A private powerboat with captain lets you see in one day what would take several by sailboat. It is the favourite option in the British Virgin Islands for families and groups staying on Tortola or arriving by ferry from St. Thomas.
Route ideas
- The Indians and the caves of Norman Island: first-class snorkelling.
- The Willy T, Norman Island’s famous floating bar.
- The Baths on Virgin Gorda.
- Anegada: endless beaches, Loblolly Bay and grilled lobster (longer run, full day).
- Jost Van Dyke and Sandy Spit.
Who it is for
Groups of up to 8-12 people who want privacy and flexibility. Ideal for celebrations or as an extra day before or after your sailing week.
What to bring
- Passport if crossing from the USVI.
- Reef-safe sunscreen, towels and a dry bag.
Best time
December to May. Fuel for long routes (Anegada) may carry a supplement. Park mooring fees are paid separately or added.
Good to know
Your captain knows the best times to avoid crowds at The Baths and The Indians. If you arrive by ferry from St. Thomas, we can pick you up directly at West End to save time. Customs clearance is handled at the port of entry and the captain will guide you through it.
