While a sailboat charter BVI adventure will certainly be relaxing and enjoyable, you will have to do some preparation in order to make sure that you and your guests are as comfortable as possible along the way. We are the number one sailboat charter the BVI has to offer, but do remember that you are essentially hiring out an empty sailboat. It is imperative that you arrange provisions for the duration of your sailboat charter journey.
If you want to ensure that your trip is comfortable and smooth every step of the way, it is important to take the time to thoroughly plan your provisions and trip. When it comes to providing a world-class 46-foot luxury catamaran, we have you covered. However, you will need to bring along enough supplies to enjoy all that our sailboat charter can offer.
For vibrant culture, pristine beaches, and endless sunshine, our sailboat charter in the BVI is second to none! To check our availability, please give us a call at 314-504-3346 or book online. For one of the best BVI catamaran charters available, choose Ciao for Now.
Provisioning for Your BVI Sailboat Charter Adventure!
The first step toward provisioning for Caribbean yacht charters is to determine whether you are going to use a provisioning company or shop for yourself. A provisioning company is very handy way of getting supplies for your journey. They will stock everything you need and deliver it straight to the boat. These full-service provisioning companies take the stress out of prepping for your trip and can allow you to enjoy a little down time in the islands before setting sail.
If you prefer to shop for yourself for your sailboat charter in the BVI, here is a list of some essential things to get/do before you sail away:
- Locate the nearest grocery store. There are plenty of grocery stores within easy access of our marina. The variety of stores on the island mean that all dietary restrictions and preferences can be accommodated no problem.
- Think about the duration of your journey and plan for what you will need. Start with basics such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, trash bags, and wet wipes. Dry bags or Ziploc bags are a great thing to have on hand as they keep things like phones and money dry and sand-free.
- Be sure to pack all your toiletries and medication, not to mention bug spray!
- Sunscreen is an absolute must bring when on a sailboat charter in the BVI. The Caribbean sun is amazing but ever-present! Lotion based sunscreens are best as sprays/Coppertone products yellow the boat deck. There is also a Caribbean-wide ban on sunscreens containing Oxybenzone that harm marine life.
Don’t Forget Your Beverages and Ice!
Cold drinks are an essential part of a Caribbean sailboat charter in the BVI. Be sure to pack plenty of water, sodas, juices, etc. Alcoholic beverages are recommended but try to avoid glass whenever possible for safety. Ice is readily available from the on boat icemaker.
