchorages at Cooper Island and The Indians. Sea turtles, rays, and tropical fish fill the clear water. Your captain designs the route around the islands, snorkeling spots, and beaches you most want to experience.
The British Virgin Islands are a superb year round charter destination, with steady trade winds, calm sheltered water, and warm temperatures around 79 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.

We offer flexible packages, some include open bar and some allow you to bring your own beverages. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to tailor your British Virgin Islands charter to your group.
Group sizes range from 2 to 25 guests depending on the vessel. Smaller motor yachts and sport boats from 30 to 50 feet are ideal for couples and intimate groups, mid size yachts and catamarans from 50 to 70 feet suit groups of 12 to 18 for day charters and celebrations, and larger crewed yachts handle up to 25 guests for group events. The sweet spot for most British Virgin Islands charters is 6 to 12 guests. Tell us your group size and we will recommend the ideal yacht. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735.
Yes. The British Virgin Islands offer some of the Caribbean's best snorkeling. The Baths at Virgin Gorda are a must, where giant boulders create sheltered pools and grottoes, and Norman Island features caves and reefs alive with tropical fish. The Indians, a cluster of rock pinnacles, and the reefs around Cooper Island and Anegada are also superb. The warm, clear water sits around 79 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit and suits every level. Snorkel gear is provided on board. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735 to plan a snorkeling charter.
We offer a full range of durations. A 4 hour half day cruise visits a nearby island and a snorkeling spot, ideal when time is limited. A full day charter of 6 to 8 hours reaches The Baths, Norman Island, or Jost Van Dyke and combines snorkeling, beaches, and a beach bar stop at a relaxed pace, with lunch on board. Multi day voyages are popular for exploring the wider island chain. Sunset cruises are a lovely evening option. We tailor the duration to your group. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735.
Yes. All charters include water and soft drinks as standard, and we offer flexible catering packages.

Tell us your preferences when you book and we will arrange the right food and beverage plan for your British Virgin Islands charter. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735.
Most international visitors, including travelers from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe, need a valid passport to enter the British Virgin Islands, and many nationalities can visit visa free for tourism. The US dollar is the official currency, which is convenient for many travelers, and English is the official language. We recommend a passport valid for the length of your stay, and our team can advise on current entry requirements when you book. Contact us at +1 (305) 515-4735.
Booking is simple. Contact us by phone at +1 (305) 515-4735, by email at info@DayYachtCharters.com, or through the inquiry form on our website, and tell us your dates, group size, and what you would like to do. We will recommend suitable yachts and itineraries and provide a tailored quote. A deposit secures your date and vessel, with the balance due on the charter day.
