By the Cabin Yacht Charters

Rent a stateroom with your own private bathroom, just as you can on a cruise ship but, instead of several thousand new acquaintances, you will just have a few new friends. Your professional crew manages the sailing around the British Virgin Islands and a cook prepares your meals from fresh local produce. Sometimes your crew will even catch fresh Tuna or Mahi Mahi right off the catamaran!

All the frustrating aspects and stresses of life will be left behind and you will soon adapt to a more laid-back pace – one that allows you to follow the rhythms of the sea and tropical BVI trade winds. The catamaran’s shallow draft allows for entrance to special anchorages and snorkelling spots – places that large cruise ships can only dream of sharing with their passengers.

Explore the British Virgin Islands in fully-catered luxury aboard an Ipanema 58’ catamaran or a Lagoon 620 catamaran. With loads of deck and sunbathing space, these yachts comfortably accommodate 12 guests in 6 double cabins each with their own private en-suite.

There are options galore on this unique cruise around the beautiful BVI – hiking, safari tours, kayaking and plenty of snorkelling and diving.

Monkey Point on Guana Island is home to stunning and diverse aquatic life. Cane Garden Bay on Tortola is the perfect place to stroll along the shoreline. Sandy Cay is covered in beautiful trails (not to mention its proximity to the famous Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost van Dyke).

Your premium cabin offers a luxurious retreat to return to after you spend your days exploring some of the many islands in the beautiful BVI.

All in all, the Tortola Dream Premium cruise is the ultimate treat and crewed, catered, fully-planned sailing provides views of the BVI you won’t want to miss.
