The itinerary below is just one example of what your BVI sailing adventure could look like. Our team will help you choose a yacht that fits your group size, preferred amenities, and travel style.
Why a 6-Day Yacht Charter Is the Perfect Sailing Escape
A 6‑day yacht charter blends immersive discovery with flexible pacing. It’s long enough to feel expansive yet short enough to fit seamlessly into busy schedules.
Why Clients Choose 6 Days:
Immersive yet flexible — explore at your own rhythm without rigid routines
Easier scheduling — fits neatly into professional and family calendars
Lower time pressure — enjoy the journey without feeling rushed
Multiple islands in one trip — discover turquoise bays, hidden coves, and vibrant harbors
You’ll spend 7 nights onboard the yacht, giving you 6 full days to sail, explore, and enjoy your personalized itinerary. Note that boarding usually happens around midday on the first day. Disembarkation is also around midday on the last day, typically after breakfast and a short morning cruise.

Arrival Day: Tortola – Welcome Aboard Your Luxury Yacht Charter
Departure Day: Tortola – Farewell Breakfast & Smooth Sail Home
Morning Swim & Breakfast: Final dip in the sea, fresh pastries, and farewell mimosas.
Sail to Road Town: Then, leisurely cruise back to base.
Disembarkation: Guests typically give cash tips to the captain, who then fairly distributes them among the crew. This is also the time to settle any remaining balances, such as provisions.
