Take a Trip to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, For Your Next Luxury Yacht Charter!

Tortola, the largest and most populated island in the BVI archipelago, is the capital of the British Virgin Islands. It is a mountainous, volcanic island, 12 miles long and 3 miles wide. Tortola was discovered by Christopher Columbus, who gave the island its name; Land of the Turtle Dove, as there were so many of these birds flying around the island when Columbus first came ashore. Tortola has world renowned sailing conditions, and is the main focus for many people who choose to visit the Caribbean for yachting. With sandy white beaches and aqua blue seas, Tortola is an island of natural beauty.

If you want to charter in Tortola, we suggest FLOW, a fantastic build from Fountaine Pajot. Accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, she charters from $18850 a week.
FLOW is very popular with the Boatbookings team, given she is in an immaculate condition, with all-around high standards. The space and layout is well designed, so whether you want to sunbathe on deck or indulge in a spot of al fresco dining, there is plenty of room for you and your guests. The crew are fantastic, they will welcome you on board and make sure you are well looked after!

Green Chartering: Offset Your Carbon Emissions

One of the hesitations that many have about chartering a luxury yacht is the carbon emissions that their yacht will create. The option to “green charter”, gives you the chance to offset your carbon emissions, purchasing carbon credits at the same time as booking your charter.

If this is something you’d be interested in doing, please do mention it to a broker when you make an enquiry. You can work out how much carbon credits would cost for your particular yacht using our great “Carbon Credit Calculator”.

Alternatively, for those that are still hesitant, we highly recommend chartering a catamaran, or monohull sailboat, as they use much less fuel than a motorboat. One of our recommendations of a catamaran for charter is the stunning BARBUDA BELLE, a Lagoon 620, that came first in our BVI Yacht Show Report.

A Few More Toys for Your Luxury Yacht Experience!

One of the main things that interest many of us are the water toys available on board your luxury yacht. We know how important water toys are for some people, and they get more and more exciting and innovative as time goes on.

The Inflatable Climbing wall. This exciting design from Green Yachts means you can scale the side of your yacht! Not only is it fun for all ages, the climbing wall also provides some great exercise and challenges – with three different routes of varying difficulty, designed by professional rock climbers, you can put your climbing skills to the test. Furthermore, you don’t even need to fuss around with harnesses and other things that may put you off on land. With this wall, there’s nothing to worry about – if you fall, you just splash in to the sea!

For those of you looking for something slightly more relaxing, how about a Hot Tub Boat? A revolutionary design, which indulges in luxury. A merge between the classic wooden boat and the radical addition of the jacuzzi, this idea is amazing! If there’s no room on your yacht for a jacuzzi, why not have one on your tender instead?

If the water toys are a big deal for you on your charter, we have the yacht for you. O’MEGA, a Mitsubishi design, is one of the most luxurious yachts in the world. Accommodating up to 30 guests in 15 cabins, you can cruise the French Riviera in style. She has plenty to keep you entertained including water toys, spacious decks for sunbathing and a jacuzzi. Indulge in fine dining and a few cocktails in the evening, before retreating to beautifully furnished cabins to spend the night. Whether you want to be active or just chill out,
O’MEGA will meet your needs.
