A BVI private yacht charter gives your group exclusive use of the contracted yacht. Start by deciding who is traveling, how much privacy each guest needs, and which experiences you want the captain to consider for your itinerary.
Exclusive use is the central choice here: you select the guest group and discuss preferences for meals, activities, and daily pace. Crew services and inclusions still depend on the individual contract. Our BVI crewed yacht charter guide explains the service side of that decision.
A private yacht charter gives your group exclusive use of the yacht, crew, accommodations, meals, and itinerary throughout your vacation.
