Just 130 miles east of Puerto Rico you will find the British Virgin Islands - a beautiful archipelago of unique islands in the heart of the Caribbean Sea . It feels like summer all year around her, the sun is always shining and the waters are always warm.

Today a British overseas territory, these beautiful islands have been claimed throughout their history by the Dutch, the Danes, the French, and the British. The capital is Road Town on the main island of Tortola , from where you can go sailing by chartering a catamaran in the BVI and set off on a unique sailing adventure. Also worth visiting is the Virgin Gorda island - home to the Baths, a labyrinth of beachside boulders.

The bulk of the local population lives on the islands of Tortola and Virgin Gorda, while Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, Peter Island, and The Settlement are mostly visited by boating lovers. Cruising through the area you will see multiple islands to discover in this beautiful part of the Caribbean Sea: a catamaran charter in the British Virgin Islands is a must if you want to call yourself a true sailor.

What is included in a catamaran rental in the BVI?

Catamaran rentals in the BVI vary considerably in the builder, length of time, and price of the charter. For those who have a sailing license, bareboat charters are available and for those who don't then you can rent a boat that comes with a captain and even a crew.

It is quite popular to rent a boat through Click&Boat that includes a captain to take care of everything while you enjoy your time out on the water. Many of our listings include added or optional extras too. From snorkeling and diving equipment to jet skis and wakeboards.

When booking with Click&Boat, take advantage of our internal messaging system which allows you to send messages directly to boat owners to talk about itineraries, prices, and extras, and ask any questions you may have. You can also use our expert sailing advisors, ready on deck to help you plan your time on board.

Where to sail during your BVI catamaran charter

We have plenty of catamarans available for rent in the British Virgin Islands for your next yacht charter: find and book your favorite type of boat depending on your wants and needs for your sailing vacation.

Once you're on board your catamaran, it's time to start exploring the islands. One of the best things about sailing in the BVI is that there are so many anchorages to choose from. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax or a lively beach with plenty of bars and restaurants, you'll find it here.

Some of our favorite anchorages in the BVI include:

• The Baths: This unique anchorage is located on Virgin Gorda and is home to huge boulders eroded into natural pools. It's an excellent spot for swimming and exploring, and there's even a beach bar where you can enjoy a rum punch or two.
• Jost Van Dyke: This small island is home to some of the best beaches in the BVI, including White Bay Beach which is renowned for its perfect powdery sand and turquoise water. There are also several beach bars and restaurants, making it the perfect spot to spend a day or two.
• Anegada: This remote island is a haven for snorkellers and scuba divers, with its pristine reefs and crystal clear waters. If you're looking to escape the crowds, Anegada is the place for you.

Whether you're a seasoned sailor looking for a bareboat catamaran charter or a first-time charterer, sailing catamarans in the British Virgin Islands is an experience you'll never forget.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands?

A catamaran charter cost can vary depending on certain factors. Some of these factors include the season in which you decide to charter, the size of the traveling party, and the duration of your charter. During the summer, June through August, yacht rental prices may be a lot lower compared to the BVI's high season during the winter months.

Other factors include the model and age of the catamaran as well as whether you choose to hire a captain or not. So be sure to consider all of these factors when finding your dream catamaran.

A catamaran rental in the BVIs starts at $485 for a full day, for weekly charters expect to pay between $2,500 per week to $6,000 or more, depending on the factors mentioned above.

You can also search for specific catamaran brands on our platform, for example, you can rent a Fountaine Pajot for $953/day.

The harbors in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands offer some of the best sailing spots in the world. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway on your own or with friends and family, the BVI’s are perfect for a catamaran charter. There are many different harbors and marinas where you can dock your catamaran, each offering a unique experience.

Our favorite places to dock your catamaran in the British Virgin Islands:

• The Bitter End Yacht Club - Located on the island of Virgin Gorda, Bitter End Yacht Club is a great place for beginner sailors because it has calm waters and offers all kinds of sailing resources. It also has two restaurants and lots of watersports activities like kayaking and paddle boarding.
• Leverick Bay Marina - This marina is located on Virgin Gorda and has great facilities that include fuel, electricity, water, laundry services, showers, bathrooms, and more. It’s also close to some of the best beaches in the area like Savannah Bay and Prickly Pear Island.
• Nanny Cay Marina - This marina is located on Tortola Island and is one of the most popular spots in the BVI for cruisers because it has plenty of amenities like shops, restaurants, bars, a pool, and more.
• Soper's Hole Marina - Soper's Hole Marina is located on the west end of Tortola Island and is known for its relaxed atmosphere and stunning views of neighboring islands like Jost Van Dyke and St John’s. It also offers yacht services like fuel, water, electricity, and laundry services as well as restaurants and bars where you can relax after a day out on the water.

Here are a few other highly recommended ports and marinas to start your next sailing adventure:

• Road Harbor - The main harbor in Road Town, big enough to also allow cruise ships to visit the island of Tortola!
• Fort Burt Marina & Road Reef Marina - Nearby marinas in Tortola, also make an excellent starting point.
• Leverick Bay Marina, Bitter End Yacht Club Marina, and Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor - All located on the island of Virgin Gorda if you are planning to start your trip there.

Renting a catamaran with or without a skipper

If you're looking to charter a catamaran in the British Virgin Islands, you'll want to consider whether or not you want a skipper to come along with you. A skipper can provide valuable knowledge and expertise, making your charter experience more enjoyable. Additionally, you can also choose to have your sailing vacation be a crewed charter. On the other hand, if you're an experienced sailor, going on a bareboat charter is a great way to have complete control and freedom over your catamaran cruise.

When is the best time to go?

The best time to visit the British Virgin Islands varies. The area's busiest time of year is the winter but September to November can be a great time to visit to avoid the busier season and make the most of lower prices.

Hurricane season is from June to November which is certainly not ideal for sailors. Keen sailors should visit the British Virgin Islands in March when the BVI Spring Regatta is held annually.

Divers should also plan their trip for winter or spring when underwater visibility levels are the best as the summer does not have great visibility.

In regards to the temperature, don't be put off by the thought of it being winter. The reason the British Virgin Islands are so popular in the winter is that even from November to April, the month with the lowest high temperature still peaks at 82°F. It is truly summer all year round in the British Virgin Islands.

Sailing the Virgin Islands: Airbnb & VRBO Catamaran Charters

The idea of sailing in the Virgin Islands might conjure up images of celebrities and private yachts.  But it’s one of the Caribbean’s best secrets that you can sail the Virgin Islands on a catamaran or sailboat from Airbnb and VRBO.  Plus, sailing is the best way to explore the white sand beaches, gorgeous scenery, and snorkeling that make the Virgin Islands famous.  Get advice for choosing a sailing charter, plus hacks for day trippers and solo travelers!

After I did a liveaboard snorkeling trip while traveling solo in Thailand, my family decided they wanted in on the adventure.  But as we considered closer options in the Caribbean, we realized that most were large boats with mixed snorkeling and scuba diving groups.  Soon, though, I hit upon a solution: for about the same per-person cost, we could charter a private catamaran to sail the Virgin Islands.

Experienced sailors can hire a “bare boat” charter, where your group skippers, navigates, and cooks for themselves.  But luckily for those of us that don’t know our leeward from our aft, it’s also possible to charter a boat with a captain and crew.  In this guide I’ll share the easiest way to charter a boat and what to expect, the best sights of the US and British Virgin Islands, and all the tips you need to plan an amazing vacation.

Virgin Islands Sailing Overview & Planning

What to expect sailing in the virgin islands.

How does a totally effortless vacation sound, with your only decisions being when to eat, snorkel, lounge, and drink tropical cocktails?  What about falling asleep to the gentle motions of the boat and sound of waves, then waking up with views of blue sky and turquoise waters from the portals?  

If you choose a Virgin Islands charter with a captain and crew, you can completely relax! It’s common for couples to crew boats together and take care of everything.  If you choose a boat with just a captain, you’ll likely pick up some sailing skills helping out.  And members of your group can pitch in to take turns preparing meals and cleaning up.

For those who haven’t spent much time on a boat, the living space might be smaller than you expect. But you’ll have the ocean and beaches for your playground every day, and can arrange the itinerary to go ashore for dinners at low-key beach restaurants.  In short, pack bathing suits, sunscreen, cover-ups, and casual dresses, and leave the heels at home!  (More packing tips later!)

About the Virgin Islands

Did you know there are actually three different groups of Virgin Islands?  Well, I didn’t, until I took this trip!  The British Virgin Islands are the most popular and well-known.  Made up of over 50 islands, the BVI are some of the least-developed spots in the Caribbean, but their largest islands are renowned as luxury destinations.  The beautiful beaches and party bars of Jost Van Dyke are here, as are the picturesque grottoes of the Virgin Gorda Baths.

Just 20 miles away lie the US Virgin Islands, known as “America’s paradise.”  Its three islands – St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix – each has a different attraction for travelers.  St. Thomas is famed as a luxury getaway, while the island of St. John is ⅔ undeveloped. Still, there are tons of things to do in St. John , including a national park perfect for snorkeling and hiking.  Further south, St. Croix offers colonial history and tours of the Cruzan Rum distillery in addition to spectacular snorkeling.

The Spanish Virgin Islands are actually part of Puerto Rico, so the name is a holdover from when the island belonged to Spain.  In the SVI, you’ll find the unspoiled beaches of Culebra and a bioluminescent bay in Vieques.  Many travelers here say that these islands remind them of the quieter BVI of years past.  

US residents can travel in the USVI and SVI without a passport, but will need one to enter the BVI.

In both the BVI and USVI, there are companies that exclusively provide sailing charter rentals.  If you want a bare boat charter, one of these companies is likely the best option, as they can advise on all the options and considerations for your trip.

However, for a crewed boat, I found that the easiest way to arrange a Virgin Islands charter was to use a site like VRBO or Airbnb.   Both offer online reviews, and their bookings follow the same policies as regular vacation rentals on those sites.  You can also message with the host before you book to ask any questions.

I’ll share more recommended options later in this guide. I always recommend always booking through a reputable company, so that you have assistance should you need it.

How Long Should You Stay in the Virgin Islands?

Depending on the length of your trip and options from your captain, you might be able to see all of the Virgin Islands.  On our one-week Virgin Islands itinerary, we didn’t have time for the Spanish Islands, but easily saw all of the best sights of the BVI and USVI.

Because you spend most of your time on the boat, in the water, or on a beach, you’ll get a lot of sun on this trip!  One week was enough for me, with my fair skin and tendency to turn into a lobster.  If you plan to stretch your trip to 10 or 14 days, just keep this in mind when you plan your itinerary and pack.  You’ll have more time to spend ashore at stops than we did, which will help.

Be sure to read my snorkeling packing list for tips on reef-safe sunscreen, dry bags, UPF clothing and more gear for your trip.

The Best Time to Visit the U.S. and British Virgin Islands

High season in the Virgin Islands is December through April, when most of us are looking for an escape from cold winter weather!  Hurricane season begins in June and lasts until November.  Luckily, sunshine is plentiful year round, with daytime temperatures in the high 80’s and nighttime temps in the 70’s. 

If you can travel in May – June or November – early December, the shoulder seasons, you’re likely to find more availability and cheaper rates.

We traveled at the end of April and the weather was nearly perfect, except for a storm that caused my mom’s flight to be re-routed through Puerto Rico.  Luckily she made it onto a small puddle jumper (complete with bawking chicken sounds coming from the hold!) and met up with us just a few hours late.  The weather for the rest of the trip was picture-perfect.

Check weather averages for your dates from Holiday-Weather.com .

Choosing a Boat: Monohull (Sailboat or Sailing Yacht) or Catamaran

When choosing a boat, you’ll have considerations such as the number of people in your group, the layout of the boat, and your own personal preferences.  Some might want the adventure and experience of a “real” sailboat, while others would prefer a steadier trip with more space and luxuries aboard a double-hulled catamaran.   

While I love the romance and classic adventure of a sailboat, I ultimately prefer a catamaran for a multi-day trip.  They offer more room, usually with a living room between the two hulls.  Double hulls also make catamarans more stable, lessening seasickness and making it easier to walk on the deck.  There’s also netting between the hulls at the front of the boat, which creates an amazing place to relax over the water and watch sunsets!

More luxurious boats have ensuite bathrooms for each cabin; in general, the boats accommodate 2-8 guests.  Be sure to check the layouts of your choices before you book.

What’s Included in A Virgin Islands Sailing Charter?

The short answer: it depends.  Each charter listing will include all the details, and you can also clarify additional points before you book. Some rates include all costs, which makes it easier to evaluate; these usually have a set base price which increases depending on the number of travelers.  There might be watersports equipment included like snorkels, water noodles, and paddleboards, which helps you pack less.

It’s common that “provisions” aren’t included: these are all the food, drinks, and groceries you’ll need.  Provisioning can be arranged through your booking company or captain, or you can shop for it yourself.  We chose to pay our captain to provision his boat, but stopped at a local shop to pick up some extra rum and preferred liquors!

Additionally, there could be other extras such as fuel, water, national park permit, etc.  Be sure to check the details of each listing and clarify any points so you can compare your options.

USVI and BVI Sailing Charter Easy Bookings

These options below all have good reviews as well as availability calendars and online bookings.  Note that if they begin in the BVI, it’s still possible to visit the USVI, and vice versa depending on what you agree on with the captain or host.  The USVI and BVI are only about 20 miles apart – but keep in mind that you will need to bring a passport to travel between the two countries!

Airbnb Sailing Charters

Check out these sailing charters for the US and British Virgin Islands from Airbnb. If you prefer to search for your own options on Airbnb, specify a boat under the “unique stays” option. But keep an eye out for bookings that are only lodging: some boats remain at the dock or don’t include sailing.

VRBO Charters

VRBO is another top vacation rental site, and has many options to book sailing charters in the BVI and USVI . Check some of their best-rated charters including the one my family and I booked, the Guiding Light.

Best Sights for Virgin Islands Sailing

Wondering what the top sights are in the BVI and USVI?  Check out these ideas for your Virgin Islands sailing itinerary.

BVI Top Sights | Sights for Sailing in the British Virgin Islands 

The baths on virgin gorda island.

The huge, smooth grey boulders and clear turquoise waters of The Baths are one of the most-recognizable sights of the BVI.  This national park is a must-see spot for Virgin Islands sailing.  Swim in from the bay to snorkel and explore the grotto and calm pools. You can hike from the top of The Baths to the picturesque Devil’s Bay, at Virgin Gorda’s southwestern end.

Jost Van Dyke

The smallest of the four main islands of the BVI, Jost van Dyke is rumored to have been named for a Dutch pirate that used the island’s harbours as a hideout.  The island is accessible by ferry service and private boats, as well as cruises that dock and shuttle passengers ashore.  White Bay is a gorgeous white sand beach with many bars like the Soggy Dollar, home of the famous Painkiller cocktail.  On the east side of the island, visit the Bubbly Pool, a natural jacuzzi formed by waves rushing over the rocky shore.  At the Great Harbor, have dinner and drinks at Corsairs restaurant and popular Foxy’s bar.  Nearby, hike and snorkel at Sandy Cay, a tropical deserted island surrounded by a barrier reef.

Soper’s Hole, West End, Tortola BVI

Soper’s Hole in Tortola’s West End is one of the places where you can clear customs and immigration from the USVI to the BVI.  It has a colorful marina with restaurants and shops which are a good spot for souvenirs.  If you need provisions, stop in at Harbour Market.  Be sure to check out Pusser’s Landing, a bar and restaurant which also claims to be the birthplace of the Painkiller! You should definitely try both to see if you prefer theirs or the Soggy Dollar’s. 😉

Cane Garden Bay, Tortola

Cane Garden bay is the most popular beach on Tortola, with calm turquoise waters and a beautiful crescent beach.  Swimming, windsurfing and other water sports are popular here, as well as the lively bars and restaurants that line the beach.  Tour the nearby Callwood Rum Distillery, where they’re producing rum the same way they did 200 years ago.

Norman Island & The Indians

Norman Island is a BVI gem rumored to have inspired the Robert Louis Stevenson classic “Treasure Island.” Snorkel right into the high cliff face at the island’s famous caves which are full of marine life.   Nearby, you can also snorkel on the Indians, a dramatic series of rocks as you approach Norman Island.  The water on one side of the Indians is deep, but the reef is full of colorful coral, sea fans, and marine life.  The Indians are a must-see spot for BVI sailing.  At Norman Island’s protected anchorage area known as “the Bight,” visit local bars and restaurants including the floating bar Willy T’s and Pirates Bight restaurant.

The RMS Rhone is a shipwreck that sank in 1867 during a category 3 hurricane.  Now, the wreck site and surrounding waters are the Rhone National Marine Marine Park.  This is an amazing site for scuba diving, but it’s possible to snorkel as well since the water is very clear.  Much of the vessel is still intact.

Top USVI Sights | Sights for Sailing in the US Virgin Islands

Virgin islands national park, st. john.

Virgin Islands National Park occupies ⅔ of the island of St. John. Many of the beaches are fringed by coral reefs. They include Trunk Bay, with an underwater snorkeling trail including guide signs with information on the coral and sealife.  The beach here has been voted one of the most beautiful in the world!  Annaberg Plantation has the ruins of an 18th-century sugar plantation, which visitors can tour to learn more about the plantation’s role in the African slave trade as well as how it produced sugar, molasses, and rum. Trails through tropical forests lead to the ruins of Reef Bay Sugar Mill, in the south.

Cinnamon Bay Beach, St. John

Cinnamon Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches within the National Park. It’s the longest beach on St. John, with a half mile of white sand plus palm trees and sea grapes for shade.  Snorkelers can explore the small cay located less than 100 yards off the shoreline. This beach is still recovering from Hurricane Irma, and doesn’t have any restaurants.

Buck Island, off St. Croix

Off the coast of St. Croix lies uninhabited Buck Island, 175 acres of protected land surrounded by 19,000 acres of the Buck Island Reef National Monument. The barrier reef is a nesting area for three species of sea turtles, and also has an underwater trail through coral and sea fans.

Leinster Bay & Waterlemon Cay, St. John

Waterlemon Cay is tiny island in Leinster Bay, and a top snorkeling spot on St. John with many species of coral, fish, and marine life.  A strong current sometimes runs on the north side of the cay, so use caution snorkeling there.  On the south side, find longspine sea urchins, many fish, and hard and soft corals.  This was another of my favorite snorkeling spots on our trip!

Salt Pond Bay, St. John

Salt Pond Bay has a beautiful crescent shaped beach with calm, clear waters.  This is a more secluded beach, as it’s further from tourist spots, and also a quarter mile hike from its parking lot.  Salt Pond Bay is one of the top snorkeling locations on St. John, and has access to hiking trails that provide views of the island. 

Maho Bay, St. John

Maho Bay is a popular spot to see sea turtles. The seagrass beds in the middle of the shallow bay provide a habitat for the green sea turtles.  There are also reefs at the eastern and western ends of the shore with hard and soft corals and many tropical fish species.

Sandy Point, St. Croix

Sandy Point is a pristine beach on the southwestern tip of St. Croix that is also a national wildlife refuge.  If it looks familiar, it was featured in the movie “The Shawshank Redemption.”   The 400-acre reserve is a habitat for leatherback sea turtles.  Since it’s a wildlife reserve, there are no beach bars or services here – just uninhabited beaches.

Magens Bay, St. Thomas

Beautiful Magens Bay is one of the most popular beaches in the USVI, with a mile-long stretch of sand with calm clear waters.  It’s known as a spot for snorkeling with sea turtles as well as paddleboarding and other water sports.  Relax at the beach bar and restaurant  for a drink and a snack.

Getting to the Virgin Islands for a Sailing Charter

Us virgin islands airports, ferries and taxis.

There are two major airports in the Virgin Islands: Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas (STT) and Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix (STX).  Most charters start from St. Thomas.  

Check flights to St. Thomas STT | Check flights to St. Croix STX

There is a ferry that runs from St. Thomas and St. John between Red Hook and Cruz Bay .

At the airport, exit to find a taxi stand outside.  Taxis are priced per person based on your destination.  Many run like a shuttle, in a large van with other travelers.  Get an idea of rates and destinations here .

If you’d like to pre-book a private transfer, here are some options with online bookings and good reviews:

British Virgin Islands Airports & Transportation

There are two ways to get to the British Virgin Islands. The first is to fly directly to Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Tortola (EIS), formerly Beef Island Airport. The second way is to fly to Cyril E. King airport in St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands (STT) and then take a ferry to Tortola, BVI.  Most charters in the BVI depart from Tortola.

• St Thomas to Tortola Ferry

Inter-Island Ferries

There are many ferry services within the Virgin Islands . 

What to Pack for Your Virgin Islands Sailing Charter Vacation

As I mentioned before, a sailing vacation is very casual!  I recommend packing at least 2 bathing suits as well as a rashguard shirt with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) to protect you from the sun.  If you’re an avid snorkeler, you might even want UPF capris so that your backside doesn’t get burnt (true story) . A dry-bag is a must-have for trips ashore.

Also, there won’t be much room onboard, so be sure to bring a soft-sided bag rather than a regular suitcase.  Get my full packing list for snorkeling trips and liveaboard adventures and check out my list of favorite gear .

More Recommended Gear for Your Trip

Safety note: uscg approved life jackets for kids.

Your charter will surely provide life jackets for all passengers, but it’s especially important for children to have a life jacket (or personal flotation device – PFD) that is meant for their age, size and weight and approved by the US Coast Guard (USGC).  USGC ratings specify that jackets for infants and small children should have a padded head support, grab handle, and crotch strap to keep it from riding up (and the child from slipping out). 

Get more info here and tips from REI including getting kids used to jackets ahead of time at home.  Note: water wings, float suits, and similar items are meant for supervised play.  US law requires that children under 13 years of age must wear their lifejacket, unless below deck.

YOUR TIME IS VALUABLE, DON'T WASTE A MINUTE OF IT!

BEAUTIFUL NEW BOATS, IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE, AND FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF

Virgin Islands Yacht Charters directly manages the charter fleet.  We are not a broker.  We do work with many reputable and trustworthy charter brokers who regularly book our boats and are familiar with our procedures and knowledgeable of the local cruising grounds.  At the same time, there are many brokers out there who know absolutely nothing about our fleet OR even the Virgin Islands themselves.  Please be aware. 

Catamarans are wonderfully spacious and provide ample area for moving around.  Whether it is in the cockpit or salon which spans over both hulls allowing for a larger area inside, the foredeck with the trampoline  for sun-tanning, or the great lounging area on the top deck you will enjoy the variety of ways to spend your day on the water.  Cats are much more stable than their counterparts which can be much better for new or inexperienced sailors who haven't quite found their sea legs yet or those who are prone to seasickness.   Two engines allow for greater maneuverability when in a marina or picking up mooring balls and thus, have gained popularity in recent years.  And, you will love the panoramic views!

What People Are Saying . . .

The Osborn Family

VIYC was one of the best charter companies we've used. They keep their word and honor their promises. They promptly fix stuff and immediately talk us through solvable problems. They know the boat, the waters, and sailing area, the culture.

Scuby's operations briefing was one of the best I've attended in my years of chartering.  

                                                                                                                                       ~Fred Osborn

I had the pleasure of chartering a yacht from Virgin Islands Yacht Charters out of Compass Point, St Thomas.  I have chartered numerous yachts over the years; as well as operated by own charter sailing yacht for five years.  Kristi and Jim, the owners, do an outstanding job of assuring the yacht is ready to go and in top shipshape.  Any follow up or support if needed is prompt and efficient.  I highly recommend Virgin Islands Yacht Charters.

Al Dugan & Family

Fun at The Baths

Jim & Kristi,

Thanks so much for completing our experience. Our past charter experiences in the BVI were a mixed bag of paradise, apathetic service, and mechanically challenged yachts. God made the islands beautiful, you two made sailing them a pleasure by providing friendly service and an excellent line of yachts. This experience felt less like a charter and more like borrowing a great boat from old friends. 

We’ll be back…                                                                                          ~Rev. Seth Sundstrom

Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

• Your Responsibility . By booking a Charter with Broker, you agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your breach of these Terms or the documents referenced herein; (ii) your violation of any law or rights of a third party; or (iii) your use of the Broker website.

You will review your Charter Agreement and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt. You understand that it is your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in the Charter Reservation provided to you, and that you may contact Broker if you have any questions.

You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

You understand that Broker recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency.

• No Warranties . All Charters, products, services, advice and information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied to the fullest extent permitted under the law, including but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Without limiting the above, no warranty or guarantee is made (i) regarding the acceptance of any reservation request or Charter Reservation; (ii) regarding the availability of Charters, or any other product and/or services through Broker; (iii) that the use of Broker’s website will be error-free; or (iv) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability or quality of any information, content, data, service, advice or merchandise provided by Broker or through Broker’s website.

Broker has no special knowledge regarding the Charter Provider’s or Charter Supplier’s financial condition, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel during or otherwise in connection with your Charter.

• Limitation on Liability . In no event shall Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and/or their respective affiliates, or any employees, agents, officers, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing (“Broker and Charter Releasees”), be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, your access to, display of or use the Broker’s website, the Charter or services provided to you in connection with the Charter (including, but not limited to, your reliance upon opinions of the Broker), whether based on a theory of negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if Broker and/or any other of the Broker and Charter Releasees have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the limitation above, Broker or the Broker and Charter Releasees are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Supplier and the Broker and Charter Releasees will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the Broker Fee, and (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US $100.00).

The foregoing limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of Broker and/or its providers.

The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

• Limitation on Time to File Claims . ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO BROKER’S SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
• Waiver . No waiver by Broker of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Broker to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
• Severability . If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
• Governing Law and Mandatory Venue . The laws of the State of Florida govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof. You agree that any action or proceeding initiated by Charterer against Broker shall be brought solely in the federal and state courts of Hillsborough County, Florida, and you submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over you by those courts. In the event any action or proceeding is initiated by Charterer in a court outside of Hillsborough County, Florida, Charterer agrees to pay Broker’s costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with defending such action or proceeding and waives any and all defenses to the transfer of said action or proceeding, whether jurisdictional or otherwise, to a federal or state court in Hillsborough County, Florida.
