Virgin Island Sailing

Very helpful for a first-time charter experience. Quick response to questions. Highly recommended.

Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable.

This is our 10th charter booked with Casper and Melody's VI Sailing team, and once again, all of you were amazing and made the prep for the trip a pleasure.
Breanna and Lisa... your timely communication, gentle reminders of tasks due, thank you! There's a lot to keep track of and knowing you will be doing that for us provides the reassurance that we'll not miss something.
And Joann... as always, I have no words to commend and recognize your work and the 'special rabbits' you always seem to pull out of your hat, this time arranging the sleep aboard as a result of needing to change our arrival day to the afternoon of 3 June instead of the morning of the 4th when the airline cancelled our 9 am flight on the 4th.
Without all of you, this would be much, much harder and we sincerely appreciate it.

We have relied on Melody's and Casper's team -especially Joann Higgins- exclusively for our charter bookings for almost 15 years -and it has been wonderful... excellent boats, managed amazing diving catches on situations such as last-minute broken boats, flight cancellations requiring booking changes and help with accommodations... you name it, they have covered us.

We have been using VI sailing to book our bareboat charters for several years now. Their knowledge of the charter companies and updated area information are so helpful. We will continue to use them as long as we are traveling.

The staff was very supportive and helpful.

Virgin Island Sailing was extremely helpful in determining our needs for a one week family of 8 vacation aboard a Chartered Private Catamaran in the Virgin Islands and giving us an ideal selection of charters to choose from with Captain and Chef. It was difficult to choose from the amazing possibilities presented, but our selection of the Tedavi, with Captain Harry and Chef Ellie could not have been more outstanding. This was truly one of the most memorable events of our lives. The Tedavi was luxurious with 4 passenger cabins, each with queen bed, private toilet and private shower, though we mostly used the fresh hot water rinse off shower available as you climb the steps from water fun in the Carribean at the stern. Three spacious lounging areas aboard (covered but open air eating/lounging area for 8 maindeck, lounging/viewing area for 8 up top and lounging area up front for 6)...

We have booked through VI Sailing for years and have always had the best experience. The knowledge of the charter companies is spot on and the charter updates are helpful.

it was well organize trip, boat was in very good condition, clean. thank you for your work!

This is the second time we have booked a bareboat, sailboat charter through Virgin Island Sailing, and once again they have exceeded my expectations and been a pleasure to work with. They actually listen to the customer and find exactly the boat are looking for at best price. They have an excellent understanding of the variances between different charter companies and can provide great suggestions if you don't initially know what you are looking for. They will help with route and agenda planning, provisioning, and water toy/dive gear planning as well. The maps and sailing guide provided through the mail is awesome as well and very helpful. I will be continue to use Virgin Island Sailing for future trips as well. Thank you for everything!

Amazing experience all around. Andrew was fantastic helping coordinate everything last minute and answering all questions. The boat was phenomenal, the crew was even better, combined with a dream itinerary, resulted in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'll be working with Virgin Island Sailing again in the future.

Such a great week on Extra Nauti with Captain Noah and Chef Stef. We did all the spots, including a run to Anagada where we explored (Captain Noah was our driver) and chartered a boat to go out to the reef... Amazing. High marks for the Extra Nauti!!

We were on the Ether boat and the layout and space were great for eating, conversation, sailing, sunning, swimming, sleeping...all the things. Chef Nicola Brooks and Captain Christian Ferree were AMAZING. We had the best week - 10/10!

Overall the charter was great.
On the positive: chart briefing was professional and helpful. The boat handlers at base were good. The cruising grounds are very nice.
What can be improved. The boat ‘New Normalsea’ is showing its age. One head had a terrible smell and all indications were either an unidentified leak, or the hoses need to be replaced. This problem made one of the cabins uninhabitable despite cleaning with bleach.
Another head failed on the first day, with the macerator turning, but no suction to empty the bowl. The two people using the head did not put toilet paper down the head. It is possible it was fouled by the previous charterers. But the heads should handle a modest amount of toilet paper. It was probably a failure of a seal due to age. The tech crew came to the boat and replaced some of the hardware. Unfortunately the repair resulted...

The best vacation ever! The best boat we have ever rented. This is our 3rd. Very helpful staff.

I’ve used Virgin Island Sailing for many bareboat charters I’ve booked in the BVI. Joann Higgins is a wonderful coordinator between client and yacht charter company. She does all the work in helping you find the perfect fit vessel for your crew. She is available for any questions you may have.
I highly recommend Virgin Island Sailing ⛵️

Andrew and the team were great getting everything set up and finding us a great boat. We did 5 days on the Princess Milla. It was awesome boat with absolutely awesome crew. Captain Andy was great, Xenia our chef was so good. She brought so much energy to the trip, was an awesome bartender and even better Chef. Her food is soooo good. Lobster, steaks, fish tacos, and much more. Gave out crew mate was great! Highly recommend the Princess Milla and this crew!

I cannot say enough good things about the people that took care of us at Virgin Island Sailing. At the last minute, they bailed us out with a beautiful boat after another charter company cancelled our trip. I have chartered numberous times in the BVI, and this was, by far the best experience I can remember.

The folks at Virgin Island Sailing made booking our trip so much easier! They handled everything and saved us money. We will use them again!

The team at Virgin Island Charters were very helpful from the time of acquiring information all the way through to the end of our charter and everything in between. I have already recommended them to other friends planning charters.

Great experience. Courteous, responsive, comprehensive. I liked how they sent me a cruising guide (retails for $45) ahead of time so I can prepare. I used them twice around 2008 (i.e. they've been around for a while), and once again in 2026 - all 3 were BVI bareboat charters. I'll use them again for my next one.

From inquiry to booking it was a smooth and seamless process. Their team was awesome to work with!

Everything was top notch. Food exceeded our expectations, the boat was incredible, and the crew was over the top excellent. Couldn’t have been any better. Everyone had a great experience. I’d highly recommend this boat and crew to anyone.

This is the second time I've booked thru VI Sailing. They are a terrific brokerage to work with. Our agent, Joann Higgins, is very responsive and attentive. The booking process was very simple. Great team to work with...

We had great time. The boat had a few problems, but nothing we couldn't handle. Your advertisement was misleading about a "water maker" , which the boat does not have. It also says the boat has 220 volts, and it has 110 volts electricity.

It was a pleasure to book our vacation through Virgin Island Sailing. Their team helped us with planning every step of the way. Their response to any questions we had during the process was always quick and helpful. We loved our charter aboard Whiskey Sunset with Capt. James and Chef Phee. Excellent trip!!!

Virgin Island Sailing provided the DYC Reservation in La Paz MX. Thanks to Belen and Nelson at La Paz DYC Reps, our Bali 4.4 Vrancek Catamaran was ready to board 3 hours earlier! My only complaint was the coordinating of our ground transportation pick-up which took much too long with e-mails to verify the cost for 6 Pax! We never mentioned our pick-up airport in La Paz, but rather Cabo Int'l, 2 different prices. This coordination was poor btwn VI Sailing and DYC. Also, the cell phone numbers were not correct to contact the La Pax DYC Office Reps.

Otherwise, with the exception of a few minor considerations for future charters with this catamaran (i.e., like a microwave, oven mitt gloves that work, a better dinghy (falling apart with handholds and oar mount), I was overall pleased with the performance of this 2 1/2 year old catamaran. All these remarks were mentioned in...

Absolutely blown away by the crew, the location, the itinerary which we left up to the crew, and the incredible gourmet food. We are already planning trip 2! Rosie and Adam are seasoned professionals and made the experience more than we ever hoped for. The broker, Amy Krebs, was responsive and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our first BVI charter. 10 stars!

Outstanding, boat was great and both Virgin Island Sailing & Waypoints staff were extremely helpful.

We had the most incredible 5-night trip aboard the One II Love catamaran in the British Virgin Islands! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable.
Captain Thomas was absolutely wonderful — so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. One of our favorite parts was when he would pull out the chart each morning and walk us through the islands we’d be visiting that day. It made the trip feel even more special and personalized.
Chef Lelani was beyond amazing. Every single meal was delicious, creative, and beautifully prepared. She handled our food allergies with such care and attention, and we were blown away by the wide variety of unique, gourmet meals she created throughout the entire trip. We truly looked forward to every meal!
The combination of stunning scenery, outstanding hospitality, and an incredible crew made this a trip we will never forget. We...
