A BVI cabin charter, also called a by-the-cabin or shared yacht charter, lets you reserve an individual cabin aboard a professionally crewed catamaran rather than chartering the entire yacht privately. You share the yacht and scheduled itinerary with other guests, making this an attractive way for couples, solo travelers and small groups to experience a crewed sailing holiday in the British Virgin Islands.
Cabin-charter inclusions, departure dates, yacht assignments and itineraries vary by program. Depending on the selected departure, packages may include a captain, cook or chef, meals, beverages and selected water activities. We confirm the specific yacht, schedule, inclusions and terms before you book.

BVI Cabin Charters: Book a Cabin on a Crewed Catamaran
The British Virgin Islands are especially well suited to cabin charters, with short distances between islands, sheltered anchorages and varied stops that fit naturally into a scheduled sailing itinerary. The British Virgin Islands are known for their beauty and calm waters. A multitude of excellent anchorages and idyllic islands make the BVI one of the best locations for Caribbean sailing vacations and is one of our largest bases.
Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, is the most developed, however, it remains charmingly reminiscent of the West Indies’ past: a quiet, colonial atmosphere. The BVI (British Virgin Islands) have made yacht chartering one of their main industries and we are very proud to be able to offer our catamaran sailing vacations in this island hot spot.
We’ll give you the best possible experience you can have in the British Virgin Islands as we take you to some of the popular locations as well as some of the not so popular stops. Virgin Gorda, the second largest island, which is famous for “The Baths”, which have been described by many as the Eighth Wonder of the World. The site is characterized by huge boulders and crystal blue water with a sparkling white-sand beach. Other island stops on this BVI yacht charter include Jost Van Dyke, home to the famous Foxy’s and Soggy Dollar Bar, Anegada, which is a very popular location for many sailing charter companies, Peter Island, and Norman Island, where snorkelers and divers can explore the famous underwater caves as a highlight to their sailing vacation.

As a previous Chef and First Mate, Andrea understands what it takes to run a great charter. As such, she is a fantastic broker, pairing yachts and crew with those looking for fun and a memorable vacation!
They set us up on a great 40 foot boat and we sailed four days in the Virgin Islands and then sailed to Saint Martin and had a wonderful trip
Our captain Steve and chef Andrea were absolutely amazing. This was my first time sailing so I did not know what to expect. They made the trip go by with comfort and ease. We were definitely in good hands and I would recommend to anyone who wants a great experience! Also helps they laughed at our groups ridiculous comments and jokes.
Just spent an AMAZING week cruising with Captain Steve and Chef Andrea! It was the holiday of a lifetime! Steve is an experienced and skilful sailor and we felt at ease with the boat in his hands especially in windy conditions! Andrea produces the most incredible, nutritious, delicious food in plentiful quantities! They know the best anchorages, snorkelling areas and watering holes! Cannot recommend enough! Five stars from us
We just came off a fantastic week long cruise in the BVI on a Lagoon 42 cat with Capt. Steve as our skipper. We can't say enough good things about Steve. We've done a couple of cruises before and Steve made this one of our best. First off, he gently explained that our planned itinerary would probably not be too comfortable given the wind and swell conditions last week. We re-routed on his recommendations and still hit the places we wanted to see and did the things we wanted to do. He's incredibly knowledgeable about every island...what to do, what to see, where to eat...you can tell he lives on these islands and loves it. He even accompanied us on a couple of our excursions. Best of all, he was always very polite and considerate, especially with one of our group that wasn't as comfortable on the boat and in the dinghy as the rest of us. If you want someone that will have your best interests in mind, will take the time to understand your needs and desires for your trip, and do it all comfortably and safely, you'll be in good hands.
