USD per seven nights. The range reflects seasonal pricing. Confirm the final quote with the charter company; some companies may offer shorter minimum stays.
Bareboat charter costs
A bareboat rate covers use of the yacht without a professional crew. It is usually the lowest-cost way to charter if your skipper meets the company's experience requirements. The advertised rate normally excludes provisioning, fuel, permits, moorings and optional damage-waiver or skipper services.
Crewed charter costs
Crewed rates include a captain and may include a chef, but inclusions differ by yacht. Some quotes include meals, standard drinks and running costs; others use an advance provisioning allowance or charge expenses separately. Compare the written inclusions, not only the headline weekly rate.
Fees and extras to budget for
Government permits
BVI cruising permits and National Parks permits may be charged separately, often according to guest count and charter dates.
Fuel and moorings
Fuel, marina berths and overnight mooring balls are commonly additional on bareboat charters and some crewed charters.
Food and drink
Provisioning is normally extra for bareboats. Crewed-charter inclusions vary, so check whether meals, drinks and an allowance are included.
Crew and gratuity
An optional skipper or chef is charged separately on a bareboat. For fully crewed yachts, ask the operator about customary gratuity guidance.
Travel and insurance
Flights, ferries, taxis, cancellation cover and travel insurance sit outside the yacht quote.
Deposits and protection
Ask about the booking deposit, security deposit, damage waiver, cancellation terms and any card-processing charge before paying.
How to use these figures
Start with the boat-type range, then open individual yacht pages to compare seasonal rates and specifications. The charter company supplies availability and the binding quote. Each listing identifies whether the yacht is bareboat, crewed, bareboat or crewed.
