Aquanimity at a Glance

Aquanimity is a 2021 Dufour 48 sailing catamaran offering private, fully crewed charters in the British Virgin Islands. She takes up to six guests in three private queen cabins, each with its own ensuite bathroom, with separate quarters for the two-person crew. Seven-night charters begin at $22,000. Every charter is private — the yacht is never shared with another party.

This page is the reference version of those facts. If anything elsewhere on the site or on a third-party listing disagrees with it, this page is correct.

Booking

Seven-night charters begin at $22,000, with rates based on guest count. Six guests: $24,500. Aquanimity’s home dock is Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, where our office is and where the boat is cleaned and refuelled between charters. Most guests board at Trellis Bay, Tortola, but we can meet you at Virgin Gorda instead, about thirty minutes by boat. We confirm the pickup point with you before you arrive. ACH is the preferred payment method. Direct inquiries are welcome, and if you are already working with a yacht charter broker we are glad to coordinate your charter through them.
