Choosing the Right Yacht

Selecting the right yacht lays the foundation for a perfect romantic getaway, ensuring comfort and intimacy throughout the journey. Consider the types of yachts available and the various factors that influence choice.

3. Catamarans: Catamarans combine stability with spaciousness. Their two-hull design ensures a steady ride, while ample deck space and luxurious living areas cater to relaxation. These yachts suit couples wanting both comfort and adventure.

4. Luxury Superyachts: Luxury superyachts redefine opulence. They range from 80 to over 300 feet, featuring upscale interiors, personal chefs, and dedicated crews. Ideal for a lavish experience, superyachts often provide unique on-board activities and amenities.

   
   

Factors to Consider

2. Budget: Establish a clear budget that includes charter fees, fuel costs, and potential extra expenses like crew services and onboard provisions.

3. Amenities: Review amenities offered on the yacht. Look for kitchens, hot tubs, water sports equipment, and entertainment systems to enhance the romantic experience.

4. Itinerary Flexibility: Ensure the yacht can accommodate the desired itinerary. Confirm options for exploring various islands and secluded coves in the British Virgin Islands.

5. Crew Experience: Assess the experience and reputation of the crew. Knowledgeable and attentive crews enhance comfort and ensure a seamless experience.

6. Reviews and Recommendations: Research reviews from previous clients and seek recommendations. Personal experiences provide insight into the quality and service offered by the charter company.

   
   

Crafting Your Intimate BVI Itinerary

The magic of a BVI getaway lies in its blend of vibrant hotspots and utterly secluded anchorages.

Secluded Serenity: We can guide you to peaceful spots like Benures Bay on Norman Island or Long Bay on Virgin Gorda’s western tip, where you can spend a quiet night under the stars, truly away from the crowds.

Iconic Sunsets: For breathtaking, romantic settings for evening cocktails, we recommend a mooring in Virgin Gorda’s North Sound (Bitter End or Saba Rock) or along the west-facing shores of Jost Van Dyke, where the sky puts on a spectacular nightly show.

Beach Bliss: We’ll help you time your visit to famous beaches like The Baths (early morning) or White Bay (late afternoon) so you can enjoy them at their most peaceful, after the day-trippers have departed.

Planning Unforgettable Onboard Activities

The yacht itself is your private venue for romance.

• Private Dinners Under the Stars: Our crew can arrange a breathtaking candlelit dinner on deck, featuring fresh, local seafood and fine wines.

• Water Adventures: Dive into the crystal-clear water right from your yacht. We can equip you for snorkeling vibrant reefs, paddleboarding at sunrise, or simply floating together in a secluded bay.

• Ultimate Relaxation: Your itinerary is yours to command. Spend a day reading on deck, enjoying a massage, or simply basking in the sun with nothing but the sound of the waves.
