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.
Using the Captain’s and Our Knowledge
Your trip wouldn’t be possible without your captain, and their knowledge of the islands is invaluable. If you are looking for additional inspiration and spontaneity on your vacation, don’t be afraid to ask the captain about the proposed routes and places to visit. Your captain will dictate your routes, and they will be more than happy to offer helpful suggestions to enhance your vacation.

Sit Back, Relax and Enjoy The Vibes of the Islands
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!

So kick back, relax, and enjoy those Caribbean vibes upon arrival.
