What should I pack for my BVI yacht charter trip?

Less is more and pack collapsible suitcases. Check out my sailing trip packing list post for all the details.

Can I charter a yacht in the USVI and travel to BVI?

Yes! Make sure you confirm with with your broker or charter company that your yacht is approved for travel to BVI.

If I have experience chartering a monohull, can I charter a catamaran?

Most likely, yes. You'll need to confirm with your charter company. I actually think catamaran's are much easier to maneuver and handle as compared to a monohull. Read more about why I think the catamaran is the better option for your sailing trip here.

What are you supposed to tip for a crewed charter?

It is customary to tip 20-25% of the cost of the charter.

What is Boatyball and do I need to use it?

It's a reservation system to book mooring balls at some of the popular bays and anchorages. I break it down in more detail here. No, you don't need to use it. But, in peak season, the mooring balls at the most popular spots (Cooper Island and Great Harbour in particular) will fill up fast - sometimes before noon! Most crews would prefer to spend the day enjoying themselves rather than racing to their next destination. In that case, it might make sense for you to try and use their system. Good luck!
