Picture this: your family cruising through crystal-clear waters, laughter carried on the breeze, with secluded beaches and hidden snorkeling spots just waiting to be discovered. This is not a dream — it’s a day on the water with Ocean Bliss Charters, where we help families create memories that last a lifetime.

In the British Virgin Islands (BVI), where natural beauty meets Caribbean charm, the best way to experience it all is by sea. And with a private boat charter, complete with a personal driver, your family can explore at your own pace — no stress, no crowds, just pure bliss.

Why Choose a Private Boat Charter for Your Family?

A private boat charter gives your family the ultimate freedom. Unlike group tours, you decide where to go and how long to stay. Want to linger a little longer at that perfect snorkeling reef? Prefer to beachcomb on a deserted stretch of sand? The day is yours.

And with Ocean Bliss Charters, you won’t have to worry about handling the boat. Our experienced captains know these waters like the back of their hand. They’ll take care of everything — from navigating to finding the best hidden gems — so you can focus on what matters: enjoying the moment with your loved ones.

A Day in the Life: What Your BVI Boat Charter Could Look Like

Every family’s charter is unique, but the magic lies in the freedom to explore at your own pace. With your personal captain guiding the way, you can craft a day filled with adventure, relaxation, or a little of both. From vibrant snorkeling spots to hidden beaches and local dining gems, here’s a glimpse of what your unforgettable day on the water might include.

Stop 1: The Indians

Your first adventure could be snorkeling at The Indians, a famous BVI rock formation where marine life flourishes. Slip into the warm water and spot colorful fish, coral gardens, and maybe even a sea turtle or two — all while your captain keeps a watchful eye on safety.

Stop 2: Norman Island’s Caves

Next, head to Norman Island to explore the legendary caves said to have inspired Treasure Island. For kids and adults alike, it’s a chance to imagine pirate adventures while swimming into the cool, shadowy caverns.

Stop 3: Lunch at a Beach Bar

When hunger strikes, your captain can take you to a local beach bar for fresh seafood, island favorites, and cold drinks. From the famous Willy T floating bar to laid-back spots on Jost Van Dyke, your options are endless.

Stop 4: A Secluded Beach

End the day on a quiet beach where your family can relax, splash in gentle waves, or hunt for shells. With no set schedule, you can stay as long as you like before your boat whisks you back, sun-kissed, salty, and smiling.

The Personal Touch: Why a Driver Makes All the Difference

When you charter with a personal driver, you’re not just renting a boat — you’re gaining a local guide, a safety expert, and a friendly host rolled into one. Our captains know the tides, the currents, and the best times to visit each spot to avoid crowds. They’ll tailor the experience to your family’s preferences, whether you want a high-energy adventure or a laid-back day of cruising.

And perhaps best of all? Parents can truly relax. No need to worry about charts, fuel, or docking — we’ve got it covered. All you have to do is enjoy the ride.
