British Virgin Islands yacht charter booking procedures

Making your boating holiday reservation is very simple. Once you have decided which sailboat, catamaran or power boat you would like to hire, and have established availability in the BVI for your vacation dates, an option* will be placed on the boat for you.

*Note: An option is a tentative booking which is usually held for 2 to 5 days, allowing time for you to book your flights and send your deposit payment. The duration of your option is dependant upon how soon your dates are coming up and the individual charter company policies.

Once an option has been placed on the yacht:

You will be required to sign a contract and return it to the bareboat company in the British Virgin Islands by fax or messenger.
You will fill out a sailing resume which outlines your sailing or boating experience and any prior charter experience. Any boating related courses you (or your designated captain) may have taken should be noted. (Form will be supplied)
A 50% deposit is required to confirm your reservation. Your deposit must be received within 7 days of placing the option on the boat. The balance of your charter fee is due and payable 45 to 60 days prior to arrival depending upon yacht selection.

Insurance:

A non refundable premium of $30.00 to 50.00 per day covers damage to the boat except in the case of intoxication or gross negligence plus a $400.00, $750.00 or $1,000.00 refundable deposit (depending upon which boat you have chosen) to cover the loss or damage of the boat, its equipment, dinghy and outboard motor.

Cancellation Policy

You may cancel subject to the following charges:

Written notice must be sent to the company of your intention to cancel your reservation.
Should you cancel 90 or more days prior to the commencement of your charter, you will receive a full refund less a $200.00 to 300.00 administration fee depending upon which company you are booked with. Note: We at Bareboats BVI do not charge anything for our brokerage services in the event of a cancellation.
Should you cancel 46 to 89 days prior to the commencement of your vacation a forfeiture of 50% of the charter fee will be assessed. 61 to 89 days for all charters aboard any Voyage catamarans.
Cancellation within 1 to 45 days (TMM, Horizon & Virgin Traders) and 1 to 60 days (Voyage Charters) prior to your arrival will result in forfeiture of all fees paid.
