Chartering a BVI luxury crewed motor yacht through the British Virgin Islands is an addictive experience. Step onto a private, floating resort that moves with your mood and leave your worries at the marina as you embark on a 7-day adventure filled with attentive service, leisurely floats, and thrilling adventures with water toys. Often described as the sailing capital of the world, the BVI lives up to the name with calm, protected waters, short cruising distances, and over 60 islands and cays, meaning you can wake up somewhere new every day with the whole day to play in the water.
The speed, space, and amenities of a luxury crewed motor yacht make it ideal for chartering in the BVI. With a powerful motor, you won't be dependent on wind. If you want to change plans at the last second and stay at Norman Island instead of going to Virgin Gorda, simply ask your captain, and they will make it happen. With ample spaces on a motor yacht to stretch out and soak up the Caribbean sun, you can find a new favorite spot every day. Lounge on the foredeck sunbeds as you cruise to Anegada during the day, then sink into the wrap-around seating on the flybridge for sundowners as the stars begin to make their appearance. With a dedicated onboard crew, you will not have to lift a finger all week unless it's to accept another drink. With fully customizable menus and itineraries, your captain, chef, and deckhands will wrap you in complete luxury on your birthday yachting celebration or family reunion for Christmas or New Year's.
For over twenty years, the Boatbookings Team has created bespoke itineraries through the British Virgin Islands. With first-hand cruising experience, we have located the finest restaurants in the BVI, tested the top water toys, and explored the BVI's hidden gems that only the locals know about. When you work with us, we will hold your hand every step of the way, ensuring all you have to do is enjoy the week with friends and family.

Map of Your 7-Day BVI Crewed Motor Yacht Itinerary
Day 1: Norman Island
After a morning spent exploring one of the stunning beaches on Tortola, your crew will welcome you onto your luxury motor yacht at noon with a chilled glass of Champagne and canapés. Following a brief orientation and tour of your home for the next week, your captain will raise anchor and set a course for Norman Island, while you settle into the foredeck sunpads and watch as the Sir Francis Drake Channel unfolds before you.
The Indians: Your first stop is The Indians, where large granite formations shoot skyward from the water. Here, vibrant corals and colorful schools create the perfect first snorkel opportunity. Dive off the bow and drift between the rocks before enjoying lunch and sailing onward to Norman Island.
Willy T's: As one of the top bars in the BVI, Will T's is a floating ship that also operates as a bar and grill. As the sun sets, the atmosphere becomes lively with music and dancing. If you feel up for it, take a shot and walk the plank, ending in the turquoise waters below for a nighttime swim.
The Bight Bay: As the sun sets, head to The Bight Bay and anchor for the evening. Your chef will prepare a dinner menu focused on your favorite foods and infused with Caribbean-inspired flavors. With a personalized menu and the sunset in the background, it promises to be a perfect first night on board.
Day 2: Peter Island and Cooper Island
Wake slowly and step out of your cabins to the view of The Bight Bay, which offers a tranquil setting for your first morning on charter. As your crew approaches with an espresso service and breakfast, chat with your group about your most anticipated activities of the day. Peter Island and Cooper Island await, with stops along the way at deserted beaches, hikes, and indulgent food and drinks.
Deadman's Bay, Peter Island: With a tantalizing pirate history, Deadman's Bay welcomes you to an unhurried day. Stop at the secluded crescent beach for a beach picnic before wading out into the ocean for an afternoon swim.
White Bay, Peter Island: If you seek a quieter experience, head to White Bay, where the calm waters encourage an afternoon full of water sports. From water skis to wakeboarding, the afternoon is yours to create.
Cooper Island Beach Club: With limited mooring space, Cooper Island offers a secluded experience, away from large crowds. Step onto a beach where the only footprints in the sand are yours. You can also attend a local rum tasting where you can sample from the largest collection in the BVI.
Hiking: Peter Island offers an abundance of flora and fauna to explore. If you feel like a bit of a workout, step ashore and walk along one of the BVI's hiking trails. The views will be well worth the trek.
Day 3: Virgin Gorda
When you step out of your cabins this morning, head to the sundeck to view the panoramic views as your captain cruises from Cooper Island to Virgin Gorda. You will anchor in Leverick Bay in the evening after a day of diving, hiking, and playing in nature's best playground.
Wreck of the Rhone, Salt Island: About 200 years ago, a Royal Mail Ship, the RMS Rhone, sank just ten feet below the surface. Now, it remains preserved as an artificial reef that invites guests to explore its wreck. As one of the BVI's top dive sites, you will find a variety of fish and coral to explore, all before lunch.
The Baths, Virgin Gorda: The Baths stand at Virgin Gorda as a forty-foot formation that creates natural sea caves to swim through and around. These massive boulders call to all swimmers and snorkelers who desire to drift in the azure waters of the BVI.
Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda: You will anchor in Leverick Bay for the evening and enjoy dinner ashore. At the Bitter End Yacht Club, there is a little cafe that offers private beach access and a warm breakfast and coffee in the morning. If you feel up for it, wake early the next morning and watch the sunrise from the beach.
Day 4: Anegada
Differing from the rest of the islands in the region, Anegada sits at the north end of the BVI as the only coral atoll. Today, you can optionally take the three-hour cruise from Virgin Gorda to Anegada, watching the water from the bow for any signs of dolphins along the way. Tender ashore for beach bar hopping, fresh lobster, and powder-soft sands.
Cow Wreck Bay: As one of the filming spots for the Pirates of the Caribbean series, this spot is a must-see for diehard fans. Take a moment here to swim through the crystal clear waters before stretching out on the sand with your favorite novel.
Bumber Well Ponds: If you enjoy bird watching, head to Bumber Well Ponds to glimpse the pink flamingos. This unique experience offers insights into Anegada's geological terrain that differs greatly from the rest of the region's islands.
Lobster Trap: End your day at Lobster Trap for a taste of Anegada's signature dish, freshly caught and grilled lobster. With your toes in the sand and the sun setting over the horizon, allow yourself to revel in the atmosphere and indulge in the incredible food. If you are interested, your crew or charter expert can help arrange reservations.
The Wonky Dog: Few spots rival The Wonky Dog for a lively night out. Enjoy fresh seafood, live music, and a spirited team who will keep the atmosphere effortlessly upbeat all night.
Day 5: Little Jost Van Dyke
Start the day early with a cruise from Anegada to Jost Van Dyke. The flybridge offers an ideal vantage point for sweeping views of the surrounding sea and the chance to spot passing dolphins. Today unfolds at a relaxed pace, with secluded islands, natural jacuzzi moments, and peaceful coves.
Sandy Spit: As you come up to Sandy Spit, the striking island will reveal why waking early was so worth it. Your captain will arrive at the perfect time so you can enjoy the island in complete privacy. Spend the morning playing beach games before unwinding on the sands with a picnic lunch.
Bubbly Pool: Take a brief hike to the Bubbly Pool, a natural wonder formed by volcanic rock and the rhythm of the tide. Water rushes through a narrow gap between the boulders, creating a soothing, jacuzzi-like effect.
Manchioneel Bay: Located on the west end of Green Cay, Manchioneel Bay will be your evening anchorage. Its calm, sheltered waters are perfect for water sports like kayaking or kite surfing. For incredible views of the sunset, plan your kayak adventure around sunset and watch the sky turn golden from the water.
Day 6: Jost Van Dyke
A brief cruise brings you to Jost Van Dyke, arriving at Great Harbour, where two signature BVI stops set the tone for the day. Settle into a beachfront bar with a classic painkiller, enjoy a bite, move along to the next, and do it all over again.
Soggy Dollar: Begin with a swim ashore from your yacht to the Soggy Dollar Bar, home of the original painkiller cocktail. Grab a seat at one of their beachfront tables to dry off, sip your cocktail, and enjoy a few light bites before wading back out to sea.
Foxy's Tamarind Bar: Lively energy and charismatic bartenders make Foxy's an essential stop. If your visit coincides with a full moon, their legendary party offers great music and plenty of potent drinks for an unforgettable night.
Great Harbour: Your anchorage for the evening will be Great Harbour, where you can spend the afternoon exploring by Subwing or unwind on a floating mat. As night falls, enjoy a gourmet dinner served al fresco with views across Jost Van Dyke.
Day 7: Norman Island
Return to Norman Island for your final day and evening, discovering the island from a fresh perspective. Move at your own rhythm as you drift in a tranquil bay, capture beautiful family moments, and take full advantage of the yacht's selection of water toys.
The Caves, Privateers Bay: Your final overnight anchorage, offering calm, inviting waters, perfect for a swim. The striking surroundings provide an ideal setting for underwater family photos. As night approaches, enjoy one last exceptional meal on the aft deck and raise a toast to your unforgettable week in the BVI.
Water Toys: There are countless ways to experience the crystal-clear waters of Norman Island. Speed across the water on a pair of skis, or simply float on a tube. Whether you prefer a laid-back float or something thrilling to end your day, there is something for everyone.
Secluded Coves: For a more peaceful setting, consider Benures Bay, a lesser-known spot in the BVI, just off Pebble Beach. Its calm waters and minimal crowds make it ideal for snorkeling or enjoying time with the yacht's water toys.
Day 8: Tortola
You will wake up to the rugged coastline of Norman Island, and as you step out of your cabins, make your way to the foredeck for breakfast and espresso. With the whole morning open to you, you can jump in the water for one last ride on an E-Foil or SeaBob. Eventually, your captain will begin the journey back to Tortola for disembarkation at noon. This is a great opportunity to soak up the last of those Caribbean rays on the sundeck of your motor yacht. Upon arrival, your crew will assist you off the boat and arrange a transfer to the airport or your hotel. From there, you can extend your stay at one of the boutique resorts on Tortola or continue onward to your next destination. After a week of total relaxation, you will leave feeling rejuvenated and ready to begin planning your next charter vacation!
