Boatbookings is excited to announce and celebrate the winners of the 2025 USVI Yacht show!
Each year, members from the Boatbookings team travel to the USVI to attend the Yacht Show. During the week, we explore the layout of each boat, sample the menu, try out the water toys, and get to know the crew personally. This helps us match you with the boat and team that meets all your needs. At the end of the week, there is a competition for participating yachts to showcase their best qualities. There are many categories, including crew, food, and drink. With the end of the 2025 show upon us, it is our pleasure to announce the winners and standout boats from the week.
