How Much Does a BVI Charter Actually Cost?

We'll give you the honest number — and show you exactly what's inside it. No broker fees, no vague "starting from" nonsense. Just a flat rate for your whole crew.

A crewed BVI catamaran charter on Aquanimity starts at $22,000 for 7 nights — all-inclusive for up to 6 guests. That's every meal, every drink, every water toy, all the fuel, and all the dockage. One number. Nothing added later.

The Numbers

What You'll Pay

We price by the week and the boat — not per person. The more people you bring, the better value it becomes.

Crew Gratuity · Guest Discretion
15–20%

Customary in the charter industry. Captain Gino and Chef Nikita give everything — guests who love their experience typically show it. Never required, always appreciated.

$3,300–$4,400 on a $22K charter is typical

Additional Nights
Available

Extra nights can be arranged based on availability and are priced accordingly. A 10-night Grand BVI Loop is also available — ask us for details.

Pricing varies — contact captain directly

Rendezvous Experiences
Optional

Scuba diving, eFoiling, yoga, massages, and live music can be arranged through third-party operators at select BVI stops. These are the only extras not in the base rate.
