1) How to pick the right boat for your vacation.
Your experience sailing and the experience you want to have are the main considerations. Other than cost, the style and size of the boat will need to match your expectations. A family or close friends may have a great time on a 40ft Catamaran, however, eight adults all wanting some space will be happier on a Catamaran 45ft or bigger, with four queen berths and ensuites as well as plenty of lounging areas.
Even if you have sailing experience, you may want to consider a skipper or even a full crew All-inclusive charter, with a local guide, and someone to help you run the boat. Want to know the difference between a bareboat and an all-inclusive experience? Check out our blog here.
2) When to go.
High season runs December through March when the BVI has sunny skies, warm breezes, and little rain, but it does attract the most visitors, just as well you are on your own floating hotel so you can choose to mingle with the crowds or find your piece of paradise to just relax. Summer can be a good time to go with fewer tourists but the weather can be mixed with tropical rainstorms. Hurricane season is officially June through November, and while most hurricanes pass through the Caribbean in September it is something to consider, we always recommend travel insurance to cover the costs if anything should happen.

3) What's included.
Depending on whether you choose a bareboat, add a skipper, or go all-inclusive, costs vary.

If you want an adventure week with the wind in your hair, pulling the lines to make your sailboat go, then this can be a great vacation. Want to relax a little more and not worry about navigation, then a crew is your best option. Check out ou guide all-inclusive v bareboat here.

4) How to get there
The BVI capital, Tortola, does not have direct flights from North America; however, getting to the BVI is still easy via a connection from either Puerto Rico, Antigua, St Martin, or St Thomas. Most US travelers make their way through St Thomas; where it is a short ferry ride across to the BVI. Alternatively, with an all-inclusive charter, you can board your boat just a short trip from the airport and get underway; your skipper will even check you into BVI immigration while you relax onboard.
