Top Activities to Enjoy on a BVI Yacht Charter with Envy Yacht Charters

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a premier destination for yacht charters, offering crystal-clear waters, stunning islands, and a variety of activities that cater to all interests. Envy Yacht Charters provides luxury yacht experiences that allow guests to explore the best of the BVI. This article highlights the top activities to enjoy while on a BVI yacht charter with Envy Yacht Charters.

Snorkeling and Diving

The BVI is renowned for its vibrant marine life and pristine coral reefs. Snorkeling and diving spots like The Baths on Virgin Gorda and the wreck of the RMS Rhone near Salt Island offer unforgettable underwater adventures. Guests can swim among colorful fish, sea turtles, and fascinating underwater formations.

Snorkeling at The Baths provides an exceptional experience as you navigate through giant granite boulders that create hidden pools and grottos. Diving enthusiasts will find the RMS Rhone shipwreck particularly thrilling, as it is one of the most famous dive sites in the Caribbean, teeming with marine life and historical artifacts.

Island Hopping

One of the greatest advantages of a yacht charter is the freedom to explore multiple islands. Popular destinations include Jost Van Dyke, known for its beach bars and lively atmosphere; Anegada, famous for its secluded beaches and lobster dinners; and Norman Island, rumored to be the inspiration for "Treasure Island." Each island offers unique experiences and picturesque landscapes.

Jost Van Dyke is perfect for those looking to socialize and enjoy the local nightlife. Visit the iconic Soggy Dollar Bar and sip on a Painkiller cocktail while enjoying the beach vibe. Anegada, on the other hand, is a tranquil escape with stunning beaches and the best lobster you'll ever taste. Norman Island invites adventurers to explore its hidden caves and snorkeling spots, believed to hide pirate treasures.

Watersports and Sailing

Yacht charters provide access to a variety of watersports, such as paddleboarding, kayaking, and tubing. Sailing enthusiasts can enjoy the thrill of navigating the waters between islands, taking advantage of the consistent trade winds that make the BVI a sailing paradise. Envy Yacht Charters recommends yachts that offer the best equipment and expert guidance to ensure guests make the most of their time on the water.

Paddleboarding and kayaking allow you to explore the calm bays and discover hidden coves at your own pace. Sailing between the islands is not only exhilarating but also provides a unique perspective of the BVI's beauty.

Relaxation and Luxury

A yacht charter with Envy Yacht Charters offers unparalleled luxury and relaxation. Guests can lounge on deck, enjoy gourmet meals prepared by the yacht's onboard chef, and take in the breathtaking sunsets. The personalized service ensures a stress-free and memorable experience, allowing guests to unwind in style.

The yachts provided by Envy Yacht Charters are equipped with all the amenities needed for a luxurious stay. Imagine starting your day with a sunrise yoga session on the deck, followed by a sumptuous breakfast overlooking the turquoise waters.

As evening falls, savor a gourmet dinner under the stars, prepared to your exact preferences.

Envy Yacht Charters offers charter diving vacations for any type of experienced or novice scuba diver. A day on a private scuba charter, you and your friends can dive when and where you want in luxury. The crewed charter is essentially a floating dive hotel, so you can make it a rewarding and fascinating experience without waiting in lines or worrying about the crowd. 

All-inclusive Caribbean yacht charters are everywhere, but what makes Envy Yacht Charters different from the rest is how we work with your budget and itinerary to make the trip one to remember. We enjoy highlighting this area of the world because it’s extremely tourist-friendly and gives people the chance to easily hop from island to island and experience plenty of different landscapes both above and below the water. You’ll be greeted by thriving marine life as they swim in and out of wreck diving sites. 

Scuba Charters Throughout the Caribbean

A typical day on a yacht can be on your own schedule because a private yacht charter allows you to scuba dive at your own time and pace with whoever you’d like. A private charter yacht typically offers one dive a day, with the option to host a second dive through flexible and custom itineraries.   

Charter yachts typically have onboard dive compressors or plenty of tanks for easy refills throughout your Caribbean adventures. If any new or novice divers are looking for a resort course during their trip, the option to do so is available. A charter yacht is on the bright blue waters of the Caribbean.

Looking for advanced diving certification opportunities during this trip? Envy Yacht Charters offers private yacht charters that can take you and your credentials on the deep dive of your dreams. If you’re a non-diver or have several of them in your traveling group, spending the mornings and afternoon enjoying a local beach, hanging on the yacht with a book, cocktail, or one of the water toys on board is possible. With snorkeling gear, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more, there are lots of ways to enjoy the warm and crystal clear waters throughout the day!

If you’re spending the day on one of the 7,000 different islands in the Caribbean Sea, a popular destination for divers on a charter is the British Virgin Islands because of their unspoiled, calm turquoise waters. It’s perfect for divers to enjoy a day of bright blue ocean water, extensive lush greenery, quiet beaches, and yacht clubs. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, whether it’s fun diving adventures and water sports, to relaxing quiet coves. 

Scuba Charter to the US Virgin Islands

The US Virgin Islands are warm, beautiful, and relaxing—what more could you ask for when it comes to a dive vacation? The three main islands, St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix offer their own unique dive experiences for guests to spend the day on their own schedule. On St. Croix, we recommend soaking up the sun, playing a few games of beach volleyball, and taking a dip in the clear warm waters. Our favorite dive is the Cane Bay Wall, and the Cane Beach shores are the easiest way to access the walls. Spot plenty of sea life and the restored hard and soft coral reefs.  

Charter Diving in the British Virgin Islands 

The British Virgin Islands are close to the airport on Beef Island in Tortola, or accessible if you fly into the nearby island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Once you land, take a ferry or private water taxi to visit one of the most incredible dive sites in the British Virgin Islands. We highly suggest checking out the Wreck of the Rhone while you’re in this enchanting area. As a place to spot turtles, octopi, and morays, this dive also has an enriching historical aspect among the site of the ship. The Wreck of the Rhone is an enticing experience for divers to get face-to-face with a piece of history.

Scuba Charters in the Leewards 

The Leeward Islands are also worth exploring as they are considered to be invigorating and energetic by everyone who travels there. With options to travel to Saint Maarten, St. Barts, and St. Kitts, a cosmopolitan paradise with sophisticated nightlife is definitely one of the top places to go in your luxury yacht charter. After all, luxury charter vacations are about making the trip as personal as possible while surrounded by water as far as the eye can see.

Popular Girls Trip Destinations

Some of the most popular destinations for a luxury girl’s vacation on your all-inclusive charter are the Bahamas, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Greece. What makes them so attractive to yacht charter tourists and visitors is their tropical location, luxurious reputation, and calm, clear waters that make sailing so enjoyable.    

Activities in the Bahamas

Easily the most visited island in the Bahamas is Nassau which boasts crystal clear waters, bright-colored colonial cottages, and the world-famous Atlantis Resort. As a notable attraction in the Bahamas, the island of Nassau provides a variety of activities for groups to enjoy. It’s also the perfect island to anchor a yacht charter and bring out all the water toys. Most yachts come equipped with towable tubes, water skis (for kids and adults), floating toys such as flamingos, mats, islands, unicorns, and noodles, standup paddle boards (SUPs), wakeboards, and snorkel gear. 

If you’re looking for a more unique experience, you can book a short day tour of Nassau that includes a stop at the Atlantis Resort. The tours offered here give you an insider’s look at historical Nassau, local attractions, shopping, nature, and much more. A variety of wine and rum tastings, water sports, and animal encounters are also popular among tourists in Nassau.

Most charters use Nassau as the starting point before heading to the pristine waters of the Exumas. After boarding your yacht and sipping your first glass of champagne, the yacht is underway for approximately 4 hours before you reach Highbourne Cay where you can watch an amazing sunset on your first day of charter. The Exumas offer a chance for you and your gal pals to reconnect, enjoy water sports, and yes - visit the swimming pigs!  

Activities in the USVI’s

The US Virgin Islands are a hot spot for American travelers mostly because they don’t need a passport to visit there. But there are several other reasons your girl’s group may want to book an all-inclusive yacht charter to the USVI’s. From rum tasting on St. Croix and bar hopping on St. John to the white sand beaches of Magens Bay on St. Thomas, the USVI’s provide fun for everyone.

Once you’ve landed in St. Thomas, you and your gals will board the yacht and set sail to St. John. Your first night in the USVI’s will be spent anchored off of the Virgin Islands National Park where if you arrive with enough time, you and your friends can enjoy some of the many water toys available on board before heading to dinner. You can enjoy dinner on your private yacht prepared to your specifications by your own personal chef and afterward head ashore to lively Cruz Bay for some local action. Our bigger motor yachts often have more water toys available such as jet skis, a water slide, sea bobs, efoils, and climbing walls to name a few. 

After cruising by Trunk Bay Beach, you’ll travel through the BVI’s for a few days while making your way back to St. John. Here, you and your friends can go snorkeling or scuba diving off the yacht, take a hike up Ram’s Head, go fishing on the south shore, or go sailing through Coral Harbor. Then enjoy some cocktails and snacks on the flybridge for a truly unique experience.

On your last day in the USVI’s, you and your ladies will be in St. Thomas where you might anchor in Christmas Cove or Buck Island for one last dip in the ocean before heading home.
