CREW
Dear Guests, I began sailing at the age of eleven, participating in national and international regattas on Optimist, Cadet, Snipe, and sail cruiser vessels. Over the past decade, I have developed a professional career in the maritime industry. My sailing experiences have taken me along the Spanish coast, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, the coast of Portugal, northern Morocco, Corsica, Sardinia, the west coast of Italy, Greece, the Dodecanese, Cyclades, Ionian, Corfu, and Turkey. Additionally, I have completed two Atlantic crossings as a skipper from Spain to the Caribbean and Brazil. I consider myself dynamic, responsible, and professional. Funny person, nature and sport lover. I am committed to continuous improvement, accumulating miles at sea, sharing my passion for sailing, and providing exceptional service with discretion while meeting the needs of shipowners and guests. Safety is paramount in all my endeavors, guiding my meticulous planning and actions onboard. I am very excited to begin this new challenge and have the opportunity to create an unforgettable experience for our future guests.
Dear Guests, I started yachting five years ago, aboard a Lagoon 620 catamaran as a stewardess and deckhand. Since then, I have sailed more than 15,000 nautical miles in different leisure crafts across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean. My roles have included managing the interior departments, provisioning, organizing food, exploring new flavors from around the world to incorporate into my meals, and assisting the captain with maneuvers and watchkeeping. One of the most significant challenges of my life was crossing the Atlantic, which allowed me to solidify my passion for this field. My other passion is cuisine, which my grandmother and mother instilled in me from a young age.I'm enthusiastic about providing healthy, homemade meals, creating menus with minimal processed foods, drawing from my experience in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as some Asian and Mexican dishes. I enjoy innovating in the galley, studying cooking courses and learning the culinary techniques of the countries we visit. My main objective is to continue accumulating miles and knowledge in my career, to train and gain more experience to provide the best service that meets the expectations of owners and guests, and to enjoy all that the sailing world has to offer. Looking forward to meeting you soon
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to charter a yacht in the British Virgin Islands?
The British Virgin Islands offer excellent sailing conditions year-round, but the most popular charter season runs from December through April, when the weather is warm, dry, and the trade winds are at their most reliable. May to July also offers fantastic cruising with fewer crowds, while late summer and autumn can provide exceptional value, although they coincide with the Caribbean hurricane season. We can help you choose the ideal time based on your priorities, whether that's perfect weather, quieter anchorages, or the best charter rates.
Can I start my yacht charter in St. Thomas and cruise to the British Virgin Islands?
Yes. Many crewed yachts offer embarkation in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, before cruising into the British Virgin Islands. This is often the most convenient option, as St. Thomas has significantly more direct international flights than Tortola. However, not every yacht is licensed to operate in both territories, so we'll recommend vessels that have the necessary permits and guide you through the straightforward customs and immigration process.
How do I get to my yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands?
Most international guests fly into Cyril E. King Airport (STT) in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, thanks to its frequent direct flights from major North American cities. From there, you can either take the public ferry to Tortola or arrange a private water taxi directly to your yacht. Alternatively, you can fly into Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on Tortola, although flight options are generally more limited. We'll coordinate your transfers to ensure a smooth arrival.
How far in advance should I book a British Virgin Islands yacht charter?
For the widest choice of yachts, we recommend booking between 6 and 12 months in advance, particularly if you're planning to travel during Christmas, New Year, spring break, or the peak winter season. The most sought-after crewed catamarans and luxury yachts are often reserved many months ahead, while last-minute availability can be limited. Early planning gives you access to the best yachts, itineraries, and pricing.
Do I need sailing experience for a crewed yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands?
Not at all. A crewed yacht charter is designed to be completely effortless. Your professional captain handles all navigation and route planning, while the chef and crew take care of every aspect of your experience, from gourmet dining to water sports and daily service. Whether it's your first yacht charter or your tenth, you can simply relax and enjoy the islands while your crew manages every detail.
Is a crewed catamaran or a motor yacht better for a British Virgin Islands charter?
For most guests, a luxury crewed catamaran is the ideal choice for exploring the British Virgin Islands. Their shallow draft allows them to anchor closer to secluded beaches and protected bays, while their wide beam provides generous outdoor living space, exceptional stability, and outstanding value for families and groups.A motor yacht is better suited to guests seeking higher speeds, greater onboard luxury, or the flexibility to venture beyond the British Virgin Islands to destinations such as the US Virgin Islands or St. Maarten. The right choice ultimately depends on your budget, group size, and the style of holiday you're looking for, and we're happy to help you compare the best options.
