The BVI Has So Much More

Beyond the Nine Islands

The famous anchorages are only the beginning. Your Aquanimity charter can be shaped around hidden gems, world-class dive sites, and experiences most visitors never find.

🏝️
Guana Island

A private nature reserve — one of the most biodiverse spots in the entire Caribbean.

Necker Island

Richard Branson's private island, visible from the water — an unforgettable backdrop to any North Sound sail.

🌊
Prickly Pear Island

A hidden gem in North Sound with stunning beaches and Saba Rock right next door.

💦
The Bubbly Pool

Jost Van Dyke's natural Jacuzzi — ocean swells crash through rocks into a wild natural pool.

🐠
Wreck of the Rhone

One of the Caribbean's premier dive sites. The 1867 wreck is extraordinary even for snorkelers.

🪸
Reefs & Additional Wrecks

The BVI sits on one of the richest reef systems in the Atlantic. Endless underwater worlds await.

🎶
Cane Garden Bay

Tortola's most beloved beach bay — calm water, live music at Quito's, cold drinks, and a vibe that makes it hard to leave.

🌅
Trellis Bay

Home to Aragorn's Studio and legendary full moon fire ball parties. A quirky, artsy anchorage right on Tortola's east end.

🦈
Shark Bay & Blonde Rock

Two of the BVI's best dive sites between Dead Chest and Salt Island — dramatic walls, vibrant coral, big marine life.

🏴‍☠️
Dead Chest Island

"15 men on a dead man's chest" — the real pirate island. Dramatic cliffs, great snorkeling, and serious BVI history.

Your charter is yours to design. These are ideas, not constraints. Tell the captain what excites you and he'll chart a course that makes it happen.

Thank you both for an amazing adventure. Your captain skills are what I'd expect of someone three times your age, and Nikita's cooking was top notch — we didn't even want to eat anywhere off the boat.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You made sure everything was perfect and we loved it all. The NYE drone show at Necker Island was unbelievable — you set us up perfectly. We will recommend you to all our friends.

My family of six sailed on Aquanimity over Christmas 2024. The meals were truly spectacular — insane plating, cooked to our dietary preferences. Gino and Nikita gave my family a 15/10 Christmas. Do yourself a favor and choose them.

Forever in our hearts and minds. Our teenage girls had adventures at every port. We followed their itinerary to the dot — The Baths, the Bubbly Pool, the Soggy Dollar. Gino and Nikita know all the right locals. We will do this again — no doubt.

By far the best vacation ever. They welcomed us like family. Uno and Clue games, jumping off the boat, dinghy rides, and the best snorkeling ever. Nikita is a top chef. We cannot thank them enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aquanimity sleeps up to 6 guests across 3 private cabins. For larger groups, we can arrange sister ships to sail alongside as a private flotilla. Contact us for details.
Each of the 3 guest cabins has a private queen or double bed, its own ensuite bathroom, and storage space. They're compact but comfortable — think of a well-designed camper van. Most guests are surprised by how much they love waking up at anchor in a new bay every morning.
That's entirely up to you. Popular stops include Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Spit, Saba Rock, Oil Nut Bay, and Peter Island. The captain works with you each day to shape the route.
Included: the boat, your captain and crew, all meals cooked onboard, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and mixers, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, beach towels, bath towels, toiletries, and all fuel. Not included: alcohol, specialty add-on experiences, and meals eaten ashore. See our pricing page for full details.
None at all. The captain handles everything — you simply show up and enjoy. Guests who want to help sail are always welcome to take the helm.
Yes. We've hosted engagements, weddings, corporate retreats, yoga sessions, and big celebration charters. Special events need advance planning. Reach out early and we'll make it happen.
The BVI charter season runs November through July. Peak season (December–April) brings the most reliable trade winds and clearest water. Summer charters (May–July) offer fewer crowds and often better rates. We don't charter during hurricane season (August–October).
Yes. Many charters include stops in the USVI — St. John is particularly popular. However since this is a BVI charter the guest would be responsible for all customs and clearance fees and paperwork required to cross the international border.
Peak weeks — Christmas, New Year's, spring break — book 6–12 months out. For most other dates, 3–6 months is typical. We occasionally have last-minute openings. Reach out anytime.
