BVI Yacht Charter: The Ultimate Vacation Experience


BVI Yacht Charter

Take a few minutes to watch the presentation and video below to see what you will experience on your ultimate yacht charter vacation.

A Caribbean yacht charter is like no other vacation you've ever taken as you cruise on a luxury yacht onboard a private crewed yacht charter. Whatever type of charter in the Caribbean you are after we can accommodate your ever desire. We have many motor yachts as well as catamaran sailing yachts for charter. You also have a large selection of mega power yachts from which to select. 

Barrintgon Hall is a premier luxury yacht charter broker. We focus our attention on the elite mind set that demands the very best in luxury while on board a crewed yacht. Why take a cruise and get a closet for a room with the right to stand in line with 3,000 or more other people?

On a charter yacht in the Caribbean you get the entire boat to yourself, a personal crew and an itinerary that you arrange to your own desires and time. A Caribbean yacht charter will spoil you forever and you will want to return again and again. By the way - your luxury yacht vacation’s daily itinerary is worked out with your captain when you board your BVI charter for the first time. 

We seek to provide you with as much information about your Caribbean cruise location as we can, so that by the time you board your private yacht you have a good idea about where you want to go, what activities you enjoy, what types of meals you'd like to have prepared, what to do, et cetera.

We are ready to guide you in planning your wonderful vacation. Luxury yacht charters are available in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mediterranean, Greece and other charter destinations. 

Here's a destination recommendation: Tobago Cays & Mayrea
 


Tobago Cays & Mayreau

These picture perfect, tiny, uninhabited islands are fringed with sugar white sand surrounded by coral reefs and teeming with a great variety of marine life. A leisurely morning in the Cays must be on your schedule. Some of the best snorkeling in the world is in the Caribbean. See the protected waters around Baradal, a great place to see green turtles. 

Take the tender out to the shallow waters off the lagoon! Take the kayak and explore the islands. After lunch, set off on the brief 2 nautical mile passage to pristine Salt Whistle Bay Mayreau - the Caribbean’s great escape. A secret treasure with no airstrip so you have to sail here and so beautiful you may never want to leave. Picture-perfect beaches and bays and a friendly village, Mayreau is the untouched Caribbean you only hear of in whispers. Enjoy an afternoon of water sports, great food and good company!

Renting Yachts: Who Gets the Master Cabin?

Renting Yachts for Luxury Vacations

Who gets the master cabin?

You and your friends selected to charter a private mega yacht and you all have decided to take a luxurious yacht vacation in the Caribbean. Before the vacation begins it will be very important to answer to this very important question:

"Who get to stay in the master cabin while on the super yacht charter"?

This question invariably comes up when a party of 5 couples gets together to pay for a private luxury power boat, like to the British Virgin Islands. 

Naturally, each couple would like to share the costs equally, but often there are significant differences between the cabin sizes and amenities. The master cabin cannot be more different than single cabins, double cabins, California king and queen sized beds.


Yachts Charters for Caibbean Vacations
VIP Cabin
Why do they not make all the cabins equal just to make our life easy? This same issue is true for Mediterranean power yachts, Greece power yachts all over the world. See detail below.
Guests simply need to work out any which way they feel suites their party. Some draw straws for their cabins, some pay more and some couples pay less for their cabins, whatever works for your party is the right thing to do. So before your best experience of your lives, work out between each other who is about to have which cabin.
When private yachts are ordered the owner gives his requirements to what he wants to have on board his vessel. Remember you are renting a very wealthy person's water toy and it is for the new owner for whom the yacht is being manufactured.
 
Here are the instructions usually given to the yacht manufacturers:

- We want a large cabin for ourselves the full width of the yacht plus, a his and hers bathroom with a tub and heated floor.


Chartering Yachts
Master Cabin
- The master cabin needs a large walk in cupboard for clothes a study and a small area in the master cabin where my wife can put on and take off her make-up.
Master Bath
 - We want a VIP Queen sized cabin for our pals:
Lovely Guest Suite
- Two cabins that have 2 single beds inside with one cabin for our two children and the other cabin is for 2 body guards, or a nanny..


Twins for Kids, Body Guards or Nanny
Our industry is set up of different owners who dictate what price they want for each one charter week period and how many times each year they want their Crewed mega yacht to charter. There are no companies in our industry who have 10 - 150 foot power boats for rental that is just too much money sitting idol.

We do get asked to find equal cabin yachts and there are some of them out there, but very few and far between.

A private motor yacht will be one of the most adventure filled, yet relaxing vacations you may have in your lifetime.

Many of the yachts available for charter call the British Virgin Islands their home.

This itinerary is tailored to your desires and depending on how active or relaxing you want your yacht charter vacation to be.


In anticipation of your exciting vacation-to-be, the captain or crew contacts you to introduce themselves and inquire to what types of activities you like to enjoy - water sports, fishing, snorkeling, diving, beach barbeques, what islands to explore, ports of call to visit as well as and food & drink preferences.

The finalized itinerary is then based on your preferences and may include quiet secluded beaches, visiting island beach bars, dancing the night away to local bands. Snorkeling, water sports and scrumptious Caribbean lunches and dinners on the islands you want to see or the delicious cuisine prepared fresh for you right on your yacht.

Off to Peter Island and have a stay at the luxurious Peter Island Resort for the morning.  You're welcome to stay at the resort to enjoy their amenities and your crew will gladly schedule for you a day at the spa or even make dinner reservations.Perhaps you'd like to anchor in the beautiful blue clear waters of Little Harbor,  a quaint little anchorage where yachts stern tie to rocks, Mediterranean style. The crystal-clear calm waters of Little Harbor allow for water sports, snorkeling or just lounging on floats in the pristine azure-blue water. Or, you can have a lovely beach-side lunch at Deadman’s Beach Bar and Grill.

Barrington Hall Yacht Charters - 2805 E. Oakland Park Boulevard - Fort Lauderdale, Florida - USA


POV - Yacht Charter Broker

Chartering Yachts                

USVI Charters
Underwater Delights
As a captain for 5 years on board our own family-operated luxury catamaran my family and I got vital catamaran sailing experience.  It is this expertise that brings a whole new world to the guests' yacht charter, no matter where that maybe.  Guest question number one should be in deciding which charter broker should I select as there are a lot of yacht brokers out there.

The very first rule we made when we opened Barrington-Hall Yacht brokers in 1995 was that a real live person must answer the telephone morning, noon, or night 24/7. Service to our guests is in the forefront of our minds.
BVI Boat Charters
Having been a captain for many years means your vacation itinerary is going to be so much better than a broker who has no or very little experience operating or providing yacht charters.

All our guests enjoy the wonderful Baths, or the gorgeous Bitter End Yacht Club when on board their catamaran in the BVI (British Virgin Islands). Our guests get to see the 2 cannons in 10 feet of gin clear water resting on the seabed; snorkeling where red sea horses have been seen be on their charter during the prime week of each month (the full moon!) and to go to anchorages some captains have no idea even exist. 

 
BVI Charters
Our guests benefit by having the selection of the best one week of any month, the best one week of the entire year and we explain why they should be there doing those times.  Some guests are unable to move their dates to suite these periods, but they are given the option to do so.

Experience gives Barrington Hall Yacht Charters the knowledge of knowing when the windy months of each year are, or when not to go to various islands, or which “is” the best month of the year and why. We do not subject guests to open ocean crossings, we guide all our guests to the right locations world-wide.  We supply daily example itineraries we created the first daily itinerary to be in picture form and we also have the rest of the major locations in the world in picture formats as well.  


Look at all these photos were taken by Andrew Buys in the British Virgin Islands:   "Where Dolphins and Mermaids Play"
Chartering Yachts
Relentless
Our charter industry is made up of many independent owners who also wish to rent their yachts.  There are very few crewed yacht companies who purchase their own vessels for charter, have multiple yachts to charter. Almost every crewed charter yacht we work with is operated by the independent owner.

Most of the power boats that are over 100 feet are designed and built by a yacht company and the plans follow generally the same format.  The owners' cabins are full bean with a large his and hers bathroom, TV, surround sound music, a/c controls and a large California king-sized bed to their cabin.  


The guest VIP cabin is normally a king or Queen bed with all the options but one bathroom for their couple to use.  Then there are likely two cabins with twin beds inside - one to sleep 2 children and one to sleep 2 bodyguards.  So finding a power boat to charter over 100 feet with 4 equal cabins is generally not available.
Chartering Yachts
178' Starfire - Luxury on the Calm Seas
Generally when owner’s wish to charter their yachts it is money they are after for one reason or another. Generally base their vessels in one of 4 major locations world-wide. The Caribbean, Bahamas, French Riviera and Greece. Chartering outside these locations means relocation costs for most vessels, or renting local vessels which do not meet industry standards. 

Yes, many of these same owners want their yachts to go to different locations at various times of the year so that the owner and his family can enjoy different locations around the world.  But by stepping outside the familiar charter locations will mean less business to offset their yacht expenses but more pleasure for yacht owners.

Mediterranean Charter
French Riviera Yacht Charters
The major change in Location is to go from the Bahamas to the French Riviera. These days most 200' foot yachts are loaded onto a ferry with as many as 18 other power boats and ferried across the Atlantic to the Antibes. A one way trip for a 110 foot power boat is about $100,000 and the major the reason for transporting them across the Atlantic Ocean is that power boats can not carry enough fuel to cross the Atlantic.

Also, there is the Bahamas to Newport Rhode, Island.  Chartering yachts for guests is very different in the Bahamas and the Caribbean and your yacht charter broker should be able explain the ins and outs of the differences.

The crystal clear waters of the Bahamas and the Caribbean, which are about the same temperature as your body, allows 2-3 hours of snorkeling under water as well as all water sports everyday. 

Not so with Martha’s Vineyard, Block Island, or Nantucket where the water is so cold that generally no water sports are done. Usually, the emphasis being focused on exploring each individual island and taking in the deep American history related to these locations and then it is Back to the Bahamas. Then there are owners who want their yachts to do half way around the world or around the world trips allowing us to meet them in different locations to enjoy those out of the way locations without relocation costs.

The Barrington-Hall Yacht Corporation's staff attend 5-6 annual boat shows around the world and they are Greece, Caribbean, Antigua, Tortola and the US Virgin Islands. Plus we are likely to attend Genoa and the various boats shows in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. 


Almost all these charter boat yacht shows are for yacht charter brokers only and are not open to the public. Our aim is to inspect each charter yacht and we take our own pictures of all cabins, salons dining areas as well as meeting the crew and the captains of all the yachts. Our plan is to spend quality time with each vessel and crew to get to know them and their efficiencies. 

Many of the captains invite us to enjoy meals on board so we can experience what they have to offer our guests and experince first hand their service. After the show we do have a fine idea of who the great teams are. 

Good yacht charter brokers are well informed people who make sure they have the answers for the next year that their guests are likely to ask.

Taking a chance with our guest’s Caribbean Yacht Vacation is not something we intend to do.  There are times when guests call too late to charter and all the better vessels have been booked, so they are forced to accept yachts we normally hold for second time around.  New Year and Christmas weeks are generally such weeks.  Booking for these individual 2 weeks means booking early which is 6-9 months ahead of time.  Any other week and 4-6 weeks is normally fine, but booking early is always the way to go.


Owners look at Christmas and New Year week very differently, some owners are not serious about renting these important 14 days.  These owners instruct their central agent that they want a full 14 days booked or they will enjoy spend the time on their yachts instead for chartering it out.  


An alternative is for guests to have to pay for a mandatory minimum 10 nights over this 14 night period or again the owners might simply enjoy that time themselves. Booking guests a charter during these two weeks can be expensive and when guests request to book New Year after September there is likely to be very few available vessels out there. So charter your yacht vacation early!

A private motor yacht will be one of the most adventure-filled, yet relaxing vacations you may have in your lifetime. We have luxury yachts available in the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mediterranean, Greece and all other charter destinations. Visit us on our WEBSITE
