Best BVI charter trip yet - Captain Khadin
Just finished a 5 day charter on Winged Arrow II with BVi yacht charters, as Khadin as our captain. We’ve done this trip many times and this was one of the best yet! Khadin was an amazing captain. He was patient, kind, proactively taking care of things to make our trip comfortable - and was willing to take us to some off the beaten path spots that we’ve never seen before! I would HIGHLY recommend Khadin as your next skipper!
Amazing trip thanks to BVI YACHT CHARTERS
Amazing trip this year with BVI Yacht charters. From booking to receiving the final invoice was smooth and effortless on our part (the ladies in the office did all the hard work thank you Kelly and Zevy). All the back-and-forth questions were quickly answered. Having chartered with other companies this round with BVI Yacht Charters was so far the best. We had a 4-boat flotilla with 39 family and friends including 8 kids. We were hooked up with 4 incredible patient safe and knowledgeable Captain/Skippers. Thank you well deserved to Captain Nici as well as Ahmad, Amaal and Kemari. Several first timers in our group had the following observations regarding skippered yacht charters: Amazing to wake up and be in a new place without having to pack up for each new location, the cost at first seemed high but in hind sight we did not require alot of taxis or day charters, we were able to eat breakfasts leisurely on the boat while traveling to each days new island all saving on costs day to day you wouldn't have in an Air BNB. The BVI culture is like no other. It is slow friendly safe and every local we came in contact with seemed to appreciate the visitors but not hound or upsell at all costs. It was the most relaxing vacation ever. Why choose BVI Yacht Charters?: The prices are affordable, the boats are in ship shape (not one of our 4 boats had any issue whatsoever), the captain/skippers they pair you with are top notch, the location on the boarding dock and office is easy access and local to all things such as ice, market and night life. The number one reason to choose is they are easy to work with accommodating every step of the way.
BVI with Captain Khadin
This was our second year sailing in BVIs and it was amazing! Last year we had a fiasco with the boat we rented, but Captain Khadin took great care of us and we made the best of it This year he connected us with BVI Yacht Charters and everything was so smooth. Khadin is THE best!!! We’ve been messaging with him ever since we left last year. He went to BVIYC to look at the boat and make sure it would suit our needs. He connected us with a private water taxi to and from STT. Every morning he would reserve a ball for the evening and make dinner reservations for us if needed. He handled everything! He’s so laid back and patient, and just wants to make sure you have a great time. We met another group that had a super uptight captain and I can’t even imagine how much that would change your trip. He loves kids, safety is always top priority and we will recommend him to all of our friends who want to sail BVIs. But beware….we taught him to play spoons and he’s really good, no mercy, HA!! CANNOT RECOMMEND CAPTAIN KHADIN ENOUGH!!!
Excellent Charter Company
BVIYC has a sterling reputation and they lived up to expectations. This was our first charter in BVIs and we were very impressed by BVIYC. The entire team and staff are excellent and professional. Shout outs to Tikka, Kelly, Kelly and Moon! Our boat was very well maintained and functioned perfectly - in fact it was a very nice boat!
We keep going back
We love BVI Yacht Charters. The people are warm and kind. We have chartered 3 times, with excellent service and boats. We found them superior to the one other company we used in the Mediterranean. They have a good selections of boats that are well maintained.
BVI Yacht Charters delivers again!
This is my third time sailing with BVI Yacht Charters for a week or more. They have been super consistent in the quality of the vessels at a very reasonable price relative to other companies in the area. I'm so pleased that I'm going back for another trip in a few weeks! The staff are helpful, courteous, responsive, and patient. What more could you ask for in a charter company? I've only had one issue in route in the three trips and they sent someone out immediately to address the issue (which was relatively minor and resolved within two hours). I was stunned at how quickly they were able to get us right back on track with no impact to our trip. The staff had help for us and/or suggestions for everything from the time we got off the plane to the time we were heading back to the airport. And Tika, our check-out captain, was first class the whole way! She was super patient with me while I learned the ship's systems! I'll definitely be back!
BVI Yacht Charters, key to a great sail.
Visited the BVIs for the third time this March, all with bareboat from BVI Yacht Charters. Whilst the winds were 20, gusting 30, we didn't let that stop us, with a reef or two we had a great time. BVIYC are a GREAT group of people that are there to try to set you up for having the time of your life. Calling out Teka specifically, she checked the boat out and in, and has a personality that is infectious, thanks for walking us through the boat and checking us back in. Keep in mind that there will always be hiccups, after all these are boats in saltwater, BVIYC has always been there to talk you through it and make it right ALWAYS bringing solutions to the issues. The BVIs are a great sailing "playground" and BVIYC have the best "swing sets" in town. We have chartered Big Blue, the Beneteau 3.5 for just the two of us and 45 foot cats for 3 or 4 couples. The boats are always clean and in great shape, but people make the difference. Thank You all, we had a great time.
Amazing Captain!
This was our first time chartering a boat. We hired a captain and he did a great job! The trip exceeded our expectations. Captain Dennis helped us catch fresh fish to feed us, he always got the best spot to park the boat and put up with a boat full of newbies. His advice and planning made the trip seamless for us. Hopefully we will be back!
Back again in the BVIs
We chartered a monohull through BVI Yacht Charters last year and had a great experience. We came back again this year and chartered a slightly larger monohull since we had two additional people aboard for 11 nights. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to go to Anegada as we had planned because we had to adjust our float plan due to an illness aboard. Even so, we had a great time with some excellent sailing.
Dec 2025 Catamaran Sailing
BVI Yacht Charters excellent to deal with. Had a problem on the run out and Captain Khadin Fahie turned around headed back to base. The mechanics ( about 4-5) were on it immediately! A slight delay but all was quickly fixed. Captain Khadin was the BEST and customized our sailing to all the best destinations. He was determined to locate our “ wedding spot” from 25 years ago! He is very professional, confident and always willing to help. A 5 star Captain for sure.
BVI Yacht Charters are Top-Notch!
Having chartered bare boats in the BVI since 1982, we found BVI Yacht Charters to be top notch! From the moment we stepped aboard our catamaran for the first night sleep over, the boat was welcoming and ready to go; clean and well-appointed with the AC on for a cool night at the dock. The entire staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Their very cheerful front office staff was quite helpful, the boat checkout very thorough, and a quick, efficient return was best we've experienced in a long time. And mid charter, when our dinghy engine quit, they met us at Marina Cay to deliver a replacement, all within 2 hours of reporting it. We highly recommend BVI Yacht Charters!
An amazing week long charter thanks to BVI Yacht Charters
This was the first time that my wife and I had chartered alone and it was an amazing experience. The staff at BVI Yacht Charters patiently answered every question we had and took the time to make sure we were comfortable with the boat. We chartered "Chilli" which is a 31 foot monohaul perfect for 2 people. If you're going to charter for the first time as a couple I would highly recommend this vessel! We are eager to go back with friends and try something bigger.
Best charter company in the British Virgin Islands
This was my third time chartering from BVI Yacht Charters over the past 18 months. They are truly the best charter company in all of the BVIs. This was told to me by a yacht charter broker who has access to booking at all yacht charter companies. They advised that most of the charter companies in the BVIs neglect their boats which never shows up in the photos.... The attention to detail and the expertise of the technical staff when something goes wrong is what you want when you charter a boat with a company. You want a company that actually cares... I will never go anywhere else. The office staff (both Kellys) and Tika (the best boat operator I've ever seen) make it feel like good friends when I arrive at the dock. Wonderful company and wonderful people! See you in 6 months!
Fantastic experience !
We had a fantastic experience with BVI Yacht Charters! From the first contact with the office, to see if the boat was available, to having us a taxi waiting, to take us back to the airport, the staff went above and beyond! The boat, SV Arun, was spotless and we had zero issues during our charter. Our boat briefer, Teka, was very thorough! We could not have had a better experience!
GOAT Captain & BVI Adventure
We knew this trip would be spectacular, but we were in no way prepared for the incredible friendship we’d make with our captain and new love every person on our boat would leave with for the BVI. If you’re thinking of booking the trip…do it!BVI Yacht Charters was perfect from start to finish. Arete was a dream to sail! We booked our trip in June for a late July departure, and Kelly made sure we had everything we needed to ensure it was an amazing adventure. We could not have had a better captain, and we are so grateful Khadin Fahie was available for a final trip of the season with our family. Y’all - no amount of words of thanks and gratitude would ever be enough for Kaiden. By the end of our week together we truly feel he is a part of our family. Khadin was flexible and engaging with every aspect of our charter, and he was fabulous with our kids (8 and 5) and got them involved in each days sail, dinghy adventures, and land explorations. If you’re seeking a captain for a trip look up Khadin Fahie!!Cheers to everyone we met along the way, and we are looking forward to our next trip with BVI Yacht Charters…and Khadin!
Everyone cared.....EVEYONE!
I have used BVIYC 7 times and currently have our 8th booking for April 2026. I did charter 3 other times from others and it was clear that i needed to return to BVIYC. This kind of vacation will come with challenges and the way the helped was top notch.
Brilliant BVI Family Vacation
Can't say enough good things about our BVI Charters experience. Highlights:- The Vienna (5 cabins, Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 ft) was the perfect catamaran for our group (2 couples and their 4 older teen daughters). The girls loved to tan on the tramps up front while we sailed, plenty of room in the back to eat meals and lounge in the shade, and the flybridge was perfect for happy hours with great views. Well appointed, had everything we needed. You can find a tour of the Vienna on YouTube, check it out!- Our captain Dennis was FABULOUS. He made sure we all had a great time, dealt with annoying other boaters who got super close to us, and truly added to the vibe with his fun personality and wit. We'd definitely request him if you can.- The BVI Charter staff (shoutout to Kelly) was super helpful in arranging things ahead of time and answering all my questions before arrival/upon checkin.A few tips for first timers:- Use the links on BVI Charter's site to order your groceries ahead. We showed up at the boat and all of our refrigerated items were put away, dry goods and drinks neatly stacked - saves time and while delivery costs a little extra, it's capped at $75 for anything over $750 at RiteWay so stock up and save your self time and hassle- We wish we would have had stickers made for our group, so many beach bars have fun spots where people have left stickers, signed college flags, etc. Next time!- Speaking of college flags - we bought little marine flags for our universities (Illinois, Iowa, UCLA & Vanderbilt) and ran them up the sails so that we could easily ID our boat from far away in the midst of all the other white boats. Other people use funky lights.- The FaceBook group that says you need tons and tons of cash? We didn't use NEAR as much cash as those posters recommend - most of the beach bars, restaurants, ferrys and grocery stores all accept credit cards. Definitely do need cash for taxis to/from the ferrys though.
Great adventures on Stargazer
A group of 9 friends chartered Stargazer, 47' sailing catamaran for 11 fabulous days in May 2025. The boat was beautiful and perfect for our group. This is our second time chartering with BVI Yacht Charters, and we will never go anywhere else. The staff is the very best and a joy to work with and boats are perfect!
Great boat, great captain (Khadin Fahie)
Best. Vacation. Ever. We rented a 42' sailing catamaran for one week in June 2025. The staff were very helpful in answering all our questions in the months leading up to our trip - it was our first time doing this type of trip, so we needed the guidance. The boat (Pleasant Arbour) was in great condition and was a comfy home for us. The company also connected us with a fantastic captain, Khadin Fahie. As a BVI local, he knows the water and the islands very well. He created a fantastic itinerary for us, and our family (me, spouse, 2 teens) had a perfect week.Photo courtesy of ChrisTU - ours is the boat with white sails
