How do guests rate Vital Charters?
We could not have had a better experience with Vital Charters. They helped us book a yacht charter vacation in the BVI. Super responsive and professional. Jason helped us pick a great yacht for our family trip. Our crew was amazing too!

Which brokers sell BVI yacht charters?
42 brokers sell BVI yacht charters, Vital Charters among them. Three list a BVI office, two of them in Road Town. Most of the others have offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia or New Zealand. A broker's fee comes out of the yacht's rate, not on top of it, so the week costs what the yacht publishes.

Every broker on this page draws on these same managing companies, so the yachts you are shown will overlap from one broker to the next. What differs is the advice: which yacht and crew suit your group, and how the booking is handled. Choose a broker on that. Why do different yacht charter brokers all offer the same boats?
What does a crewed week in the BVI cost?
A crewed week in the BVI has a median rate of $32,000 on an all-inclusive yacht and $72,800 on a plus-expenses yacht. Most BVI crewed yachts are priced all-inclusive: 300, against 80 priced plus expenses.
Swipe sideways to see every column
| Charter model | Median week | Typical range | Yachts priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-inclusive | $32,000 | $25,650 to $44,500 | 300 |
| Plus expenses | $72,800 | $46,750 to $121,250 | 80 |
All-inclusive rates cover food, drinks and fuel. Plus-expenses rates add an advance provisioning allowance (APA) for those on top. Neither includes crew gratuity.
For rates by yacht size and season, read BVI crewed catamaran charter rates.
Where should you start with this list?
Start by deciding who sails the boat, because that rules out most of this page. A bareboat company hands the yacht to a qualified skipper in your group; a crewed yacht comes with its captain and usually a chef. Bareboat or crewed in the BVI?
For a crewed week, judge the crew rather than the company: brokers share one crewed fleet, so the same yachts turn up on more than one shortlist. Our guide on how to choose a BVI charter company walks through the checks, from reading a yacht's reviews to confirming it can charter in BVI waters.
Book direct or through a broker?
For a crewed yacht, the weekly rate is usually the same whether a broker presents it or you find the yacht yourself, because the yacht pays the broker out of that rate; what a broker adds is the comparison across all 69 managing companies. Whether you need one is covered in our guide to choosing a BVI charter company.

How we built this list
- Company check
- Each company's own website was opened on October 7, 2026. To be listed, the site had to load and name a BVI base, BVI yachts or a BVI page. Base, charter types and fleet details are printed as that site shows them; a fleet size appears only where the company's own site shows one. The Best for column is our own summary.
- Other sources
- Company facts come only from each company's own site. The six official bodies and trade associations in the associations table were opened the same day and are listed for reference.
- Fleet and price data
- Source: Vital Charters' live crewed-yacht database, pulled October 6, 2026. Active yachts only.
- A yacht counts for the BVI when it lists that cruising area for a season ending after October 6, 2026.
- Each yacht is counted once, at its lowest weekly base rate for that area, in US dollars. "Typical range" is the middle half of yachts (25th to 75th percentile).
- All-inclusive rates cover food, drinks and fuel. Plus-expenses rates add an advance provisioning allowance (APA) for those on top. Neither includes crew gratuity.
- Not listed
- Left out, with the reason: Bareboats BVI, White Squall II and Blue Runner Charters (their sites would not open), BareCat Charters and Double 'D' Charters (their pages loaded empty), C&D Powerboat Rentals (no working website found), Sail Caribbean Divers (a dive operator, not a charter company), Sea It Clear Tours (glass-bottom boat tours), Sailing Virgins (a sailing school) and Nicholson Yachts (no BVI link on its site). A sister brand that sells a different kind of charter is listed in its own right, as Crewed Charter and Festiva Sailing Vacations are. A sister brand that resells the same listings is not: Nautal and Master Yachting belong to the groups behind Click&Boat and Sailogy, which are listed.
