How Much Does a 4-Day BVI Yacht Charter Cost?

A 4-day crewed yacht vacation in the BVI is a relaxing and luxurious way to explore the islands. Prices usually start around $12,000 to $25,000 for standard catamarans, and can go over $40,000 for larger or more high-end yachts.

These trips include a captain and chef, so you can relax while they handle sailing, cooking, and planning. Most crewed charters cover meals, drinks, and the use of water gear. Additional costs may include communication, dockage, and crew tips.

Costs are higher during peak season (December to April), while off-season (May to November) often comes with discounts. If you’re traveling with a group, sharing the cost between 6 to 10 people can make it much more affordable.
