Hiring a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands

Located in the heart of the Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands is a magical place for your next catamaran hire. The archipelago includes four main islands - Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke - along with 50 smaller islets and cays. For many years, this small British Overseas Territory has been considered to be one of the best sailing destinations in the world and with your catamaran charter, you will understand why. It’s time to book your next sailing holiday in the British Virgin Islands with Océans Evasion.

How much does it cost to hire a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands?

The price of a catamaran hire in the British Virgin Islands depends on several criteria such as the boat model, the season and the duration of your trip and any additional services that you may need. The archipelago is famous for its rich marine life and no trip to the British Virgin Islands would be complete without hiring water sports equipment like snorkels, along with your catamaran. You can use our internal messaging system to contact the boat owners about the equipment available.

In the low season, you can expect to pay an average of £7,700/week. If you wish to travel to this archipelago during the peak period, it will cost you an average of £9,800/week to hire a catamaran.

Why should you charter a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands with a skipper?

It is possible to hire a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands with or without a skipper. If you wish to discover this archipelago at your own pace while also customising your itinerary, we highly recommend a bareboat charter. On the other hand, if you wish to avoid any of the sailing technicalities, we advise you to have a skipper onboard. The highly-trained professional will be here to take care of all the logistics, while also guiding you to the best spots around the islands. Many destinations in the British Virgin Islands remain off the beaten path and there’s no better way to discover them than with a local!

When is the best time to charter a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands?

The British Virgin Islands are prone to a warm climate all year round. The temperatures remain more or less constant, with an average of 32°C in the summer and 29°C in the winter. The busiest time of the year is during the months of December and January. During this period, visitors flock to the archipelago to escape the colder temperatures of Northern Europe. However, the British Virgin Islands aren’t as busy as their Caribbean counterparts, meaning that you can enjoy the white sand beaches without the crowds every month of the year.

What to do in the British Virgin Islands?

The British Virgin Islands may not be as famous as other islands in the Caribbean, but when you land on this archipelago, you will wish that it forever stays this way. Pristine beaches, coral reefs and rainforest-filled national parks are some of the natural attractions that you can admire here with your catamaran hire. We have compiled a list of our must-sees to make your trip, an unforgettable one:

• Explore the rich marine life on the island of Jost Van Dyke, known to be one of the best snorkelling spots in the Caribbean Sea.
• Sail to the beautiful Norman Island, located in the south of the archipelago. This island is known for being the place where author Robert Louis Stevenson was inspired to write his novel Treasure Island.
• A catamaran charter in the British Virgin Islands would not be complete without a stop at the scenic Devil’s Bay in Virgin Gorda, known as The Baths by locals. This unique natural attraction was created 70 million years ago by granite that eroded into boulders. The surrounding water created pools in which you can swim in.
