Hiring a crewed charter is the closest experience you will ever have to taking your own private luxury cruise. However, unlike a cruise ship experience, a charter allows you the freedom to choose where you want to go and what you want to see. You can also modify your itinerary and plans as you go, spending more time in places that capture your attention and imagination and even finding new places to explore as you travel.
The BVI or British Virgin Islands offers a wealth of destination locations throughout this group of islands. Not all crewed charter yachts have the same quality of captain and crew or offer the same type of boat and services.
Before choosing a charter in the British Virgin Islands, there are some very important questions to ask in advance of booking. Ideally, plan to book the charter several months in advance to avoid finding the service is completely booked during your stay. The year around beautiful weather in this tropical paradise means there is never really an off-season, and the top charters are typically booked to capacity most weeks of the year.
Experience of the Crew and Captain
It is not surprising that the experience of the captain and crew in the charter business is a very big factor as to the experience you can expect. An experienced charter captain and crew in the BVI will anticipate all their guests require, having all the beverages, food selection and specialty items on board to make your experience memorable.
An experienced captain and crew will also be knowledgeable about the area, providing information on places to see and things to do while you are in the BVI or if you are planning to travel to the United States Virgin Islands.
Amenities on Board
Simple questions about the amenities on board will also ensure you get just the experience you are looking for.
Ask what is included in the price, including if beverages and snacks or food items are part of the included features. If there are any dietary concerns, you should also ask if the crewed charter can provide foods that are approved for your diet or the diet of your guests.
Restrooms, showers, the number of beds and even options for preparing food on board should be known before booking the charter. This ensures a very positive experience with no misunderstandings about what you can expect.
