Luxury Catamaran Charter in the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are arguably the world's best week-long charter cruising ground — and the 60-80ft crewed luxury catamaran is arguably the best yacht for it. MAVERICK sits in the heart of that segment: a 70-foot sailing catamaran with four ensuite cabins, a three-person professional crew, and full Caribbean-Inclusive terms, available year-round in the BVI from $44,500 per week.

Why a luxury catamaran for the BVI

The BVI's anchorages, channels, and reef systems were made for catamarans. The trade winds blow steadily from the east; the islands sit in two parallel chains creating the protected Sir Francis Drake Channel between them; most anchorages are sandy and shallow. A catamaran exploits all of that:

• Shallow draft — gets you into Anegada's lobster lagoon, Sandy Cay's lee, and the protected backside of Norman Island, where deep-draft monohulls can't safely anchor
• Stability — twin hulls don't heel, so dinner stays on the table during passages and seasickness rarely becomes a problem (a real consideration with multi-generational groups)
• Deck and interior space — at 70ft of length with 36ft of beam, MAVERICK has the deck space of a 100ft monohull, including a full flybridge, foredeck seating, large aft deck dining, and a saloon that doesn't double as a passageway
• Swim-platform access — low aft platforms make in-and-out water access constant, especially with kids or older guests

For a charter group of six to nine in the luxury segment, a 60-80ft cat is the right size: large enough for genuine private space per cabin and crew separation, small enough to access the BVI's quieter anchorages.

What MAVERICK offers in the 60-80ft luxury segment

Across the 60-80ft luxury catamaran field in the BVI — which includes a handful of yachts in active crewed charter — MAVERICK is positioned to lead on several specific dimensions:

Crew quality and ratio. Three professional crew for nine guests is a 1:3 ratio — at the higher end of the segment. Captain runs the sailing program with optional helm instruction, professional chef handles all provisioning and meals, dedicated deck/stew handles cabins and water-toy logistics.

All-inclusive Caribbean terms. Three meals daily with house wines, full ship's bar (excluding vintage labels), fuel for four engine hours per day, and BVI cruising permits — all included in the charter rate. Many comparable yachts run "plus expenses" terms (APA) which add 25-35% to the all-in cost.

Water-toy fleet. Two Seabobs, an eFoil, paddleboards, kayaks, full dive gear (BCDs, regulators, tanks via local fills), snorkel sized for adults and kids, fishing tackle, wakeboards. Above-segment for a 70ft cat.

Connectivity. Starlink satellite WiFi onboard. Consistent high-speed coverage throughout BVI cruising areas. Most older yachts in the segment still rely on shore-based 4G that drops half the cruising area.

Cabin layout. 4 ensuite cabins — three king-bed suites and one twin (2 singles + pullman). Ensuite means each cabin has its own private head and shower. Plenty of yachts in the segment have shared heads or interior heads — small detail that matters by day three of charter.

Build and refit. Built 2013 by Sunreef Yachts, comprehensive 2019 interior refit. Tailor-made German Schramm mattresses, Loewe entertainment systems. MCA Compliant for commercial charter operation.

A typical week explores the full BVI cruising ground:

• Day 2 — Norman Island to Peter Island via Sir Francis Drake Channel, afternoon at Deadman's Beach
• Day 3 — Peter to Cooper Island, snorkel Cistern Point with the resident turtles, beach club lunch
• Day 4 — Early visit to The Baths at Virgin Gorda before the day-charter crowds, lunch in Spanish Town, afternoon sail to Anegada (the BVI's only true coral atoll)
• Day 5 — Anegada lobster lunch on the beach, eFoil or kite-surfing, sunset at Cow Wreck
• Day 6 — Sail back to Jost Van Dyke, Soggy Dollar Bar at White Bay, quiet anchorage at Great Harbour
• Day 7 — Last swim at Sandy Cay, return to Tortola for disembark

The crew adjusts daily based on weather, wind, and what guests want. Quiet days at anchor work too.
