Professional Captain
Your captain handles sailing, navigation, anchoring, docking, routing, weather awareness, and day-to-day yacht operations throughout your charter.
Private Chef
Your onboard chef prepares meals and snacks based on guest preferences, dietary needs, and the style of charter experience you want.

Standard Ship’s Bar
Standard beverages and ship’s bar are included. Premium wines, top-shelf liquors, or specialty requests may be arranged separately.
Snorkel Gear
Snorkeling gear is available aboard so guests can enjoy reefs, caves, and clear-water snorkeling stops throughout the British Virgin Islands.
Water Toys
Aquanimity includes paddleboards, floating mats, and beach equipment for relaxing, swimming, and exploring calm anchorages.
Towels, Linens & Toiletries
Beach towels, bath towels, linens, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and basic onboard comforts are provided so guests can pack lighter.
Itinerary Planning
Your crew helps personalize your route around snorkeling, beach bars, quiet anchorages, dining ashore, family activities, and favorite BVI destinations.
What destinations can be included during a BVI catamaran charter?
Aquanimity primarily sails throughout the British Virgin Islands, with popular itinerary stops often including Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, Cooper Island, Peter Island, Anegada, Saba Rock, Marina Cay, Sandy Spit, and other protected anchorages throughout the Virgin Islands.
What is not typically included?
Some premium or optional requests may carry additional costs, including fine wines, top-shelf liquors, specialty provisioning, scuba diving, fishing charters, massage services, e-foiling, yoga instruction, marina dockage outside normal itinerary planning, and select excursions.
Is crew gratuity included?
Crew gratuity is not included in the base charter rate. In the yacht charter industry, gratuity is customary and commonly based on guest satisfaction and the level of service provided during the charter. Many crewed yacht charter guests use 15%–25% of the charter rate as a general planning range.
Guests working with a professional yacht charter broker may also ask their broker for current gratuity guidance. The Charter Yacht Brokers Association International is a respected professional association within the yacht charter industry.
Why does “included” matter on a crewed yacht charter?
A fully crewed BVI catamaran charter combines accommodations, transportation between islands, meals, water activities, local knowledge, and personalized service into one seamless vacation experience. This is one reason many guests choose a private catamaran charter instead of a resort or cruise.
