Questions we get asked

Something else? Ask our team.

Do I need a sailing licence?

The BVI do not require a licence, but we ask for a sailing résumé showing you have skippered a similar boat. If you are unsure, add a skipper for the first day.

What is included in the charter price?

The boat, standard equipment, dinghy with outboard and a full tank of fuel and water. Final cleaning is charged on every booking; other extras are optional.

When is the best time to sail?

December to April brings steady trade winds and the driest weather. Summer is quieter and cheaper; hurricane season runs June to November.

Can I start any day of the week?

Most catamarans can start any day with a 5-night minimum. Some monohulls are Saturday to Saturday. The calendar on each boat shows the days that work.
