One of DAWO’s defining features is her exceptional use of natural light throughout the interior. The main saloon is flanked by floor-to-ceiling glass, creating a light-filled, open atmosphere with unimpeded views of the sun setting over the Mijet National Park.

Boatbookings shares insights into diving in the British Virgin Islands.

Diving in the British Virgin Islands guarantees wonder and insight into the exceptional underwater world this archipelago has to offer. Your week onboard a luxury crewed catamaran, crewed power catamaran, or crewed motor yacht places you directly in the heart of some of the top dive sites in the Caribbean. With many of our private yachts offering onboard diving, you can explore vibrant reefs alongside sea turtles or discover how nature preserved a piece of history, turning it into a complex ecosystem of playful fish and brightly colored corals.

As one of the main diving attractions in the BVI, The Wreck of the Rhone lies just 24 meters below the surface and is a great beginner’s dive. Here you will explore a Royal Mail Ship that sank over a century ago and became a hub for marine life. Witness the way eels meander through the wreck or how corals have grown over the ship’s structure, preserving it for decades.

If you have booked a yacht that does not include gear or tanks, you can simply reserve a rendezvous dive in which a dive master will meet you at your desired site with everything you need to slip below the surface. This is a fantastic way to hit every point on your diving bucket list, including The Indians and Shark Alley!

Boatbookings is thrilled to share our 20 years of experience to help curate your perfect 7-day BVI itinerary. Through first-hand experience, we have discovered the BVI’s top restaurants, most exclusive anchorages, and top dive sites. Our charter experts look forward to working with you to dream up your next charter in the BVI. Enquire today!
