The Start of Your Charter Vacation

Once on board, your Captain’s first step is to sit down with you to discuss the itinerary for your charter, depending on whether you want a quiet or wild trip, shopping, just water sports, or a mix of both.  Your captain will then suggest the best place for you to have the best possible vacation experience.

Ensure you have your documentation ready, including your passport and the captain’s information, before boarding. You will want to take ziplock bags to protect your items and be fully prepared for your chilled or action-packed adventure.

The BVI is a very relaxed place, which is what makes it such a special and calming destination. Remember that life will seem to be going slower and more comfortable than what you are used to, and this will be a consideration when travelling around the islands. Known as limin’ to the locals, it’s okay to relax and chill when on your vacation!

 

When many travellers arrive, they are surprised by the islands’ laid-back atmosphere. They are often used to the busy, bustling life of the US or other mainland Countries. This is another gem in the crown of the islands’ beauty and what makes them such a fantastic vacation destination. Once you embrace island vibes, your relaxation will be significantly enhanced. So kick back, relax, and enjoy those Caribbean vibes upon arrival.
