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.
