Sailing vacations in the Caribbean used to be a luxury and yachts were once the playthings of the rich and famous. Chartering a fully crewed yacht was accessible only to the privileged and wealthy few. If you had to ask how much, you couldn’t afford it.
Nowadays, things are very different. With yachts to suit every budget, chartering in today’s world is as easy and affordable as any other vacation, all the latest toys included — but with some major and delightful differences.
Crewed chartering brings new meaning to the words “getting away”. Perfect for families, honeymoons, friends and even corporate retreats, the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean are a paradise of hidden treasures.
There is something for everyone. From total seclusion to the wildest party spots, and everything in between, the British Virgin Islands’ 60 islands and islets have it all. Reconnect yourself to the heartbeat of life, away from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.
Dream. Breathe. Laugh. Play. Let Dynamic Charters arrange all the details.

Want to Sail? Learn to Sail Your Crewed Charter Sailboat!
What better way to learn the basics then by cruising with a fully-qualified Skipper? Many of our captains love to teach novice sailors and are thrilled to see their guests try their hand at the helm. We even offer lessons to our youngest passengers—it’s quite the experience seeing your 6-year-old steering a yacht (with the captain by his side). Many Captains have sailed in different areas of the world and love to share stories of their adventures over a cocktail at the end of the day.
Food for Thought: Crewed Sailing Vacations Featuring Special Menus
Chefs on crewed charter yachts take great pride in their ability to provide high quality menus. Every meal is created individually according to your preference sheet. The preference sheet is your opportunity to let the crew know your likes and dislikes, dietary restrictions, wine and beverage preferences, and your favorite brands of spirits. If children are in your party, we can even create special meals for our littlest sailors! Check out the sample menus for ideas and standards.
Captain-only BVI Sailing Vacations
Want the amenities of a crewed yacht without the expense of fine dining? Charter one of our Captain-only yachts. Your Captain will take care of the sailing, the yacht, and plan the itinerary, while you are responsible for providing the food (including feeding the captain) cleaning, cooking fuel, water, ice, and local permits.
Many of our Captains are the owners of their boats which has an advantage over just hiring a captain. Owners take pride in their yachts, know them inside and out, and tend to have extensive local knowledge. If you decide you need a chef/stewardess, the captain can provide one to add as extra crew. A Captain-only charter is ideal if you do not want a full crew onboard and prefer to do your own cooking or eat ashore more often than dining onboard.
