Why a Catamaran is the Best Way to Explore the BVI
Chartering a luxury crewed catamaran in the BVI is more than just a fun cruising experience; it’s about reveling in the space, comfort, and thrill of adventure. Twin hulls provide stability and hold private cabins with en-suites, leaving plenty of room on deck to enjoy the warmth of the sun on your face and cool breeze in your hair. With low fuel consumption, you will have the speed and efficiency to hit every island in the region, leaving more time to thoroughly explore each one. Wake up to the white sand beaches of Anegada before anchoring at the Bubbly Pool on Jost Van Dyke later that same day.
A passionate and dedicated crew elevates every moment on board. With a local's perspective of the region, your certified captain will guide you to quiet bays on Norman Island, ideal for paddle boards and kayaks. While you explore some of the BVI's top attractions, your expert chef will prepare a personalized menu tailored to include all your favorite dishes. Step back on board to fresh lobster brushed with warm butter before heading to your cabin, where soft linen sheets and towel animals invite you to sink into the soft beds.

Day 2: Peter Island & Cooper Island
Wake up in The Bight Bay where the only sound is the gentle lapping of water against your yacht. Today you’ll sail to Peter Island and Cooper Island, stopping along the way to enjoy stunning beaches, rewarding hikes, and mouthwatering food.
Deadman’s Bay, Peter Island: As one of the most popular anchorages, Deadman’s Bay has earned its spot in pirate history. A well-protected crescent beach welcomes guests to the ideal spot for a lunch picnic, before heading to Cooper Island for the evening.
White Bay, Peter Island: For a quieter, yet equally beautiful experience, head to White Bay. Here, water sports are a must, as you will have plenty of room and very few crowds. Bring out the skis and take advantage of the calm waters and state-of-the-art tender.
Cooper Island Beach Club: Pristine beaches and a delectable menu welcome you to Cooper Island. Here, limited mooring space prevents overcrowding, meaning you will practically have the beach all to yourself for the best view of the sunset before anchoring for the evening. Up for an adventure? Try the local rum tasting with the largest rum collection in the BVI. A pirate’s life, indeed!
Hiking: Stretch your legs and explore the flora and fauna of Peter Island on one of the BVI's many hiking trails. We promise the panoramic views of the region are worth it!
Day 3: Cooper Island & Virgin Gorda
Day 3 of your luxury charter promises a beautiful sail from Cooper Island to Virgin Gorda. Before you anchor in Leverick Bay for the evening, dive into history, hike around salt flats, and discover nature’s very own playground.
Wreck of the Rhone, Salt Island: The RMS Rhone was a Royal Mail ship that has been preserved for nearly 200 years. It now sits as one of the Caribbean’s top dive sites. As it is only 10 feet below the surface, snorkelers and divers alike can thoroughly explore the wreck.
The Baths, Virgin Gorda: This natural 40-foot rock formation is Virgin Gorda’s invitation to drift through its shallow pools. Massive granite boulders create natural caves and grottoes that call to all explorers. Grab a snorkel and mask and swim through the crystal-clear waters.
Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda: Anchoring here for the evening will give you some incredible dining options. Should you choose to go ashore, we recommend Bitter End Yacht Club, where a little café offers a delectable breakfast and a cozy spot on the beach to enjoy it.
Day 4: Anegada
As the only coral atoll in the BVI, Anegada offers some of the best beaches with the whitest sand to sink your toes into. Enjoy an optional three-hour sail from Virgin Gorda while you strech out on the sundeck with your favorite drink in hand. Upon arrival, tender ashore and see famous filming locations, savor fresh lobster, and take a leisurely stroll along the shores.
Cow Wreck Bay: A neat spot for fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, as it was one of the filming locations. The water is so clear you can see ripples in the sand, and it makes for a spectacular swimming spot. Take a moment to enjoy the warm sun and refreshing waters over lunch.
Bumber Well Ponds: Birdwatches can’t miss the opportunity to see flamingos at Bumber Well Ponds. Its unique terrain gives insight to past geological events, allowing you to see all that Anegada has to offer.
Lobster Trap: The island is most famous for its fresh, locally caught lobster, grilled that very same day and served with melted butter. The Boatbookings team has found that this restaurant has the best Anegada lobster along with breathtaking views of the sunset. If you are interested in an evening at Lobster trap, tell your charter expert and they will book a reservation for you.
The Wonky Dog: For a lively night out, there is not better place than The Wonky Dog. Fresh seafood, live entertainment, and a fun staff will make for memorable evenings on the beach!

Day 5: Little Jost Van Dyke
Greet the day early and sail from Anegada to Little Jost Van Dyke. The flybridge makes a fantastic spot for aerial views of the surrounding waters and any dolphins that are passing by. Today, enjoy an unhurried pace with deserted islands, jacuzzi experiences, and quiet coves.
Sandy Cay: An impressive first stop and worth waking up early to beat the crowds. Your captain will drop anchor at just the right time for you to have the entire island to yourselves. Spend the day playing beach games on the deserted island before relaxing on the sun-warmed sand for a lunch picnic.
Bubbly Pool: Just a short hike away lies the Bubbly Pool, a natural formation created from large volcanic rocks and the incoming tide. Water pours in through a thin space between boulders, creating a natural, jacuzzi-like experience.
Manchioneel Bay: Just west of Green Cay lies Manchioneel Bay, your anchorage for the evening. The serene water provides ideal conditions for watersports. Try your hand at wakeboarding or simply float on a paddleboard while perfecting your tan.
Day 6: Jost Van Dyke
A short sail to Jost Van Dyke will place you at Great Harbour where two classic BVI experiences await you. Sit at a beach bar with the famous painkiller cocktail, grab a bite to eat, head to the next place, and repeat!
Soggy Dollar: Start your day with a swim from your boat to Soggy Dollar, and try a painkiller at the bar it was created in. Their beachfront tables offer a warm spot to dry off and enjoy some appetizers before getting back in the water.
Foxy’s Tamarind Bar: A festive atmosphere and fun-loving bartenders make Foxy’s a must-see stop. If you arrive on the night of a full moon, join their full moon party where good music and strong drinks make an evening to remember.
Great Harbour: You will anchor here for the evening, giving you plenty of time to explore the harbor on a kayak or relax on a floating mat while the sun is still up. End your day with a gourmet meal, al fresco style to take in the views of Jost Van Dyke.

Day 7: Norman Island
Make your way back to Norman Island, where you will spend your last day and night exploring the island in a whole new way. Set your own pace as you float in a quiet bay, capture spectacular family photos, and make the most of the yacht’s water toys at your disposal.
The Caves, Privateers Bay: Your last overnight anchorage and a great stop offering calm waters that are ideal for swimming. The beautiful backdrop creates the perfect opportunity to capture family photos with an underwater camera that many of our top yachts provide. As evening falls, have one more spectacular dinner on the aft deck and toast to your unforgettable week.
Water Toys: From E-foiling and skiing to snorkeling and wakeboarding, you can explore the crystal-clear waters in several ways. Whether you seek a relaxing float or a thrilling adventure, there is something for everyone.
Secluded Coves: For a quieter experience, we suggest Benures Bay, one of the many hidden gems in the BVI, located just off Pebble Beach. The calm water and limited crowds create the perfect conditions for snorkeling or exploring with water toys.
Day 8: Road Town, Tortola
Make the most of your final moments in paradise and cruise around Norman Island this morning. Enjoy an indulgent breakfast on the aft deck before diving off the bow for one last swim. You will then sail across the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Road Town, Tortola for disembarkation at midday. If your crew made the experience especially memorable, be sure to exchange contact information so that when you return to the BVI, you can charter with the team you know and love.
A note about the extraordinary cuisine on a Crewed BVI Yacht charter
There is no better end to a full day of island hopping than stepping back on board to a gourmet meal prepared especially for you by your private chef. Working hand in hand with the charter experts at Boatbookings, you will fill out a preference sheet that specifies your dietary needs and expectations. Your chef will then personalize the menu to your exact tastes, so you can have your favorite meals every night.
Going ashore for dinner is a great way to elevate your evening. Some of the best dining experiences in the BVI include the Cooper Island Beach Club, Marina Cay, and Leverick Bay. Simply tell us where you want to go, and Boatbookings will take care of all the details. Your crew will go above and beyond to create evenings that mark life’s biggest moments. If you are celebrating a special occasion, be sure to let us know, and we will plan a night to toast to you. Cheers your latest milestone at Saba Rock with the best rum punch and tapas in the islands, while tarpons splash nearby in a feeding frenzy.

Pick up and Drop off in the USVI
Sometimes it is easier to fly into or out of the US Virgin Islands. In this case, you can take a ferry between St. Thomas and Tortola or talk to one of our charter experts about itineraries that start and end in the USVI. Hotels near the marinas make the transition seamless, offering a night of respite before further travel.
