“ The best safari of the wild Pacific! Blue skies and sunshine kicked off from day one and never stopped. This is such an amazing part of the world, and having a opportunity to see it aboard the Pacific Yellowfin was next level!!! From black bears (and cubs!) to spirit bears to grizzlies to whales and beyond – we will never forget the five days roaming around the Great Bear Rainforest. Thank-you to the crew – we couldn’t have asked for a better guide, better chefs or better company! This trip is one for the storybooks. ” Gudewill Family

“ Captain and Crew, Thank you yet again for an awesome adventure. You must have superpowers or a super inside line with mother nature, to be able to give us this amazing connection with the Great Bear Rainforest and all its wonderful residents every single day. Add amazing food, lots of great stories and laughter, and it has again been the best holiday we could have imagined! We look forward to seeing you all again next year! ” L&R Birchall

“ Experience of a lifetime! Holidays will never be the same again if this is the standard. Captain Colin made an extraordinary effort on a daily basis to make sure everyone’s desires came true. Orcas, dolphins, scooter rides, hiking, bears, clam digging, oyster harvesting, high-speed runs through the rapids. We are still pinching ourselves to make sure this wasn’t a dream. Unbelievable! ” Caven Family

Book a Canada yacht charter with Borrow a Boat and see the country in all its awesome beauty on a sailing holiday to remember. With your boat hire in Canada you'll encounter some of the world's greatest wildernesses, wildlife as well as its array of great towns and cities.

Much of Canada's mainland and islands are untouched by man, yet the towns, cities and settlements live comfortably side by side some of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

There are three broad sailing areas where it comes to a Canada yacht charter. Most popular is British Columbia on the west coast, centred on Vancouver. Here you will see land and marine life that you'll be lucky to see anywhere else on the planet from orcas and great whales to bald eagles and black bears.

A less well known charter destination, though no less an exciting sailing area, is the Bay of Fundy centred on Halifax, Nova Scotia. One end of the Great Circle route from North America to Europe, there is a deep maritime tradition here that sits with over 10,000 miles of coastline and inlets. The tides and weather are challenging but the rewards are every bit worth it.

Ontario sits on the Great Lakes, and out of Toronto you can explore the second biggest body of freshwater in the world (after Lake Baikal in Russia). In some places like Georgian Bay, the water is so fresh you can drink it straight out of your hands while enjoying this huge waterway and its unique sailing conditions as you go.

The three major cities we'll look at - Toronto, Vancouver and Halifax - are buzzing cosmopolitan centres yet the towns and settlements outside are laid back and fun. Though on many sailing holidays you will go for the sun, sea and sand, from the fjords and mountains to the islands and wildlife, a Canadian boating holiday is as much about exploration as it is the simple things in life.

Hiring A Yacht In Canada

On a skippered or crewed yacht charter in Canada, you will turn up at the dock, meet the skipper, pay your remaining fee and off you go.

On a bareboat yacht charter you will have to present your sailing credentials to the charter company or boat owner, sign the paperwork and inspect the yacht. In the sailing season, sailing conditions can be challenging but if you have an ASA 104 or RYA Day Skipper you should have enough experience to enjoy sailing in Canada without too much stress.

Getting to Canada

From Europe there are direct flights to Vancouver for a western Canada yacht charter. Depending on the location of your charter base you can make arrangements to go by ferry and car to the marina.

For a Great Lakes yacht charter you will fly from Europe direct to Toronto and take a taxi or bus down to the marina from there.

If flying from Europe, a Nova Scotia yacht charter will require a change of planes at Toronto and a flight onward to Halifax. From there you can take a taxi or bus to the charter base.

Best Areas To Charter

Broadly there are three areas of Canada you can rent a boat with Borrow a Boat.

British Columbia

The islands and mainland of Western Canada is the most popular charter destination in Canada. Go whale watching and explore the Sunshine Coast of Vancouver Island. See the high mountains and fjords of Desolation Sound as well as the settlements of Powell River and the Gulf Island archipelago - island cruising at its best! You will encounter all manner of wildlife and marine life, and soon come to love the almost unrivalled sailing in this beautiful area of the world.

Bay of Fundy

Just north of the state of Maine in the USA, the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia is renowned for having the biggest tidal range in the world. Though ice free year round, there is a relatively short sailing season but when Nova Scotia wakes up from its winter slumber it comes alive with a buzz! Great sailing, beautiful coastlines and beaches, as well as the vibrant city of Halifax that has played a long role in Canadian maritime history.

Great Lakes

Out of Toronto you can explore these vast inland lakes that are connected to the Atlantic via the St Lawrence Seaway and Niagra Falls. Sailing isn't like a smaller lake like Lake Geneva - expect seas of up to four feet in some conditions - but again, you will get to see Canada's southern boundary from a unique and interesting angle. Often mistaken for the country's capital, Toronto is as fun a city as you will find anywhere else in the world.

Best Cities to Charter a Yacht in Canada

Vancouver is a vibrant and fun city just north of the US border in western Canada. From here you can enjoy a British Columbia yacht charter including Vancouver Island and the Strait of Georgia.

On the eastern side of Canada, the capital of Nova Scotia is close to many charter bases for exploring the Bay of Fundy and the US Northeast.

For a Great Lakes yacht charter, Toronto is a major city on Canada's southern boundary where you can sail Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and Lake Huron within a 7-14 day sailing holiday.

Types Of Yachts To Hire

There are three broad types of charter - bareboat charter, flotilla charters, and crewed yacht charter. Where it comes to the types of charter boat you can hire a motor boat , a monohull sailing yacht , catamaran , superyacht or luxury yacht charter and RIBs or day boats. Each have their benefits.

Motor yacht

Motor boats taken on a bareboat basis can cost as little as $500 a day if they have sleeping accommodation - much less if they are day boats.y boat and can be hired for as little as $110 a day for fishing trips or just blasting about the bay. The 15 metre plus size of motor yach t will have cabins and often en suite heads and cost upwards of $400 a day.

Starting at as 'little' as $10,000 a day a superyacht charter will come with skipper and crew as part of the package. On the crewed motor yacht or sailboat you will be treated like kings and queens on your personal mini-cruise-ship that will often come with tenders and toys such as jet skis and even sailing yachts!

Luxury Yacht Charter

Coming with or without skipper and/or crew, a luxury charter yacht will cost upwards of $700 a day and will come fully fitted out with all the modern conveniences and comforts of the very best sailing craft afloat. Expect en suite heads and comfortable staterooms but also a lot of fun under sail!

Starting at $450 a day, catamarans are luxury yachts that offer lots of space, a fair lick of speed on a reach and a shallow draft for mooring close into shore. They have twin engines in the hulls so while large they are incredibly manoeuvrable when in marinas and so forth.

Monohull Sailing Yacht

Ranging in size from 10 metres up to 20 or so, monohull sailing yachts form the backbone of the Canada yacht charter industry. Very good to windward, you will find yourself chewing up the miles at all points of sail without relying on the engines. Costing as little as $120 a day you will enjoy comfort and fun for a good budget price.

Crewed Yacht charter or Bareboat?

Where it comes to a Canada yacht charter you have two choices - bareboat or crewed yacht charter. Both have their own advantages.

Crewed charter

No sailing qualifications or not confident enough to bareboat charter yourself? That's no problem when it comes to yacht charter - you can take on a skipper and crew for the week or two touring Canadian waters! With a crewed yacht charter you have someone aboard who knows the ropes and the best places to visit on your sailing holiday. They will know the best spots for what you want, be it hideaway restaurants or the best hiking and diving to be found! Costing as little as $100 a day (depending on the size and type of vessel) you will get the very best from your yacht charter holiday with one aboard. Don't forget the tip at the end of the week!

Bareboat yacht charter

A competent sailor? Have the qualifications required? Dreaming all year of casting off and exploring the Canadian mainland and islands with just you and your friends? A bareboat charter is just the thing for you. This is cheaper than a skippered yacht charter but you also get the privacy of being in your chosen group without a stranger in your midst. You get to choose your own adventure and go at your own pace - not a bad thing for a holiday to recharge your batteries ahead of rejoining the rat race...

Do you need a licence to charter in Canada?

If you want to bareboat charter you will need an approved boating qualification, below is a list of relevant qualifications:

International Certificate of Competence (ICC): Standard European Qualification for bareboat sailing

ASA 104 Bareboat certificate : The American Sailing Association's skipper standard qualification for hiring bareboatyachts.

RYA: The Royal Yachting Association's qualifications (minimum Day Skipper level) is necessary for bareboat hire, it's also worthwhile seeing do you need to have done a VHF radio course as well as some private yacht owners will require this.

There are also many other European national boating qualifications that are accepted here too, it's worthwhile checking these details before hiring.

If you want a skippered boat rental as a charter yacht then you don't need any sailing certification at all, you just turn up and off you go.

Best Times To Hire

Generally speaking, May to September are the best sailing months in southern Canada. Winter hits the country hard with the Great Lakes freezing up and very bad weather in the off-season.

In Nova Scotia, if you can get sailing in September or October, while the weather can be difficult at times the colours of the forests in Fall are world reknowned.

The Great Lakes are better done in July and August when the waterways are awash with yachts and boats, though in June and July it is quieter - thanks in part due to biting insects!

The busiest time for charter companies in Western Canada is July and August but this is nowhere as bad as more tropical charter destinations.

If you can rent a boat outside of school holidays you will find the marinas quieter and the prices cheaper. This would put May or June the best times across Canada.

The Climate

Unless you're into ice yachting, you'll want to do a Canada yacht charter between May and September!

Around Vancouver Island between May and September the winds are generally easterlies and never much above a F5-6. Expect rain but 70mm a month is not horrendous. Temperatures are a comfortable 18-25 degrees C.

Nova Scotia does see fog and westerly gales through the year. Generally speaking in high summer, the winds die down to a F3-4 and the temperatures sit at a comfortable 20-25 degrees C.

The Great Lakes are subject to continental weather. This can mean temperatures in the 30s Celsius in summer and thunderstorms - even waterspouts. That said the weather is generally benign in the summer months. Do keep an eye on the 24 hour weather forecast as it can change in a heartbeat from hot and comfortable to windy and freezing.

How much does it cost for a Canada Charter

There's almost a yacht for every budget when it comes to chartering. For US $120 a day - $840 a week - you can take a sailboat monohull out with five other adults. That is going to be cheaper than a week in a hotel for everyone.

Catamarans cost a lot more - expect to pay anything from $500 to $2,000 a day depending on the season.

Motor boats taken on a bareboat basis can cost as little as $500 a day if they have sleeping acommodation - much less if they are day boats.

RIBs can cost as little as €50 for an afternoon.

In each of the examples above you can take on a skipper starting at $150 a day depending on what the vessel is and their required qualifications to sail it.

Superyachts and luxury yachts are a different league - expect to pay $15,000 a day and up to $100,000 a day if your budget can manage it.

Explore Canada By Renting A Yacht

Canada in all its varied faces is a country you could spend a lifetime exploring by sea, and enjoy every moment. From its wild western mountains and islands to its challenging east coast, the country isn't just a jewel as far as yachtchartering goes - but many! Whatever you want from a sailing holiday, you are likely to find it without the crowds that can overwhelm more popular sailing destinations.

Is Yacht hire in Canada Legal?

Canada's yacht charter industry is legal and regulated by the relevant authorities.

What kind of Yachts can I hire in Canada?

You can hire everything from a small motor boat to a large superyacht. Monohull sailing yachts are common, though catamarans are more comfortable and spacious metre for metre.

What should I consider when hiring a Yacht?

Your budget for the sailing holiday should come first. Travelling - both getting there and what destinations to explore. What do you enjoy on a yacht charter? Work out your itinerary from there. Who are you taking with you and what are your limitations as a sailor?

What are the best times to hire a Yacht in Canada?

The sailing season between May and September is short thanks to its latitude. That said, if you can do your sailing holiday outside the school holidays in June or October you will find the marinas less busy and charter prices lower.

Do you have to pay a deposit when hiring a Yacht in Canada?

There are two deposits to consider. Firstly you will normally have to pay a 50% deposit on booking. This secures your trip. On arrival you will have to pay a refundable security deposit for the trip on your credit card though you can get yacht charter insurance - though non-refundable this can be cheaper.

What happens if my Yacht breaks down?

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to/are on a mooring you will be able to phone a number given by the yacht charter company.

What should I think of before I hire a Yacht in Canada?

Do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter you want to book? Where do you want to go? Bring warm clothing but prepare for cold weather anywhere you sail here.

Do I need a visa to visit US Canada?

If you are from a North American, Oceania or European country you shouldn't normally require a visa to sail in the Canada. Check with your US Embassy if unsure.

Frequently asked questions

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

​You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the yacht hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company.

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the yacht charter or boat hire before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool on most evenings.

If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. For small 'day boats' or if you choose to have a skippered on board your yacht charter you typically don't require licences.

Georgian Bay North Channel is a large northeastern extension of Lake Huron separated from Lake Huron by Manitoulin Island and by the Bruce Peninsula and forms part of the old voyageur’s trading route from Montreal to the northwest. Georgian Bay is also home of the world renowned 30,000 Islands, which harbour unlimited possibilities for sailing Georgian Bay, overnight anchorages, stretching from Parry Sound to Midland, Ontario.

At the South end of the Bay, there are hundreds of great anchorages within close proximity from our Charter Base. Most notably, Beausoleil Island, a National Park of Canada, has many secluded anchorages with sandy beaches and many miles of hiking trails to explore the Island and its wildlife. These near-by anchorages are ideal for Full-day, Half-day, Weekend, and Overnight charters.

The well marked Small Craft Channel meanders all around Georgian Bay providing thousands of protected places to anchor along its route. As an alternative to traversing the Small Craft Channel, guests can enjoy sailing Georgian Bay on its open waters making it an exhilarating experience.

Did you know Georgian Bay….

• Is truly a unique Canadian fresh water paradise often designated as the Sixth Great Lake. It is the most pristine of all the Great Lakes and supports biodiversity and importrant wetland habitat.
• Has two United Nations (UNESCO) designated Biosphere Reserves – the Bruce Peninsula and the 30,000 Islands which is the largest archipelago in the world.
• Is Canada’s only Fresh Water ECO Museum (the Georgian Bay Eco Museum). It covers 15,000 sq. km. and is home to three Canadian National Parks and sixteen Ontario Provincial Parks.

NORTH CHANNEL (MANITOULIN ISLAND):

The North Channel of Lake Huron encompasses the northern shores of Manitoulin Island to the southern shores of the mainland. It is recognized as a boater paradise by many boating magazines and boating elite, with over thousands of islands and countless secluded coves, bays and inlets. Towns, marinas and resorts dot the vast stretches of wilderness shoreline in one of the top five freshwater sailing areas of the world. This trip introduces guests to North Anmerica’s only fjord, Baie Finn, a ten-mile long fjord surrounded by solid white quartzite of the Cloche Mountain range that is one of the oldest ranges on the planet. It extends from Mt. McBean in the West, to Killarney Provincial Park in the East.

The Cloche Mountain range was once as high as the Rocky Mountains. Over millions of years of erosion, all the other rocks have weathered away thus exposing the solid white quartzite rock. One million years ago, the ice age, advancing and retreating four times over, scoured the quartzite peaks, stripping them of soil, grinding and scarring their surfaces, and leaving behind sand, gravel, and boulders.

The North Channel is also home of the world famous Benjamin Islands, where some of the oldest rocks on earth have been dated. The many islands of pink granite rocks combined with the cluster of the white quartz mountain range makes for breathtaking landscapes that inspired the Group of Seven painters.

Guests would need to book a minimum of a 7 to 10 day crewed charter in order to cover the time it takes to sail to the North Channel from our Charter Base at the Bay Port Yachting Centre in Midland, Ontario.  Alternatively, COSMOS Yacht Charters can arrange for your crewed charter to start and end in the North Channel (Killarney, Little Current, Gore Bay) depending on yacht availability. Advanced reservations are needed.

For our bareboat clients who want their charter to start and end in the North Channel, a yacht repositioning fee would apply.

Please email us or telephone (905) 715-8795 for more information and/or a personalized quotation.

What people are saying

“Canvas Yacht Charters and Doug are a pleasure to work with. Doug’s follow-up skills are remarkable and attention to detail are bar none. I very rarely leave reviews, but I can, without a doubt, recommend Canvas and Doug to everyone I know. Thanks again D!”

“We recently celebrated our 25th anniversary with three other couples, our dearest friends, on a week-long sailing charter. The trip was arranged by Doug Tibbs at Canvas Yacht Charters, and his assistance was invaluable every step of the way. He listened to our dreams for the trip, the things we were really hoping for and things we wanted to avoid, non-negotiates and crazy ideas, and he filtered them all to present us with several charter options, any one of which would have been wonderful, but we ended up on Ghost. Doug’s attention didn’t stop with the booking. He made sure we were kept aware of various important deadlines, including changes related to covid, connected us with the crew and conveyed to them all our preferences, and was available throughout to answer our big and small questions. This was truly the trip of a lifetime for every one of us onboard—the boat, the crew, the sailing, the food, the adventure. So many thanks to Doug for his care to make it everything we dreamed it could be—and we are already hoping to plan a repeat trip for next year!”

“It’s not often that I end up leaving a review for a service I didn’t end up booking, but the super customer service I received from Heather at Starrluxe definitely merits noting. From the first step in the process, she was helpful, professional, and extremely accommodating despite a difficult itinerary and an expedited time frame. She provided excellent options and went out of her way to address our every requirement. I deeply regret that our travel plans changed and we weren’t able to finalize our charter, but I greatly look forward to working with Starrluxe again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Enjoyed working with Doug. He was attentive to our needs/desires. Got us a great boat with a great crew. He even got us a price reduction. I will look forward to working with him again.”

“Doug and his team helped us book a trip in two days for the following week. Great communications and expectation setting, which helped make the trip successful. We will recommend them to family and friends for their trips. -Cheers, John”

San Juan Islands Sailing Charters and Cruises

We provide yacht and crew. you relax and enjoy., the art of slow travel.

Something special happens when we cast off the dock lines and head out into the San Juan Islands on a sailing charter. We become aware of the rhythm of the tides, the wind filling the sails, the salty sea air, and the porpoise following in our wake. The hidden coves and diverse marine life of the San Juans beckon us to make discoveries and submerge ourselves in its delightfully relaxed pace.

So much of the world passes by without our being able to see, touch, or feel it. A sailing charter through the San Juan islands allows us to take a moment to slow down and experience it for ourselves.

We have been perfecting the art of “slow travel” for over 25 years. Our new 55′ sailboat Northwind , offers a luxury yacht charter experience for up to six guests in private staterooms with ensuite baths. Each one of our San Juan Sailing Charters and Inside Passage cruises are one of a kind, designed for your group from the ground up. From your preferences on food and drink , to where we go and what we see and do, the result is a perfect blending of islands, yacht, crew, and cuisine. It’s your perfect vacation, Sailing the San Juan Islands in style.

 This is what a carefree sailing vacation is all about

Sailing the san juan islands.

Captains Jette & Jon Baker, with TailR

A fully crewed sailing charter with Sail the San Juans is a world away from any vacation experience you probably have ever had. A sailboat charter aboard Northwind  will open a door to see and experience the more remote islands and coves that are not easily accessible to most people.

At the same time, sailing yachts are in a unique position to be less intrusive to marine mammals which helps encourage encounters with Orca, seals and porpoise.

A sailboat charter with Sail the San Juans is a first class experience, from our impeccable yacht and crew to your private chef’s menu built around your preferences.

Join us to explore over 200 forested islands, help trim the sails on Northwind, or just relax while you savor gourmet fare , and great hiking and kayaking through protected bays and inlets.

This is the art of slow travel.

Superyacht Charter British Columbia

Private Yachting Cruises in British Columbia

British Columbia - grandiose yet friendly, majestic yet hospitable. From sophisticated Vancouver City to small seaside towns; from the towering forest covered mountains to the depth of the fjords, British Columbia is one to tick off the bucket list. Experience the breathtaking beauty all around you with the Pacific on one side and the Rocky mountains on the other onboard your crewed superyacht. Rent a crewed motor or sailing boat with YPI to have the best cruising possible in British Columbia. This is an example of an eight day yacht charter itinerary for British Columbia. Yacht charter itineraries are created individually for every client based around personal preferences and how you want to spend your time onboard your superyacht in North America.

Vancouver City

Discover vancouver.

Arrive in Vancouver and join your crewed superyacht in the port. Enjoy a welcome cocktail on board before heading out to explore this vibrant city. Go to Granville Market for some shopping; visit trendy Gastown, a national heritage site on the origins of the city. If you prefer to look forward rather than back, then the TELUS Science World should be of interest. Walk the famous seawall in Stanley Park or go for the adrenaline rush of nearby Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. Climb the 32 floors to the Vancouver Lookout for spectacular views over the city. Keep exploring for dinner: Condé Nast has called this one of the best food cities in the world – everything from bao buns at a food truck to fine dining at The Hawksworth. Enjoy.

Deep Fjords and Ocean Sounds

The motor or sailing boat will set sail whilst you enjoy breakfast for the short cruise to Howe’s sound. Enjoy the stunning scenery as you sip your coffee – a taste of much more to come. This fjord is horseshoe shaped and begs to be explored. Take the kayaks for a workout; do some waterskiing or try your hand at some fishing – your chef will happily prepare your catch for lunch. Go to Bowen Island and hike up Mount Gardner or the take a gentle trek to Dormans point for perfect shots of Howe’s Sound. Browse shops and galleries in Snug Cove. Visit the town of Gibson at the mouth of the fjord or go to Keats Island for a gentle hike. Relax in the hot tub on board over cocktails and enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by your chef as the yacht gently swings at anchor off Gambier Island.

Secret Cove

Cyclists heaven.

Cruise up the Straits of Georgia from Howe Sound to Secret Cove. Start your day off with some pilates or yoga on deck your superyacht, surrounded by peace and nature. Take kayaks and explore the nooks and crannies of the Smugglers Cove Marine Provincial Park. Paddleboard across to South Thormanby Island. Then, head ashore to explore pretty beaches and hike up forested slopes. Wait for low tide in sheltered Buccaneers Bay to walk across the white sands to North Thormanby Island. Snorkel in the clear waters. Cyclists may prefer to take the Suncoaster trail – a 20 mile stretch along the coast or one of four other purpose-built cycle routes. Have a relaxing massage in the ocean breeze at the Rockwater Resort. Enjoy cocktail hour and another wonderful dinner on board with your friends.

Pender Harbour

Whale spotting.

Watch out for whale spouts as you cruise up the Georgia Straits. There are an estimated 85 orcas living in this stretch of water. Keep your eyes peeled and your cameras ready. Arrive at Pender Harbour in the centre of myriad coves, islets and hidden inlets as well as several lakes to explore. Hit the water in the kayaks or the paddleboards to take a tour of the area. Take a picnic to Garden Bay Lake for an afternoon’s fishing and walking. Art afficionados should not miss seeing the contemporary paintings of local artist Motoko, inspired by the grandeur and beauty of this area. Choose a piece to remind you of your motor or sailboat charter here. Golfers can play a quick 9 holes at Pender Harbour Golf Club, a beautiful forest course. Enjoy a wonderful evening at the Lagoon Restaurant at Painted Boat beginning with cocktails on the large deck followed by dinner surrounded by gorgeous views of Maroon Lake.

Royal Territory

Leave Pender Harbour for the next stage in your journey – today heading to the fabulous Princess Louisa Inlet. First enter through Jervis Inlet, a beautiful fjord with cliffs rising almost vertically out of the water slicing through the Coastal Mountain range. Record every moment of the majestic scenes surrounding you as the inlet becomes Princess Royal Reach, taking time to spot the petroglyphs on the cliff walls. Princess Royal then becomes Queens Reach before turning into the Princess Louisa Inlet. Soak up the beauty of the lush green rainforest rising up all around your superyacht. Film the famous Chatterbox Falls tumbling down at the end of the inlet - feel the spray from the falls. Dine on board this evening and sit around the firepit and exchange stories. Sample a Maple Syrup Whisky liqueur as an after dinner tipple.

Desolation Sound

Anything but desolate.

Wake up to more stunning scenery after an overnight sail to Desolation Sound. Desolation Sound is made up of hundreds of bays and coves to explore. Start at Mansons Landing on Cortes Island; swim from the beach or visit the Cortes Island Museum and Archives Society to learn the history of the Sound and personal stories of local tribes, pioneers, loggers and immigrants. Head further north through more gorgeous fjords to West Redonda Island. Take a selfie shot against the ubiquitous log boom at Teakerne Arm; hike up beside Cassell Falls to the warm lake of the same name for a picnic lunch. The superyacht will reposition to anchor in Tenebos Bay, a perfect spot to use as ‘base camp’. Take the trail leading over to Unwins Lake for a freshwater swim. Slide the kayaks into the water to explore surrounding islands such as Mink or Otter Island. Fish for your supper: your chef can turn your catch into the freshest sushi or carpaccio you have ever tasted – a fitting final feast. Sit in the hot tub and gaze at the night sky.

Campbell River

Salmon capital of the world.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast and snap your final shots as your superyacht takes you to Campbell River for the penultimate day. Visit a salmon hatchery at Quinsam River to learn about the life cycle of the fish and conservation measures. Head out of town to the Elk Falls Park. Get up close and personal – and rather damp - from a viewing platform right beside the roaring falls before walking across the swinging suspension bridge for great views into the canyon. Continue following the trail and feel dwarfed by sky high trees throughout the forest, enveloping you in nature. Back in town visit the Maritime Heritage Centre or go to the local art gallery to see work from artists all over Canada. Walk or cycle along the Rotary Sea Walk following the beachfront and winding through spectacular viewpoints along the route. Finish your trip on a high with dinner at Legends Dining Room with wonderful ocean views at the impressive Painter’s Lodge.

Farewell – For Now

After breakfast, have a last run ashore for any more souvenirs and gifts before you disembark your motor or sailboat and take a floatplane for the trip back to Vancouver for your onward journey. Soak up the scenery and imprint it on your memory until the next time.

SEAGLASS 74 Cruiser - "The Ultimate Cruising Yacht."

The modern clean lines of the PC74 have been skillfully created from the drawing board of renowned designer, JC Espinosa of ESPINOSA INC. Known for his charm and flamboyant character, but more so for his flair for designing very elegant mega-yachts, JC Espinosa has produced a stunningly beautiful catamaran with free-flowing lines, a superstructure that is pleasing to the eye and draws your attention to study her complex “simplicity”. He has also created a luxurious, plush interior, which will set her apart. She certainly will appeal to the “Cruising Connoisseur”.

SEAGLASS 74 Features:

SEAGLASS 74 is a magnificent, luxurious cruising yacht that offers the comfort, privacy, amenities, and space one would typically only find on much larger motor yachts but without the associated purchase and running costs. She will appeal to a broad segment of yacht owners, either for private use or for charter. Key elements of SEAGLASS 74 are; Elegance, Stability, Efficiency, Performance, Luxury, Space, Privacy, Amenities, Safety, Manoeuvrability, Ease of Maintenance, and Eye-Catching Dock Appeal. It is fair to say that no other yacht of her size offers everything that we have successfully designed on SEAGLASS 74.

The well-esteemed charterer will appreciate the main deck, with all the primary living areas on a single level, including the massive aft deck with dining for 10 and lounging for 8, a bar, and ample storage lockers. The large saloon offers seating for 8, separate inside formal dining for 8, gourmet galley with island, and bar with 4 stools. Forward on the main deck is the glamorous full-beam master stateroom with walk around King bed, 180-degree views, a spacious en-suite bathroom, a sofa, a vanity, and ample storage.

The lower decks offer two large King VIP en-suite staterooms, ports, and starboard forward. The fourth guest en-suite stateroom, port aft; can be configured to accommodate couples or 3 children. The crew cabin, for 3, is in the starboard aft section of the yacht and has a separate bathroom and kitchenette. Note that each cabin has a separate entrance, offering privacy for everyone aboard.

The Flybridge is an entertainers delight, with large comfortable dining/lounging for up to 10, a well-equipped bar with seating for 5, a day head, a separate BBQ area, and dinghy stowage plus loads of room for chaise lounges once anchored off a secluded beach in an exotic location. The aft deck Hi/Lo swim platform, suspended between the hulls, ensures that everyone can access the water with ease. The foredeck offers two large sun pads and bow seats. There are 5 large storage areas for fenders, lines, and water toys.

We are brokers who have either lived or crewed in the BVI. Crewed yachts- sailboats, motor yachts, catamarans, all filtrable and a click away. We specialize in BVI catamaran charters, where we know the majority of the boats and crews in person, having crewed on yachts like Twin or King’s Ransom.

Most of our BVI charters start in Tortola. Nevertheless, it’s possible to start a crewed charter in Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Not all yachts are able to start the charter in the USVI. You’ll either want a yacht that is based in the USVI or we can arrange a St. Thomas pickup (with many yachts).

Types of Charters

There are two primary ways to break down our BVI yacht charters: Firstly, by how they are powered (this includes sails and motor) and secondly, by how many crew members are onboard (this can be none, captain only, or full crew).

Type of Yacht

☛ Sailing Yachts

Sailing yachts come in two primary types: monohulls and catamarans. Monohulls have a single hull, offering a traditional sailing experience with heeling and excellent upwind performance. Catamarans, with twin hulls, provide stability, speed, and spacious living areas. Monohulls excel upwind, while catamarans offer comfort, speed, and shallow draft advantages. Ultimately, the choice between them depends on individual preferences, sailing conditions, and intended use.

☛ Motor Yachts

Motor yachts and motor catamarans are power-driven vessels offering distinct advantages. Motor yachts provide luxury, speed, and long-range cruising, while motor catamarans offer stability, spaciousness, and fuel efficiency. If you are planning a busy itinerary with a focus on exploring the many great destinations, you should strongly consider a Motor Yacht.

☛ Luxury Yachts

While the British Virgin Islands have traditionally been known as sailing destinations, we have seen a growing demand for luxury motor yachts among high-end clients. As the marinas compete to accommodate more and larger vessels, their numbers increase.  There are now over 200 large   (100+ feet meters) motor yachts operating in the BVI  in the high season. The motor yachts offer more privacy and prestige, more water toys, and comfort as they can accommodate a larger number of guests and crew. (Note that jet skis are not allowed in the BVI).

Type of Crew

☛ Crewed Charters

Immerse yourself in luxury and choose a crewed charter where everything is taken care of, and you won’t need to think about a thing. A Crewed Charter usually includes at least a Captain and a Chef but can also cover a stewardess, masseuses, dive instructors, personal trainers, and yoga instructors. The boat is provisioned according to guest wishes and preferences. Since all the work is handled by the crew, the guests can really have a relaxed, laid-back time.

☛ Captain-Only Charters

Captain-only charters are a good middle ground between the crewed charters and the bareboat charters. It’s very much like car rental. You do the paperwork and rent the boat. The local experience of the crew should not be underestimated. A captain will know secret spots and is able to quickly analyze your preferences and types of vacation you wish (or need).

☛ Bareboat Charters

Bareboat charter is the budget-friendly option for qualified sailors. Originally intended for people who know the area, the price convenience caused that today, many of the bareboat captains would be better off with a captain-only charter. If you haven’t been to the BVI before or you haven’t that much experience sailing the boat you wish to charter (rent), consider a captain-only charter, you will thank us later:) At the moment, we don’t include bareboats in our search, please inquire directly and we can find a matching bareboat for you.

Common Issues On a BVI Yacht Charters

• I got a boat from USVI – will I find out, after I sign the contract, that we’ll not go to the BVI at all?
• All-Inclusive – what does it include?
• Air Conditioning – does it run during the night?
• APA- Advance Provisioning Allowance – are you going to have a daily overview?
• Crew – what is the real crew feedback? How did they do on their last charters?
• Crew Change – is your crew a part of the contract?

Not So Obvious Issues

• are your cruising taxes included?
• how long is your immigration procedure going to take? Minutes or hours?
• will I lose a day in order to catch a Ferry to get an STT morning flight?

List of BVI charter companies

Most people would start with 50 islands and cays, right? Let’s start with the relaxed and chilled atmosphere where liming was invented (drinking/eating and chilling for hours without a defined schedule). It’s the freedom that you can have when sail to bars like Willy T, the optimism and positive energy that you recuperate over the course of your vacation, that’s what makes the BVI special.

You can immediately tell the people who arrived yesterday. Full of stress, solving small things… a bundle of nerves that we turn into after prolonged experience with the “real world.” After a few painkillers (the BVI signature drink) or Frozen Margaritas (Willy T is the place), every pain diminishes and the problems fade away. These same people leave after a week smiling, optimistic and full of energy.

Snorkeling at the Indians, diving the Wreck of Rhone, surfing at Bomba Shack (Capoons Bay) or  a visit to The Baths (Virgin Gorda) are the part of charter that provide those memorable moments people have been coming back for.

Top 6 BVI Yacht Charter Locations

The secret one are the best. The license plates of the BVI cars say “Nature’s Little Secrets.” That’s spot on. If you want to know some secret spots, talk to our brokers. Get on the chat or inquire about the yachts. Kerry has been the crew of a charter boat in the BVI for over 15 years. Well, let us give you some of the best-known places:)

The Baths on Virgin Gorda

A place where you must charter is The Baths. This spectacular place will enchant you and you will fall in love with the Baths. What is so special about this place that you have to charter there? The answer is simple: there are few places on earth that are quite so stunningly beautiful and this part of Virgin Gorda is among them. Big rocks settled in the silky soft sand are breathtaking and once you climb through them you will finish in Devils Bay.

Tortola is the largest island in the BVI and home to the capital where your charter most likely will start. The locals are welcoming and the island is home to numerous stunning white sand beaches like Smuggler’s Cove, Trunk Bay, and Cane Garden Bay, perfect for relaxing with a cold drink.

Nanny Cay is located on the south side of Tortola and is home to the modern Nanny Cay Resort & Marina, known for its great drinks and breathtaking sunsets. The area also hosts the renowned Spring BVI Regatta, attracting sailors from around the world.

Soper’s Hole Wharf & Marina , located on the West End of Tortola, is a charming spot for dining, refueling, and shopping, offering a peaceful atmosphere. This part of the British Virgin Islands truly feels like paradise, brimming with the sunny island’s vibrant energy and natural wonders.

One of the main islands is very well known for yacht anchorages. On Jost Van Dyke will find amazing bars, restaurants with the pure Caribbean vibe. Once you come on your yacht charter to White Bay you will not want to leave ever. In the White Bay, the time stopped and you will have so much fun on your charter. Cold famous painkillers with delicious local food, you have to try this little nature secret in this paradise. Make sure to visit the famous Soggy Dollar Bar!!

Norman Island is known as Treasure Island and was the inspiration for the pirate novel of Robert Louis Stevenson. This island is the perfect place where to sail on your yacht charter if you are looking for adventure which may end with found treasure. After snorkeling and exploring the many caves that Norman Island offers, you can sail to Bight for outstanding food in Pirates Bight Restaurant and The Club Restaurant.

Sandy Cay & Spit Island

Sandy Cay and Spit Island, both tiny uninhabited islands near Jost Van Dyke, offers palm-lined shores and shallow reefs ideal for beachcombing and exploring marine life. Both destinations provide secluded beauty and relaxation, making them must-visit spots during a yacht charter in the British Virgin Islands.

The Indians

The Indians is a natural wonder and a must-visit destination for anyone on a yacht charter, offering a blend of natural beauty and  snorkeling opportunities . This cluster of rugged islets features  striking rock formations  shaped by the elements. The main attraction is the submerged boulders, known as  “The Caves,”  providing a captivating underwater landscape.

Accessible by yacht , anchoring in the vicinity opens the door to an immersive experience. Snorkelers can explore  vibrant coral reefs  and encounter  diverse marine life  thriving in the crystal-clear waters.

North Sound

If the BVI is the mecca of yachting, the North Sound should be its capital.

North Sound is located on the north of Virgin Gorda, the primary method of transport there is by boat. It’s a rather secluded location, no doubt by design.

This  Billionaire Playground first became popular in the 50s and 60s, thanks to the Washburn family, and gained even more attention in the 70s and 80s. Notably, Sir Richard Branson bought his second island, Moskito Island, here.

North Sound is a hub for sailing, hosting the annual Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta and Rendezvous. You can also see people windsurfing and kitesurfing here. Plus, some of the best BVI diving locations , like Mountain Point, Cow’s Mouth, and Paul’s Grotto near Mountain Bay, are found in this area. It’s a playground for the wealthy but also a paradise for anyone who loves the sea and adventure.
