If I fly into St. Thomas, can my charter start and end there?

While there are a handful of yachts that may be able to offer St. Thomas ports and a BVI itinerary, most of the crewed charters that occur in the BVI will require a BVI pick-up and drop-off. With this in mind, you’ll need to get to the BVI and back on your own.

What’s the best way to get to the BVI and back from St. Thomas?

At our recommendation, a large majority of our clients take private water taxis to the BVI and back for their charters. While this option is more expensive than a commercial ferry, it offers a much faster and far more seamless experience. At Carefree, we will also assist our clients with their private water taxi reservation process to ensure that their water taxis are booked with a recommended source and additionally align well with their charters and flights.

Can I fly into the BVI for my charter?

While flights in and out of St. Thomas remain the most popular pick, typically due to preferred routes, times and pricing, our other suggested option is to take a commercial flight in and out of San Juan, Puerto Rico with a connecting puddle jumper flight to the BVI and back. We will also assist with puddle jumper recommendations or with private charter flight reservations either from Puerto Rico to the BVI and back or from St. Thomas to the BVI and back.

A two family group that we booked aboard 62' Catamaran Twin Flame for Christmas 2021 said:

We can’t say enough positive things about our trip. It was perfectly designed for our adventurous family. We loved working with you! The communication was very helpful in outlining the COVID protocols and what we would need. So grateful for the perfect match of boat to our family. You also have a wonderful reputation with the crew - they said you are one of the most thorough, easy to work with, honest and detail oriented brokers out there. We have already given your name out multiple times. Thanks for the bottom of all of our hearts!
