Sail Per Cabin Yacht Charters: A New Way to Sail the British Virgin Islands
Sailing on a luxurious yacht in the Caribbean is more accessible than you might think.
Yacht charters offer a unique and immersive way to explore some of the most breathtaking destinations in the world. Whether you have sailed before or this is your first foray into open waters, chartering a yacht promises an unforgettable experience. And when it comes to the best sailing destinations, few places compare to the British Virgin Islands (BVI). With its turquoise waters, steady trade winds, and picturesque anchorages, the BVI is a sailor’s paradise.
At Sail Per Cabin, we specialize in making luxury sailing adventures more accessible by offering a pay-per-cabin model. Instead of chartering an entire yacht, travelers can book an individual cabin on a luxury, crewed catamaran—lowering the barrier to entry and providing a boutique all-inclusive experience on the water while sharing the adventure with like-minded explorers.

The British Virgin Islands: A Sailing Paradise
The British Virgin Islands have long been considered one of the top sailing destinations in the world. The region boasts over 60 islands, each offering a unique blend of white-sand beaches, lively beach bars, and incredible snorkeling spots. Here are a few must-visit locations in the BVI:
- Tortola – As the largest and most developed island in the BVI, Tortola is a vibrant mix of tropical beauty and rich history. Visitors can explore stunning beaches like Cane Garden Bay, where lively beach bars and reggae music create a festive atmosphere. The island also boasts the capital, Road Town, a bustling hub with charming shops, local markets, and historical sites. For adventure seekers, Sage Mountain National Park offers rewarding hikes with breathtaking panoramic views of the Caribbean.
- Virgin Gorda – Famous for The Baths, a geological wonder of massive granite boulders forming natural tidal pools, tunnels, and hidden beaches, Virgin Gorda is a must-visit destination. Beyond The Baths, travelers can explore the lesser-known but equally stunning Savannah Bay, a pristine stretch of white sand with calm, turquoise waters ideal for swimming. The island is also home to exclusive resorts and fine dining options, making it a perfect blend of adventure and luxury.
- Jost Van Dyke – This small but lively island is legendary for its beach bars and laid-back atmosphere. The world-famous Soggy Dollar Bar is the birthplace of the Painkiller cocktail, a delicious blend of rum, coconut, pineapple, orange juice, and nutmeg. White Bay, with its powdery white sand and shallow, crystal-clear waters, is perfect for swimming and relaxing. For a more tranquil experience, visitors can take a short boat ride to Little Jost Van Dyke, a serene escape with untouched beaches and excellent snorkeling.
- Anegada – Unlike the other volcanic islands of the BVI, Anegada is a flat coral atoll known for its miles of unspoiled beaches and incredible seafood. It is the best destination for those seeking solitude and natural beauty. The island is famous for its spiny lobster, served fresh at local beachside restaurants like the Lobster Trap and Neptune’s Treasure. Visitors can also explore Horseshoe Reef, one of the largest coral reefs in the Caribbean, offering some of the most spectacular snorkeling and diving experiences in the region.
- Norman Island – Said to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Norman Island is steeped in pirate lore. The island is uninhabited, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking adventure and seclusion. The famous caves at The Bight provide an unforgettable snorkeling experience, where underwater explorers can discover vibrant marine life and hidden passageways. The floating bar and restaurant, Willy T, is a legendary stop for sailors looking to enjoy a lively party atmosphere right on the water.

Preparing for Your Sailing Charter
- Pack Light – Space on a yacht is limited, so packing efficiently is essential. Opt for soft-sided luggage that can be easily stowed away and bring only the essentials—lightweight clothing, swimsuits, sun-protective gear, and a good pair of sandals or deck shoes. Don’t forget a waterproof bag for excursions and reef-safe sunscreen to protect both your skin and the marine environment.
- Embrace the Lifestyle – Life at sea is all about relaxation, adventure, and adapting to the rhythm of the ocean. Be prepared for a slower pace where the days are dictated by the wind and weather. Disconnect from technology and immerse yourself in the simple pleasures of watching a sunset from the deck, enjoying fresh seafood prepared by the onboard chef, and feeling the gentle sway of the boat as you drift off to sleep.
- Stay Open to New Experiences – A sailing adventure is all about discovery, from exploring remote beaches to trying new water activities like snorkeling, paddleboarding, or even deep-sea fishing. Engage with your fellow travelers, share stories, and embrace the camaraderie that naturally develops on a sailing journey. Be open to the spontaneity of the trip—sometimes the best moments come from unexpected detours to hidden coves or impromptu gatherings on the deck under the stars.
A Private BVI Catamaran Charter Experience
For those seeking a more personalized experience, private charters in the British Virgin Islands offer the ultimate in exclusivity and customization. Whether it’s anchoring in a secluded bay for a romantic sunset dinner, exploring hidden snorkeling spots known only to locals, or spending a day paddleboarding along pristine coastlines, private charters provide the freedom to tailor every aspect of the journey to personal preferences.
One of the most unique experiences of a private sailing charter in the BVI is the ability to access remote locations that are otherwise difficult to reach. Sailors can venture to uninhabited islands like Sandy Cay or Little Jost Van Dyke, where they can enjoy untouched beaches and clear, shallow waters perfect for snorkeling. Charter guests can also opt for a beach barbecue on a secluded island, where the crew sets up a gourmet meal under the stars, offering an intimate and unforgettable dining experience in the heart of the Caribbean.
Beyond the stunning beauty of the Caribbean, private charters also allow travelers to experience the vibrant local culture in an authentic way. From visiting laid-back beach bars like Foxy’s on Jost Van Dyke to dining at world-class waterfront restaurants like The Leverick Dining Experience in Virgin Gorda, charter guests can immerse themselves in the rich flavors, music, and traditions of the Caribbean. With a private yacht as their floating home, travelers can enjoy the best of both worlds—secluded tranquility by day and lively island festivities by night.
