Upon arrival to the BVI Customs, they will ask you where you are staying and where you will be going. The answer to this question is that you will be staying on a charter catamaran from Navagare Yachting Charters based out of Nanny Cay Marina on a vessel named Taisia.
A bareboat charter means we're renting the catamaran and acting as our own crew. We'll be responsible for sailing the boat, navigating, cooking, and all other aspects of the trip. No hired captain or crew will be provided.
The cost covers the charter fee for the catamaran, including basic insurance. It also includes provisions for snacks and meals on the boat as well as National Park fees (except the entrance fee to the Baths), cruising taxes, fuel, and water. It does not include your flights, transportation to/from the marina, ice, restaurant meals, activities, souvenirs. Drinks beyond water such as specialty sodas, mixers and adult beverages are not included, but can be provisioned for you at your cost. All orders will be grouped together and the order will be placed by BJ and you will be provided with documentation of how my you owe for your selections once they have been delivered and we have the invoice. We will settle this up on the boat.
For on-trip expenses, credit cards are accepted in most places, but cash (USD) is often preferred, especially on smaller islands. For the shuttles / taxis to and from the airports, we will coordinate the transportation, but each person will need to have cash to split the cost. It is recommended that you bring a few hundred dollars in small denominations to help pay for ice, trash removal and tips for dock hands helping with the boat.
Yes, a valid passport is required for travel to the British Virgin Islands. Ensure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your return date.
