We like the British Virgin Islands, it’s true. But have you ever considered the US Virgin Islands instead? While BVI may be home to the bareboat, luxury yacht charters from St Thomas are perfect for those who are looking to indulge on their Caribbean vacation.
In just a little over 3 weeks Ben and Allison from the Boatbookings team will be heading to the Antigua Charter Yacht Show, from December 5-11, which showcases the world’s finest charter yachts. With 98 yachts already registered this will be a very rewarding and exciting and important show for us. We look forward to reporting back to everyone after viewing all of these magnificent yachts and meeting the crews.
Would you think that you’d go to the Caribbean and eat pizza? No? Well think again!
