Any additional comments:

"I can't put into words how incredible this vacation was. Dani and Paul were the two pieces that made the experience all that it was, without a doubt. Their commitment to excellence was second to none and expectations were exceeded in every way. By the way, the two other couples we sailed with were so fun and quickly became friends with them! 

Thank you so very much for all your help. I look forward to sailing again with Yacht Charters Guru. Thank you again!”

February 4-8, 2024 Catamaran Southern Charm

Shelly was awesome in helping  our group find  a great fit for our charter! We had a last-minute emergency which made us reschedule; she was able to make everything  work out!  Food and boat have been awesome. Crew very friendly and been amazing. 

Highly recommended!

~Rusty & Tammy LaRue 

December 24-31, 2023  Catamaran Atlas

“What could be better than family time on a beautiful boat, with an amazing crew in the sunny BVI’s? Thank you Brynn & Rosie for a charter that exceeded our expectations. 

~From the delicious food (catering to many dietary restrictions) to the wonderful cocktails, fabulous snorkeling, shoot stars and the rare dolphin sighting…you both made our week special! 

~We Hope to be back on Catamaran Atlas soon!"

   The Nagorsky Family, PA

November 21-28, 2023 Catamaran Mystic

What did you see new and loved on this charter? EVERYTHING!  Rob and B made sure to schedule fantastic family locations for us!

Did you go diving? How many times? We did a 2-tank dive and it was great. Better in Belize, so we chose to do all the other fun things on the other days.

Was Thanksgiving another fun feast this year? Seafood, seafood, seafood!!  B outdid herself!

Did you feel the crew is happy working aboard Mystic? They love the boat & the company.

Would you charter with them again in the BVI or are you looking for something new such as Greece, Croatia, Bahamas, etc? We would do BVIs (definitely with this crew), Greece, Croatia, Fiji, Philippines or Thailand.

Is there anything Yacht Charters Guru needs to do better or differently for your next charter vacation? No, you’re A+ in all respects!  ~ S. Moerbe, TX

November 5-12, 2023 Catamaran Ithaka

1. Crew Friendliness: Both Clayton and Jill were very friendly. 

2. Crew Knowledge: They both seemed to be very knowledgeable about the area and the boat. 

3. Quality of Service:  Good. 

4. The Professionalism of Crew: Good

5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:  very fair 

6. On-Board Cuisine: Great

8. Water-Sports:   We didn’t do a lot of this. We had the float and paddle board out one day but were busy with other things on the other days. 

9. Overall Satisfaction:  very good 

What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation? Spending time with friends that we don’t see often. We loved the Baths.

November 4-11, 2023 Catamaran Touch the Sky

1. Crew Friendliness: A+ 2. Crew Knowledge: A+ 3. Quality of Service: A+ 4. The Professionalism of Crew: A+ 5. Value of the Cost of the Charter: cost is extremely high based on vacations to all inclusive resorts. I Understand it’s not apples to apples but at this price-point, it will be quite some time, if at all, before we can or will do this again. 6. On-Board Cuisine: A+ 7. Destination / Location: A+ 8. Water-Sports: I was looking forward to waterskiing however adult water skis were available, The boat wasn’t able to pull an adult.  This should be updated in boat information. 9. Overall Satisfaction: A+ What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?  Ah, that’s hard to say.  The wedding, of course was special. Spending time with our friends in paradise.  A. Bagwell, TX

August 15-22, 2023 Catamaran Kimata in Greece

We had an amazing time! The crew was unbelievable. We are sad it is our last night here. I think my favorite stop was Blue Bay in Poliegos - so pretty. Crew was great and the boat was great. Everything was over the top!

T. Kimbell, TX

May 30-June 6, 2023 Catamaran Bagheera

It’s was perfect. The combo of the yacht, crew, attitude was perfect. There wasn’t one thing we found lacking! The food was over the top, better than we expected. Carla has a great attitude and served a labor of love from her galley. Allie could not have have been more cheerful or helpful. The weather was perfect. We had a clear understanding of what we wanted to do and we really enjoyed it.

Wonderful group of people, than you for organising their time on NeuroSeas.  We sailed first two days, Brice seemed to enjoy it and got involved. Even anchoring, operating the boat etc.  Active group, very kind and fun.  We got the special roti delivery for them from the best place we know in whole Grenadines, as they mentioned it couple of times in the preference list.   Capt. Yurko on  behalf of Brice M.

9. Overall Satisfaction: The entire experience was amazing. Terry and Ruth were wonderful. You can really tell the difference between a seasoned crew and the younger crews we’ve experienced in the past. Terry was always whistling and cheerful, had endless patience teaching us all about Cat vs Mono sailing and the quirks of The Big Dog, answered a thousand questions and never once seemed put out by our endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge. 

We dove with Terry 3x and he was a wonderful dive master…taking us to 3 sites with a lot of variation and interest. He is always watching out for everyone’s safety above and below the water and has ninja-like abilities to appear with the dinghy just as you need a ride back to the boat from a shore excursion. The condition and layout of The Big Dog is amazing…everything was spotless and ship shape. Spacious cabins, comfortable mooring/anchoring sites, water maker (water pressure was impressive!) and ice maker were a real luxury too! 

Ruth’s meals were outstanding and she is a warm and cheerful presence on the boat. We loved the size of The Big Dog for 8 of us-her spacious deck space, the big fly deck, the cabins…everything. The layout with the galley being down below made it seem as if meals magically appeared out of nowhere. That was a fun surprise as we hadn’t been on a Cat with that configuration before. 

We would give this boat and crew our HIGHEST recommendation. This is now our 4th crewed charter in the VI’s and The Big Dog takes the prize in every category. First class crew, first class cuisine, first class vessel. 

We will definitely book again and just recommended The Big Dog to another friend who is considering a crewed BVI charter (I also of course recommended Yacht Charters Guru).

 P.S Thanks for once again hitting the jackpot Shelly and Randy!!

____________

"Everything was absolutely amazing! " I particularly enjoyed Ruth's out of this world cooking and Terry's generosity with his patience and his teaching.  10+ on all categories!!!"

SATISFACTION WITH YACHT CHARTER MCGREGOR III: 

1. Crew Friendliness:  “10 Stars on a 5-Star Scale!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. Crew Knowledge:  Julie & Capt Tim were warm, friendly & wonderful hosts! 

3. Quality of Service:  Gracious, fun and thoughtful! Accommodations clean & comfortable!

4. The Professionalism of Crew:  Both very professional - sensitive to comfort & safety.

5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:  I think the cost was reasonable for the experience and time!

6. On-Board Cuisine:  Food was Excellent! 

7. Destination / Location:  We remained in the USVI due to husbands expired passport, anchoring in beautiful spots! 

8. Water-Sports: Snorkeling & Scuba was fabulous!  I needed some extra support & Capt. Tim was terrific! 

9. Overall Satisfaction:  I am truly grateful!

What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?  Anchoring in beautiful spots!

Any additional comments you would like to make regarding your vacation experience?  We will return for more exploring, snorkeling & scuba! 

We have had a wonderful trip. We are motoring back to the port of call this morning and then off to BlueBeard's Castle for the night. 

Thank you for all your guidance and service. 

Best, 

February 23-March 2,  Catamaran Delana Mae

Thanks for checking in! We’re having a wonderful time!! McKenna has learned how to foil and wants to get on it every chance she gets! And Emme is now an expert paddle boarder! She takes the boards down and goes out without any assistance. They’re living their best lives!!

February 11-18, 2023 Catamaran La Speranza

Post-Charter Review From Our Clients: 

1. Crew Friendliness: Both Sid and Jack were personable and we got to know them well over the course of our 7 day charter. Jack, answered my countless questions about the boat and sailing and Sid was always ready to help no matter what it was.

2. Crew Knowledge: We found the crew very knowledgeable on our destination, the US Virgin Islands, all the sights, attractions and best mooring spots. Sid and Jack were well versed on the operation of the boat and worked well as a team in all phases of its operational.

3. Quality of Service: Everything was top notch, Lisa and I frequently would say "we were so glad that we selected to do a charter.

4. Professionalism of Crew: It was clear that Sid and Jack enjoyed what they do and it showed in the their professionalism and personable level of service they provided.

5. Value of the Cost of the Charter: We feel that doing the charter was a great value. We originally were going to get a hotel, rent a car and tour around by ourselves. But because of the logistics around doing this we considered a charter. We did not select the charter initially because of value but for convenience. In the end Lisa and I both felt the charter was a great value, when factoring in lodging, food, transportation, fuel, sightseeing and the overall fun factor.

6. On-Board Cuisine: We had almost all of our meals On-Board. All of the meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner were different offering great variety. The meals were well prepared, tasty and artfully presented. Lisa has a salt-free diet restrictions and Sid did a great job in the meal preparation to accommodate this.

7. Destination/Location: The main initiative to visit the US VI was to see the National Park on St John Island. They positioned the boat so that we were able to see everything in the park we wanted to see. Also we were able to coordinate doing the reef trail hike, in the down hill direction, and having the boat pick us up off the beach after the hike.

8. Water Sports: Our main water sport was snorkeling and we did it everyday some days at several locations. We also sailed to St Croix and back which was a fantastic experience we will not forget.

9. Overall satisfaction: We loved everything about the charter, our biggest issue is that we can't wait to do it again in other interesting destinations.

January 9-15, 2023  Catamaran Odyssea

"The trip was perfect in every way!  We loved Chef Gi and Capt. Dylan so much!  They were great at reading us and knew when to engage. Food was great, activity level was perfect for us. I would highly recommend them. Thanks so much for arranging the perfect trip!"

D ecember 21-28, 2022 Catamaran Katrina

“Dear Captain Ed and Erin – From the moment we set foot on Katrina, we immediately felt at ease. You both extended a warm and informative welcome that had all five us super excited for some quality boat and sea time. Thank you for making us feel welcome and comfortable, for answering all our questions and for explaining our itinerary each day along with the daily menus. 

From the Christmas tree to the holiday floral arrangements and the stockings on the table for Christmas brunch, Erin, you didn’t miss a beat to make sure we had a memorable holiday while at sea. Thank you for helping us stick to a very full itinerary and for the bonus spots that you found for us to explore along the way. You and Ed handled our lost luggage situation with confidence and grace which is how we believe the two of you would handle any situation you were given.

Captain Ed, the sailing was top notch! Thank you for sailing us safely all over the BVIs and for answering all our sailing questions and for constantly ensuring we were safe on the water and on the boat. We are thankful for the extra attention you gave to us by putting out the floating mat and paddle boards, having snorkeling noodles at the ready and taking us to shore in the dingy whenever we pleased. Thank you also for the evening fish viewing.

Erin, thank you for nailing our menu for the week! Every single meal catered to the various food preferences of our family (vegetarian, dairy free, etc.) and they were super delicious. Some of our favorites include your poke bowls, fresh tortellini, Caribbean chicken, breakfast strata, the banana pancake bar, your signature rum cake and your infamous sourdough bread. You are an amazing chef who took significant care to make sure our food preferences were incorporated and each of us had plenty of healthy food. The afternoon snacks, and cocktails were simply the icing on the cake! 

Thank you for making it easy and enjoyable for us to be together on this fun and memorable sailing adventure. 

Thank you for everything! We hope to see you back on the water soon.”

November 21-28, 2022  Catamaran Nowhere / Belize

Ellen is a truly great chef.  She’s done an incredible job of meeting our food restrictions while making the food absolutely delicious! As well, her presentation has been terrific. Capt. Reuben is terrific as well. I enjoy chatting with him. 

November 21-28, 2022 Catamaran Belle Vie

We ABSOLUTELY will charter again, and will most definitely contact you when we are ready.  We would also love to charter with Rob & B again in the near future.

November 13-20, 2022 Catamaran Karma

While we were having fun interviewing the yachts & crews at the broker’s charter yacht shows last week in the USVI & BVI, our clients were having the best vacation of their lives aboard 50’ Catamaran KARMA!

See their review: “We cannot rave enough about how amazing Mac and Jake were, how perfect the food was and how impressive the boat was! I’ve been all over the world to many different resorts and have to say the service and experience provided by Capt. Jake & Mac was top of the charts! Absolutely world-class! They are amazing people and made this trip what it was - one we will never forget and one that will be the bar by which future trips are measured! Also, your attention to detail and communication pre-trip were also incredible and greatly appreciated. We will definitely use you to book the next one!“

What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation? Hard to put down just one- the food, sunset hike/picnic over Waterlemon Bay, scuba at Mingo Cay and the Ledges

Any additional comments you would like to make regarding your vacation experience? It was a fantastic experience. The perfect trip to celebrate our daughter’s graduation. Capt Cory and Chef Emily were wonderful. The food was fantastic-every meal we were impressed with Chef Emily’s creativity and skill. Lisa is having some issues with gluten. Emily went above and beyond in creating meals that Lisa could eat- and they were 5 star. My daughter, Anna, said before the trip that one of the things she was looking forward to was the food- she was not disappointed. 

We loved the scuba. We are newly certified divers and they made us feel comfortable and safe. We appreciated Capt Cory giving us an itinerary based on his experience- he didn’t disappoint. The trip was perfect for us- we were content to spend time on the boat relaxing/reading while also spending time snorkeling, hiking, scuba, etc. We would definitely sail with Capt Cory and Chef Emily again. ~C. Sward

May 23-29, 2022 Catamaran Grace

Great vacation! Catamaran Grace was a good choice for our family. The trip ticked all our boxes and made us really happy.  The food was amazing.  We enjoyed our sail to St. Croix. For us as new divers, we feel that Britta did a good job of choosing dive locations. Favorite dive: St. Croix Pier. We felt very safe diving and the crew gave the appearance of having everything under control.  The kids loved the sea scooters and wake boarding was fun. I will book with Yacht Charters Guru again and try another new sailing area!" ~M. Colwell

May 19-26, 2022 Catamaran Kuma Too

"Our second trip aboard Kuma Too was just as much fun this year as it was last year!" ~ L. Koenig

April 9-16, 2022 Catamaran Sol Seeker

"Scott and Nikki are great. The food has been wonderful. Everyone is having a great time. A few observations: There is a big difference in flow with a 2 person crew vs 3 person. Guests do more self serve, of course. There is a big difference between a 44 foot catamaran and a 50 foot.  6 feet is much more than it sounds. We’re very comfortable on this boat, but it is not as luxurious. The USVI has exceeded our expectations! There has been so much to do. Nikki really caters to us to make sure each person is happy. She’s very accommodating. We have a lot more say on this charter vs past charters. We’re all very pleased with the whole experience and grateful for our hardworking crew!” ~J. Spencer

Capt. Jake & Mackenzie are beyond perfection! They were amazing. From the start, I knew it was going to be a great trip. I cannot imagine another crew that would have been a better fit for us! The food was amazing. She catered a lot to our lactose intolerant client. Our meals were SO good and we felt SO good eating better. I felt like we had a 5 star restaurant that was healthy. They were so professional and were able to gauge when when we needed to have our privacy. All the places we visited, they knew exactly what we liked. The band for my birthday was OMG! The fun-est day of my life! I literally cried when I said goodbye! ~L. Dickerson

Feb 19-26, 2022 Catamaran Delana Mae

I was afraid with having so much time for planning/waiting that my expectations may be too high - boy was I wrong. The boat is great. A lot of places to hang out or soak in the sun. RJ and Jenna have been awesome. Great places to have fun, snorkel, shop, hike.  Tons of information on the islands, sailing, etc.  I thought the food would be good, but Jenna is blowing that out of the water. To do what she does in a kitchen of that size is amazing.  We are going to learn pirate dice tonight.  We are going to the Lime Out taco place tomorrow.  That looks like fun.  ~ P. Jones

Bree and Jenn are great and we are having a wonderful time.

Jenn is a skilled captain.  We feel quite at ease under her command. ~ The Platinum Club

Dec 27-Jan 3, 2022 Catamaran Hero's Journey

Sailing in the Virgin Islands with Capt. Mike & Julie has been one of the best vacations we've experienced. The journey was relaxing, peaceful, enjoyable and memorable for all of us. The boat is great. Its full of spots to enjoy the stunning views- the sea life, beaches, other boats and sunsets are breathtaking. Capt. Mike really know what he’s doing . We felt comfortable & safe at all times. The activities, like paddle boarding, snorkeling, kayaking and swimming were so fun! Julie’s cooking is incredible. We loved every meal and will miss the amazing service. Thank yo so much for giving us an amazing experience that we’ll always remember.

1. Crew Friendliness: Captain Matthias and Dominic were friendly and fun. We even got to meet Matthias' wife and kids the last night of our trip, which was great.

2. Crew Knowledge: Super-knowledgeable about the waters, the islands we visited, fishing, food. 

3. Quality of Service: Dominic's cooking skills are tremendous. We ate the healthiest, freshest and most tasty meals 3 times a day throughout our trip. We were all amazed at what he could accomplish in a galley kitchen. We had fish that Dominic and Matthias had caught themselves every day, and it was all fantastic! Mattias was great problem-solver. When we could not find car rentals with availability in St. Croix, he borrowed a friend's SUV and took us around the island himself - which was so much fun. When the 3 young people in our group got severely seasick on the long sail to St. Croix, he told me where to book seaplane flights for the return trip to St. Thomas, took them to the seaport in the dingy, and then retrieved them at the seaport in St. Thomas. Charlie and I then enjoyed a great return sail with Matthias and Dominic (and no seasick crew) - and the youngsters loved their short and scenic seaplane hop (and a day at a beach bar)! 

4. The Professionalism of Crew: Professional yet casual and fun, which was what we wanted, with three young 20-somethings in our group. The Elmer Family

1. Crew Friendliness: Hannah and Tom are really special people…friendly, thoughtful, service oriented, always available to help, professional, lovely. We highly recommend them.

2. Crew Knowledge: Great knowledge of the local area, since this is the second time for us and the first time for the rest of the guests, they made sure we didn’t go to the same places, and got to explore new beaches, dive sites, and other fun experiences that were entirely new.

3. Quality of Service: A+++++++++++, seriously, they are truly amazing crew. I would happily serve as a reference ANYTIME they need one.

What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation? 

These are not in any order but we couldn’t pick just one:

1. Sleeping on the fly deck and waking up to see the lunar eclipse

2. fresh lobster ceviche made by Tom from the lobster we caught that day, sunset cocktails and delicious appetizers,

3. game nights with the crew and the fact that Hannah knows all the rules to EVERY board game!

Sept. 4-11, 2021 5 2' Catamaran Valium52 / ATHENS TO ATHENS

"Dear Yacht Charters Guru,

I couldn’t have asked for a better match with this boat and crew.

The amount of space, especially with the screened-in area above in the Captains area was a bonus. Baby Charlotte really enjoyed that area and Capt. Roberto was always fun to chat with as we cruised along. Josh even used it for sleeping quarters a few nights because his bunkmate was snoring too loud😂

We felt like we had the most experienced and knowledgeable Captain in Greece. His ability to maneuver that boat in tight quarters and to secure us a space at the docks was amazing, especially at Hydra. He ended up helping other boaters that were struggling on a couple of occasions. Maria was also phenomenal. She actually injured her shoulder a few days into the trip but was as tough as could be in continuing to provide docking support, delicious meals, and service.

The nice thing is that we had members in our family who have managed larger boats on the Great Lakes so Joe provided a helping hand with the lines which he actually loved doing and Capt. Roberto and Maria appreciated. Of course, they were always mindful to keep everyone safe.

Charters in Greece are expensive but with the number of people that we had on board, we felt it was a good value. Your advice to increase the allotment for our APA expenses was good advice. We owed a little for fuel at the end but the cost came close and it was nice to not worry about needing to pay anything significant.

Overall we were extremely pleased and would highly recommend Valium 52, Yacht Guru, Roberto, and Maria. Except for some exceptionally windy and cool weather, which the crew managed well with an additional night in port, everything was perfect.

Thanks again for all of the work that you put into servicing this trip. I know it was exceptional with all of the interruptions and uncertainties due to Covid.

BTW we also experienced some milestones with Baby Charlotte on the trip. She learned to crawl, wave and was working on standing unsupported (on a moving boat😬). Standing on land should come quickly. The most memorable part of the trip for me was watching how much fun my kids had with each other and the crew. We could have been anywhere in the world but being in this beautiful location made it all even better.

Thanks again and I am sure this won’t be our last charter." L.P.

To Allure & Crew, I’m writing this review on behalf of our family & friends. To say that our vacation was wonderful is an understatement! Capt. Scott & Niki were excellent hosts with impeccable attention to our every need. Each day was planned around our wishes with the perfect combination of adventure relaxation, celebration & laughter. Scott kept us safe with a gentle smile and was always on the lookout for our every need. The meals prepared by Niki were all truly a culinary experience. Every meal was a special treat!

Scott & Niki are true professionals with obvious attention to detail. Their experience in the yachting industry translated into a trip of a lifetime!

The food was incredible, and the presentation was so beautiful. Ross has some mad napkin folding skills! They were so respectful of the catamaran. You would have thought it was their personal property. The diving and snorkeling were fantastic. From the time we arrived until we reluctantly had to be dropped off they made us feel so welcome. We would definitely recommend them to friends or book another trip with them. Thank you so much for booking us with them!” ~Jo G"

"Everything is going great! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew! Yacht Charters Guru provided personal and professional service in every aspect of our trip. From selecting the boat, crew and itinerary, even airline assistance, everything was covered. Most importantly when the corona crisis doomed our trip, they guided us through the process of rescheduling our June 2020 trip until June 2021 with no additional cost. While we were fortunate that the yacht owner graciously accepted our rescheduling request, we would never have been successful in accomplishing this without the Yacht Gurus. I can't thank them or recommend them enough! ~ T. Robins

May 4, 2021 Post Charter Review Touch the Sky

"Crew Friendliness: We have done a few of these charters before and Ben, Jody and Troy were extremely friendly, welcoming and integrated really well with the personalities on the boat.

2. Crew Knowledge: They had an answer for everything.  With varying levels of experience in the job, they all knew their role well, had great local knowledge of the islands, reefs, coves we visited. On-Board Cuisine: Excellent.  Jody was amazing with the meals she put together for us.  Planning and preparing for 12 people 3 times a day is not an easy task and she made it look easy.  Also not easy to please everyone every meal (especially with this crowd) and she did a great job accommodating everyone. Destination / Location:  The islands in the USVI are beautiful.  Ben was really accommodating with getting us to daily/nightly destinations that met the groups' preferences.  We stayed in some amazing, quiet and secluded spots which was our preference.  There were really only a couple destinations that were a bit crowded." ~ D. Rubenstein

"The vacation was amazing. We set some really high bars on our last 3 catamaran trips and we are thrilled to report that the boat/crew far exceeded them. Definitely, the best food we’ve ever had on a boat and Sergio/Neen’s attitude/energy was fantastic. The USVI's greatly surprised us as well - excellent snorkeling, dive spots, scenery, etc. 

Back to the real world ... nothing fun about that! I’ll fill out your questionnaire soon after I put out all these fires.

And BTW - you’ve been the best broker we’ve ever used! I like how you reached out to us before, during, and after the vacation. Will return to y’all in the future!"

March 8, 2021 Post Charter Review for Catamaran Anastasia

The trip was fantastic aboard Catamaran Anastasia.  10/10 on everything.  The food was delicious and Lesli and Ryan did a great job of making sure we were comfortable at all times.  The memorable highlight for me was the day Ryan took us to shore.  We returned to a decorated yacht.  Lesli had hung streamers/balloons and birthday decorations to celebrate my birthday.  She definitely went the extra mile to make sure I felt special! I feel like we made a couple of new friends in Lesli and Ryan.  I would definitely recommend them to someone interested in touring the Virgin Islands.

Thanks. Reggie, Colleyville, TX

February 28, 2021 Post Charter Review for Catamaran Azulia II

"We had a delightful week with Dan and Sarah aboard Azulia II.  They are both warm, positive, smart, and interesting people.  As Barn and I approach our 70th birthdays, the time together with our wives relaxing onboard in beautiful surroundings is really what appeals to us.  Dan and Sarah recognized that we were quite happy in and around the yacht without having the need or desire to off-board each day.  We enjoyed a hike in Reiff’s Bay, a snorkel somewhere (I forget where), swims around Azulia, sunbathing on board (Queen), a lunch at Lime-Out, and a dinner at ZoZo’s. 

I’ll answer your specific questions below:

1. Crew Friendliness: 

Wonderful.  Both Dan and Sarah are positive seeking to help their guests enjoy their week in any way they can.  We hit it off with them immediately and for the full duration of our stay.

2. Crew Knowledge: 

Outstanding.  We were fully confident in their expertise in every aspect of their work whether sailing, meals or repairs.  They also helped when I twinged my back and Mary cut her foot.

3. Quality of Service:

Excellent.  Always with a smile.

4. The Professionalism of Crew: 

Excellent.  It became clear quite quickly that our crew was eager to provide a high level of professionalism in all aspects of service.  Yet they displayed a genuine warmth and excitement that we enjoyed.  Crew and guests all enjoyed saying “Attitude”.  

5. Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter: 

Obviously the corona virus pandemic made this a more expensive trip than we had originally planned.  Nevertheless, Barn and Ginny and Mary and me felt the trip well worthwhile.  A week on Azulia was heaven.  The yacht is magnificent, well maintained and roomy (especially with just four guests).

6. On-Board Cuisine: 

Outstanding.  Sarah is an excellent chef.  You would be pleased.  We enjoyed fabulous meals every day. 

7. Destination / Location:

We thoroughly enjoyed exploring areas of St. Thomas and St. John but we did miss the BVI.  The past year has taught everyone to be more flexible and we thoroughly enjoyed our USVI sail.  I don’t think it will surprise you we hope to add the BVI back in future sails.

8. Quality & Variety of Water-Sports & Equipment : 

For our age, we are in excellent shape; however, water sports are no longer a priority.

9. Overall Satisfaction: 

10 of 10.  We loved it. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?  The sail yesterday from Magen’s Bay to Charlotte Amalie was a marvelous finale.  We “raced” another yacht head to head for much of the sail.  It was spectacular.

Thanks for all of your help to line up a perfect week.~The Platinum Club

February 25, 2021 Post Charter Review for Catamaran Neuroseas

1. Crew Friendliness:   Extremely friendly 2. Crew Knowledge:  Captain knew the routes, the best places to harbor, and brought us to some terrific locations. 3. Quality of Service:  Excellent 4. The Professionalism of Crew:   They were terrific, but not so professional that they were unable to fit in and be fun 5. Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter:  I didn't pay, so not sure! 6. On-Board Cuisine:   4 star - actually, probably 5 star.  Amazing food! 7. Destination / Location:  Delightful!  And a picnic on a small deserted beach one day that was breathtaking 8. Quality & Variety of Water-Sports & Equipment:  Good enough. 9. Overall Satisfaction:   VERY SATISFIED! We had a great time! 

January 13-20, 2021 Post Charter Review for Catamaran Rumba

We had a fabulous time.  This trip was with great friends that we have traveled with before and for our 24th anniversary!  We would definitely book again and loved every minute of it.  I wrote a review on google but wanted to include this below:

 on a 1-10 scale, 10 being the highest

1. Crew Friendliness:   10

2. Crew Knowledge:     10

3. Quality of Service:    8  (maybe a room towel and linen change at least one time)

4. The Professionalism of Crew:   10

5. Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter:   10

6. On-Board Cuisine:   9 (more seafood!!!  And maybe more attention to the preference sheet)

7. Destination / Location: 10 

8. Water-Sports:   11 on the snorkeling

9. Overall Satisfaction:   10

We had the best experience.  Hope this helps with your next charter.  It was our first charter so nothing to go off of and we had a fabulous time. The crew was awesome.  

November 21-27, 2020 Post Charter Review for Catamaran Ventana

1. Crew Friendliness:  A++

2. Crew Knowledge:   A++

3. Quality of Service:  A++

4. The Professionalism of Crew:   A++

5. Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter:   Well of course, we would love for it to cost less but you get what you pay for!

6. On-Board Cuisine:  OMGOSH:  THIS WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND IN EVERY WAY ON EVERY MEAL.   

If you have not experienced Christina's culinary extraordinaire experience, then I think you guys need to indulge.

7. Destination / Location:  Absolutely love the location of the USVI's and even more now that I do not want to spend our money where it is not welcomed, i.e., the BVI's

8. Water-Sports:   I did not personally do any water sports other than stand-up paddleboard and apparently, I am not very good but still had fun.  Kids loved them.

9. Overall Satisfaction:   Completely satisfied with all that you delivered.  We will go again when we can.

What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?    The Thanksgiving Feast prepared by Christina (Seafood Feast); Captain Richard's knowledge and love of what he is doing.  Pure relaxation and enjoyment had by our two families. 

Any additional comments you would like to make regarding your vacation experience?    We would highly recommend this charter by your company to others along with the recommendation of The Ventana, Capt. Richard and Christina as crew.  They worked themselves to the bone and did so with smiles and love.  Also, our driver that picked us up at the airport to dock and return was an absolutely wonderful man too.  I would recommend him as well.

We want to thank you for supplying us with all the information we needed to get through the COVIDmania traveling.  The only thing that could have made this trip better would have been to delete COVIDmania and allow us to be on shore together at a restaurant.  We usually enjoyed going ashore for a meal or two but didn't even bother since we could not sit together and wanted to avoid all the hysteria.

Again, thank you for a memorable experience.

November 23, 2020,  Post-Charter Review for Catamaran Karma

1. Crew Friendliness:  Absolutely fantastic, great couple, very professional as crew, they crushed it!


2. Crew Knowledge:  Very good. Capt.Tom knows his way around a boat and seems to be able to fix anything. He’s a little less experienced with the nuances of finding the perfect mooring spot or dive site for the conditions (but we are experienced divers and he knew that), eating places, but knew all the beautiful places to see and made sure we found them. Always safe, professional, both are good sailors, super friendly, lovely, and helpful. Hannah is an absolute gem and the two of them work very well together, patient with changes or requests, never intrusive. We really want to adopt them and keep them forever!!


3. Quality of Service: Excellent


4. The Professionalism of Crew:  Excellent 5. Value of the Charter:  We got a great deal in my opinion. Obviously, the charter was discounted by a huge amount. We didn’t eat out very much (only one lunch and one dinner) because Hannah was an excellent chef and the way the itinerary worked, we really ended up in remote places, but we liked that! 6. On-Board Cuisine:  Excellent 7. Destination / Location: Great. I like the BVIs better because of the variety, but we sailed to St Croix which was a first for me, and there are plenty of places around St John and STT to play and enjoy. 8. Water-Sports:  Great, both Tom and Hannah did a great job facilitating diving both from the dinghy and the yacht, Tom came snorkeling (and diving of course) with us, we used the paddleboards and floats a lot, wish we could’ve done some tubing which we didn’t have time to try. 9. Overall Satisfaction: Amazingly wonderful.  Can't wait to do it again. 


What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?    ~Sleeping under the stars on the flybridge, star gazing, diving, body surfing at Trunk Bay, conversations, being under sail (cant pick just one) 
Any additional comments you would like to make regarding your vacation experience?  Thank you so much for finding us this option. We couldn’t be more pleased with everything! N. Ehrhart, Colorado

1. Crew Friendliness:  Never having done something similar, I didn’t know what to expect from the crew.  After our trip, I can't imagine how we could find a better crew.  Not only were they highly professional, they also provided the perfect mix of engagement and space.  They knew exactly when and how to interact with us.  This crew was outstanding!

"The trip with Captain Jake and Stephanie on Catamaran Dreamcatcher was over the top. They are extremely professional and amazing. Each meal was delicious. They provided everything we wanted. They know the area very well. Each location they took us to was perfect. The main point that really stands out is their knowledge of sailing. We hit a strong storm (45 knots). We never felt unsafe because they worked together as a team. I HIGHLY recommend this crew.

You will be hearing from us again as our hope is to repeat this same trip next year and extending it for a full week. Overall this was a fabulous vacation. Working with YachtCharters.Guru on the planning was great. We are definitely going to give you guys a well-deserved review.

Thank you again for all the time and work to give us this perfect vacation.

Thank you, Capt. Kyle, Chef Tim and Stew Miranda for a fab week aboard Catamaran Dolphin Daze ! Lots of great memories were made; Foxy's (bug bites & all!), a day of pain killer drinks on the beach at the Soggy Dollar Bar and a wonderful windy celebration at the full moon party at Trellis Bay were just a few of the highlights. Ava loved her scuba diving experience & Carson couldn't get enough of jumping off the top of the boat over & over again. Thanks for all the great memories, tasty food & delicious drinks. Team Canada! Michael, Miranda, Ava, Carson, Kathy & Admiral Tom

“Brittany & Michael on Catamaran Tabula Rasa , Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!! We could not have asked for nor could we imagine any better pair to Captain a week of magic for our family. We LOVED every minute learning from y’all, playing with y’all in and out of the water, and getting to know y’all this week. Thank you for spoiling us in every way possible. We had the BEST week on Tabula Rasa. All thanks to the calm, relaxing, balanced with fun and positive energy you both exude. Did you ever imagine so many questions could be asked? Wishing you both the best until we meet again!

Capt. Dylan & Chef Gi on Catamaran Slivochka

Thank you for making this first voyage for our kiddos such a success! Jack & I have dreamed of introducing then to such a vacation. Your patience, attention to all of the details, and special touches made it a perfect trip. Magdalene (9 yrs old) will forever remember the snorkeling, getting to touch a jellyfish diving down to touch a rock, seeing a grand sea turtle, and of course her new special friend “Rob” the Conch. :) Capt. Dylan, your patience & guidance helped make all of these things possible. Jaxie (8 yrs old) loved sitting on the nets with the wind blowing on her face, snorkeling tubing & of course the early morning chats with you both. Maverick (4 yrs old) first tubing experience, searching for shells, and he will likely keep dreaming of Gi’s sweets for years to come! Truly, a wonderful, fabulous journey with you both. The pirate Thanksgiving lunch was a terrific treat.

Until next time,

Amanda & Jack, Magdalene, Jaxie & Maverick

 “We are having the time of our lives here with Captain Ben and Michelle on Catamaran Excess . They are taking the very best care of us. We explored all of the island today and plan on doing some diving in the morning.” 

~Mark & Courtnia, Georgia

July 20, 2019

We just completed a week in Greece aboard charter catamaran Sea Energy V for 10 guests. For most people chartering a boat is a big deal. It's a financial commitment and requires advanced planning. I would only want to charter a boat using Capt. Randy & Shelly via YachtCharters.Guru as our broker. They were the key to making the entire process smooth and stressfree all the way from the boat selection, the contract review, answering a million questions that we had, plus coordinating with the boat captain. Professionalism and customer service were 100%. Our vacation was spectacular! The boat, meals and the crew, and our itinerary exceeded our expectations. Shelly even checked in with us during the trip to ensure we were happy. Thank you for being a big part of making our dream vacation come true! 

June 23, 2019

Shelly & Capt. Randy Tucker at Yacht Charters Gurus are truly top-of-the-line professionals and I can't recommend them highly enough! They helped us plan an amazing crewed charter vacation to Greece on Catamaran Valium 62 and were available both during the trip and in the months leading up to it with answers to all our questions, even the silliest ones. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and responsive and I highly recommend them! We will be using YachtCharters.Guru again soon!

Our charter on Valium 62 beat all expectations. Wonderful food, friendly people, beautiful country. The Valium 62 was definitely our favorite part. We were spoiled rotten for 7 days while cruising the Cyclades by the fantastic crew who we now call our friends. I highly recommend it!

What can we say about our vacation with Jason, Kate and Miss T on 62' Catamaran Foxy Lady ? We’ve been blessed to take some nice trips in our life and this was, without question, the best vacation we’ve ever taken. A fabulous vessel with attention to detail, kindness, service, creativity, amazing food, fishing, snorkeling, skiing, tubing, wake-boarding, exploring, special attention to birthday celebrations (two 50-year-olds and one forty-year-old celebration), games, laughter, music, friendship....we could go on and on. 

One more important note, the captain and crew treated our 13-year-olds like their own, constantly keeping them entertained and having fun; which is not always easy. I would trust them again with our children...100%. We also knew safety was the top priority from the moment we stepped on our boat.

When we left for home, we were sad to see the week go by so fast but happy to have gained three new friends. My hope is that we can stay in touch and cross paths again.

Thank you Kate, Jason, and Miss T!

Much love, The Kelso’s and Hawkins

"We all truly enjoyed our cruise on Xenia 62 last week … Myself, Paul, our daughter, and her family ... The boys were particularly delighted to enjoy all the warm weather activities a couple of months ahead of our summertime! Both Capt.

“Our most recent charter on Catamaran Bagheera was perfect for our group with a great time enjoyed by all - great food, beautiful beaches. Wonderful memories for all! We have worked with Randy and Shelly Tucker over the past 10 years. We are so loyal because they always exceed our exceptions and perform at the highest level. We just returned from a weeklong charter in the BVI’s on a yacht they brokered through their Yacht Charters Guru business: our trip was amazing and a 100% success!” D&A, New Mexico

February 2019

The crew on Catamaran THE ANNEX was really a nice group of people.  First Mate Lloyd just smiled and laughed the whole time.  Chef Jess was very sweet and warm and Capt. Ricky kept us moving.  And yes, it was a very good idea to have dinner with them early on as we did get to know them quicker.

"We chartered Catamaran PLAYTIME  out of St. Thomas and sailed around the BVI’s for the week. Fabulous!!" Donna, Franklin TN ~ June 16, 2018 

"I polled our group that went on a charter vacation aboard Catamaran ULTRA  and they all said that they would do it again! Jack, NY ~ May 20, 2018

"Everyone had a wonderful time. I thought 10 days was the perfect amount of time onboard Catamaran  MANNA . Wayne & Emily bent over backward to make sure we were happy. I liked how Wayne made sure everyone was comfortable scuba diving and he is a good instructor. The boat was nice and we thought it was the perfect size for 6 guests. Emily is a great cook. The whole experience was good & we would like to book Catamaran Manna again!” Stuart, Marathon, FL ~ May 15, 2018

"We loved Catamaran MARIANN .    Thanks for the recommendation! We will definitely do it again...not soon enough!" Michelle, TN May 14, 2018

"Yacht Charters Guru was the best for planning our charter. Shelly answered all our questions promptly and we enjoyed every minute of our vacation!!"🏝Christine ~ March 9, 2018

"110%!! You are the epitome of what excellent customer service/experience feels and looks like. From the moment I first made an online inquiry you have been attentive, thoughtful, asked all the right questions, didn’t beat around the bush and kept us very informed. You provide a very personalized touch and approach. Extremely attentive and responsive. You have been just wonderful!”

 "Really wonderful and helpful company, look forward to booking with them again in the future."

"Randy and Shelly know everything there is to know about booking your charter yacht vacation. They've been guests and chartered themselves. They are literally experts in this arena. You won't be disappointed."

"We had a superior experience booking a yacht with Yacht Charters Guru! We look forward to returning to the Caribbean for a crewed yacht charter. Thanks y'all for helping us make the most of our vacation!"

"Our family had a "once in a lifetime" trip with Yacht Charters Guru! From the moment we booked our boat to the very end of our vacation Shelly helped us every step of the way. She gave us advice on everything from where to fly into and her favorite places to visit in the islands. Even though we said it was "once in a lifetime" we can't wait to do it again!"

"Quick to respond to our questions and great with matching the right yacht for our interests & needs! I can't wait to sail again!"

"Very pleased with the yacht and location!" ~SEF

You all had your hands full with the Chris 50th Birthday Cruising and Boozing Crew on Catamaran LIR . We were greeted with smiles and hospitality that never ended!! The boat remained spotless, the food amazing and the sailing beautiful. We were able to get everyone in and out of the tender without any oops! HA HA HA. Chris´s birthday lobster feast was so well set up and well beyond what we expected. We enjoyed a 21lbs Turkey, which only just fitted the oven! It was an absolute feast! Night time fish watching and star gazing. We are BLESSED to have shared this experience with both sets of our parents and two best friends that are like family. 

-Greg Vanessa and Amanda are the perfect trio- complementing each other with a full team effort. We cannot thank you enough for making memories of this trip we each will cherish!!! -Chris & Mel and Birthday Crew

Melanie said it all! Thank you for the wonderful adventure! XXOO - Mike and Barb

Ditto. Thank you for the unforgettable adventures!! You guys are a wonderful crew! -Mike and Sherry

Hey Guys, great job! The food was very, very good including the service. Thanks for giving our son Chris, the best 50th birthday party ever! Thanksgiving dinner was better than best . . . amazing! Hope you enjoyed the music! When we get home and look at the pictures, we will be able to enjoy the trip over and over again! Thanks so much for being a part of our lives! God Bless all of you! -With our love, Bob & Bernie

From Nancy:  "We sailed aboard the yacht Kestrel with Captain Andrew & Chef/ First Mate Kailee July 1st to 8th. There were 8 of us which included our children & grandkids. By far this was our best vacation ever! The boat was spacious, clean, and well maintained and exceeded our expectations. Andrew took us to amazing snorkeling locations, fun, beach bars, shopping, and made sure our every wish was executed perfectly. My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary aboard and Andrew served as our officiate for our vow renewal (which was a surprise to me). Kailee was an amazing chef even baked us a special cake for our anniversary. We had 3 hot meals every day that was wonderful. Andrew and Kailee were such great hosts I got teary when we left. It felt as though we were leaving family. We will cherish the great memories of this vacation." 

From Joe:  "I was happy that the crew knew immediately how to get in the groove with the younger people on the boat. Of course, Nancy & I didn't have a clue what they were talking about most of the time; but we really liked how the crew connected with everyone. Andrew did a super great job of performing a mock wedding ceremony to celebrate our 20th anniversary and the cake was fantastic. The cabins & beds were plenty big enough. The yacht is really clean & in good shape. I liked how Andrew always managed to anchor away from all the other boats. That gave us some nice space on a busy week. We may never be able to pay for a trip like this for our family again, but we sure are happy that we did it once on catamaran Kestrel."

"It was truly one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. The crew on  Catamaran Lolalita  couldn't have done anything better. They were very easy to be around, friendly, humorous & fun to hang around with. All this while doing their jobs with ease & always trying to accommodate us in all areas. We felt like they were part of our "family". They made this trip extremely enjoyable. They were very knowledgeable about all aspects of the boat & made us feel very secure. Every meal was top notch, tasty & presentation was always beautiful. The charter was well worth every penny we paid. Never being to BVI, everywhere we went was better than the one before in some way. Loved it all! Capt. Gio knew exactly where to go for good, dives, snorkeling or to just sit back & enjoy the beauty. There was plenty of things for all of us to do. Overall satisfaction was definitely a 10/10 for me. Can't wait to be able to do it again!! Thanks for all that you did for us YachtCharters.Guru!" ~ L. Thompson, North Carolina

May 23, 2017 Thanks for arranging this amazing trip for us aboard  Catamaran Amara !!!! We have loved every second, and Nathan and Penny are the best!!!!"

April 3, 2017 To  Catamaran Eclipse : Capt. Jack, Jaimey & Mel- We had a wonderful week with you guys. I find it incredible that you can pay attention to all of the details and be so laid back & fun to be with at the same time. The boat, the food, the water sports, the BVI's were all fantastic. Thanks for Everything!

~C. Fernandes, Texas

March 14, 2017 The crew of Catamaran XENIA 74  was very friendly, professional & very knowledgeable about sailing and the Virgin Islands. The service was impeccable! The value of the cost of the charter was good! Cuisine was awesome! The Crew took care of everything! All water sports were offered. We would book Xenia 74 again. Loved every minute and will definitely contact you again for our next charter. Will also share your info with anyone interested in traveling to the BVI! Many thanks! L. Aldridge

March 14, 2017 Allison and I couldn’t of asked for a better trip on catamaran  Xenia 74  and staff than any event we’ve ever been on! We give them “10’s” across the board! Please don’t do anything different because you have one hell of a process in play! Thanks again for all you and the crew did to ensure our wonderful vacation!

March 3, 2017 My favorite memory of our tandem yacht charter trip aboard  Catamaran Akasha  &  Catamaran Bamarandi  was simply watching the bonding of all of our children & grandchildren with each other. I loved watching all the little cousins play in the water. The food on both yachts was exquisite! I cannot say enough about how both the crews were always there for us, offering whatever we needed and checking on us. This trip was a great way for 13 people to travel together. I particularly liked how whenever I called Shelly at YachtCharters.Guru, no matter if it was day or night, she was always there to answer the phone and my questions. I will miss our regular phone calls! We so appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thanks so very much! Rose Marie Bravo and Bill Jackey

March 3, 2017 Hello, Shelly. We just wanted to say thank you for all your help organizing our family’s tandem vacation on  Catamaran Bamarandi . What a wonderful time away we all had. It far surpassed any expectations we may have had, and will be the topic of choice when discussing our best memories for years to come. As our family spent most of our time on board Bamarandi, we felt it would be appropriate to comment on our experience. From the first time we stepped on deck, we were welcomed with open hearts. Donald and Audrey worked tirelessly to ensure we were always comfortable, entertained, and extremely well cared for and well-fed! We were so impressed with their level of professionalism and competence. They were always mindful of our children, whether it was looking out for their safety while playing with all the amazing toys, instructing and leading them in scuba diving, or just spending time entertaining them with Caribbean stories, history and card tricks! Of course, the kids enjoyed their time with Richard as well, who made our stay so comfortable, they were wishing he would come home with us!! The boat itself is lovely and modern. It was meticulously kept and very comfortable for our large family of 7. There’s just something so relaxing about being gently rocked to sleep each night! We can’t say enough about our vacation on board the Bamarandi. Our only warning to future guests would be to take care, because once you sail with them, you may never want to go anywhere else ever again! Best regards, Chris and Diane Jackey

Ava M. February 24, 2017 We had been waiting for the moment to board the  Catamaran Lotus  for MONTHS! Our time on the Lotus lived up to all the expectations we had. it is going to be almost impossible to ever go back to a resort or to go back to every night cooking, because the Lotus crew spoiled us (We enjoyed it very much). It was wonderful watching Carson jump in the water and go snorkeling for the first time by himself. I loved my birthday experience! It's something I will never forget! See you next time! Ava, Carson, Miranda, Michael, Tom & Kathy

February 21, 2017 Our charter with Drumbeat 1 was great. Vince and the crew were terrific. I think everyone on the boat had a great time. The food was great and the service on the boat was great. About all I can say is that everything was great. It was a very memorable trip. Thanks for all of your help, GM

Catamaran Felix

The crew was wonderful. Kayla and Chris fit in with our family perfectly and made us feel comfortable and at home aboard Felix. Their humor and knowledge were both greatly appreciated!

The food was fantastic; Chris truly spoiled us! I personally have a challenging diet with several allergies and he made sure every meal felt complete vs feeling like an “allergy friendly” meal. And it was all delicious!

The yacht was very comfortable and clean. It had all of the accommodations we needed - nothing was missing... I enjoyed the various different viewpoints to sit or lounge at while we went from island to island.

The weather in Croatia is perfect for sailing with warm dry summers, averaging into the low 90s (30c). The wind varies between force 2 and 5, normally prevailing from the northwest. The sailing season in Croatia begins in May and lasts until October.

The best time to go on a Croatia catamaran charter is May, June or September to avoid the crowds of people in the marinas and tourist hot spots. Although this being said, anytime throughout the summer is great just beware of the crowds.

On a Croatia catamaran charter, you will be sailing in total comfort, catamarans are luxurious, spacious, filled with all amenities and make for great places to relax.

Places To Visit. Croatia is a country which has been gaining in popularity not only for yacht charters but for travellers in general. Tourism numbers are increasing due to the countries good value for money, the picturesque islands of Brac, Hvar, Mljet, Vis, Zlarin and Kornati, deserted coves, the unique cities of Split, Dubrovnik, and Zadar, as well as great beaches, the small fishing towns of Sibenik and Skradin.

Multiple Itineraries. In Croatia, we have a large number of boats available for charter. Being one of the best sailing locations in the world Croatia has boats available in marinas all over the country, depending on what itinerary you desire.

What Boats Are Available. For a Croatia catamaran charter, the boats available are the following (this list depends and varies on the availability at the time of the request and what boats are available for your chosen dates).

  • Lagoon 380, 560, 440, 39, 42, 450 S and 400 S2
  • Bali 4.0, 4.5 or 4.3
  • Nautitech Open 40

Perfect For Everyone. A Croatia catamaran charter is perfect for families, groups of friends and some boats can accommodate 8+ guests. The two hulls of the catamarans allow for up to four cabins one in each corner of the hull, with spacious rooms in between. This offers privacy in cabins as well as large social areas. The deck and saloon of the boats are spacious with both inside and outside seating, ideal for dining or socializing. The saloons offer 360-degree views with big windows which also offer an abundance of natural light.

Luxury Accomodation. All catamarans offer luxury with comfortable beds and seating areas, as well as outside areas to sunbathe or hangout. Some of the larger catamarans also offer small crew cabins, at the very front of the boats as well as a fold out bed in the saloons.

Experience Multiple Places. Chartering a catamaran in Croatia is one of the best ways to experience the country. On a Croatia catamaran charter, you can relax in luxury, a catamarans shallow draft allows for access to shallow water bays, moorings close to beaches, and access to places monohull boats can’t reach.

Quick Sailing. A catamaran can also sail quicker thanks to its design and aerodynamics through the water, which means you can get from A to B quicker allowing for more time to explore, swim or relax.

Wider Boats. One downside to Croatia catamaran charters is that catamarans are much wider than monohull boats, so have to allow for more space when mooring in marinas, Croatia’s marinas tend to be small also so booking larger spaces in advance is a must, especially in the summer months. Although this is true catamarans are stable boats and offer a pleasant night under anchor, which also save on costs when booking into marinas.

Sailing Itineraries. On a Croatia catamaran charter, you can take whichever route you desire, depending on what you what to see and explore. Croatia has lots of options for itineraries, whether you want to visit islands, villages, cities or just anchor in a cove and escape the crowds.

Enjoy gourmet cuisine at the contemporary Cooper Island Beach Club and Oil Nut Bay on Virgin Gorda, or sample some of the finest Caribbean lobster on Anegada. Read our BVI Top Attractions  overview to plan your island-hopping adventure, designed by our knowledgeable Charter Experts .

When comparing a crewed BVI catamaran charter to a 5-star resort vacation, you get a great deal more onboard your very own luxury catamaran with all food, drinks, amenities, and activities included in the price. Experience the freedom to discover wherever the waters take you, taking in the incredible scenery and staying at a new island every night - with, of course, a sea view. For a similar experience, set sail in the neighboring US Virgin Islands , or incorporate this area into your BVI itinerary.

BVI YACHT CHARTER FAQ'S

  • Can I fly into the BVI for my charter? While flights in and out of St. Thomas remain the most popular pick, typically due to preferred routes, flight times, and pricing, our other suggested option is to take a commercial flight in and out of San Juan, Puerto Rico with a connecting flight to the BVI and back. We will assist with connecting flight recommendations or with private charter flight reservations either from Puerto Rico to the BVI and back or from St. Thomas to the BVI and back.
  • What’s the best way to get to the BVI and back from St. Thomas? Many of our clients take private water taxis from St. Thomas to the BVI and back for their charters. While more expensive than a commercial ferry, this option offers a faster and far more seamless, luxury experience. Once your flights are confirmed, we’ll be happy to assist with water taxi reservations.
  • If I fly into St. Thomas, can my charter start and end there? While the crewed fleet was able to offer St. Thomas ports and a BVI itinerary through July 2023, crewed charters that occur in the BVI after October 2023 will require a BVI pick-up and drop-off.

Had an amazing 7-night trip in Mauritius! Huge thanks to Victoria and the team for making the booking seemless experience Would highly recommend Helm and will be doing another trip with them!

Date of experience : October 22, 2023

Reply from HELM

Hey Garrett, thanks for the review! We're all so happy you had an amazing time in Mauritius - bring on the next trip! :)

I do not recommend booking with Helm…

I do not recommend booking with Helm for a charter. The boat they reserved for us had a dinghy with an inoperable engine (we lost a full day of sailing because it had to be removed by a mechanic, repaired, and then reinstalled 8 hours later). Worse, the bilge clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The main cabin smelled like a public toilet after a music festival and the stench of human feces was absorbed by all of our clothing. Everywhere we went, we smelled like human waste. It was nauseating. Peter, one of the scam artists who run this company, refused to do anything meaningful to make this better. We spent over $12,000 to rent a partially inoperable public toilet with no customer service to support us.

Date of experience : August 01, 2023

Dear Jenna, As expressed to you, we were disappointed that you weren’t happy with your experience with Dream Yacht Charter, after booking a last minute charter on the Saona 47 Catamaran. We are confused as to how you think we as an agent defrauded you, when we booked exactly the boat we confirmed to you, further no complaint was made during your charter, it was only after the charter when you returned that you identified these issues to us. On receipt of these as a company we always responded promptly to you, and tried to negotiate on your behalf with Dream Yacht Charter, who were the principal responsible for your charter. We are sorry you didn’t agree with their offer of compensation, as I’m sure you can understand once the charter is over we are limited with what we can do. We always want our clients to be happy, and we pride ourselves on doing our best for our clients when things do go wrong, we are sorry this is not how you viewed our services. Warm regards, The HELM team

We started planning this trip about a year ago and Helm charters was so helpful and patient with my many questions along the way. We loved our boat and the crew and highly recommend Helm for boat charters. We hope to plan another adventure with Helm in the future.

Date of experience : January 13, 2024

Thank you for the wonderful review, Lauren! Marcus is so glad he could help you plan your charter, and he looks forward to your next one already!

HELM were great

HELM were great. We dealt with Zach and Victoria who were helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Next time we will go straight to HELM rather than considering multiple brokers.

Date of experience : September 30, 2023

Hi Al, thank you for the kind review - we are delighted that you found Zach and Victoria to be so helpful, and look forward to planning your future charters!

These guys know what they're doing!

Our yacht trip booked through Victoria was such a smooth ride and a great experience! We booked a one-week chartered yacht through Helm, and they were such a great broker. The concept is brilliant, in stead of contacting lots of different owners to figure out what we wanted to do, Helm had several prepared suggestions, knew where we could easily fly to, and guided us well through any questions that we had along the way. 10/10 recommend!

Date of experience : October 08, 2023

Thanks for the lovely review, Maria! Victoria is delighted you had a wonderful trip :)

Phuket Yacht Charter

Great one week yacht charter out of Phuket Yacht Haven with Island Spirit arranged through Helm.yt. Charter was very well organised and coordinated between Island Spirit and Helm.yt. Phang Nga Bay, Thailand is a great place to sail. Many thanks for all your effort and assistance.

Date of experience : November 18, 2023

Thanks for the brilliant review, Michael! We're delighted we could deliver another great charter for you. Thailand really is special. We look forward to welcoming you back next time!

Saronic Gulf Charter

We contacted Helm to book a one week bare boat catamaran charter out of Athens in mid September. Our experience with Helm and their local agent FyLy in Athens was nothing short of excellent. We were given a superb deal on a brand new Astrea 42 which was the ideal boat for our party of 6 retired sailors. Helm made planning our trip to Greece very easy with full details on the boat, suggested itinerary and booking of transport from the airport to the Marina. Their agent gave us full support at Alimos marina and during our cruise around the Saronic Gulf. We would recommend Helm to anyone considering a bare boat charter in the Mediterranean

Date of experience : September 16, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Chris - it was a pleasure to arrange your Astrea 42 charter and we're delighted you had such an enjoyable time in the Saronic!

Top Service and a quality yacht in beautiful Croatia!

Thank you to Helm for arranging our sailing holiday. In particular, thanks to Zach for the time he took to locate available yachts that suited our training certification and the dates we needed, as it was short notice! We hadn't sailed in Croatia before and had a fabulous time. We had all our queries answered on the lead up to our departure and got accurate information on the marina and contact details there. The yacht we hired was top quality for its age and overall great value for money. Everything was as promised!

Date of experience : September 09, 2023

Thanks for the kind review, Ray! Zach is delighted he was able to help make your charter happen at short notice and deliver exceptional value for you! :)

It was the single greatest experience of my life.

Put it this way, when asked how it went by the team, this is what I sent back: "I kid you not - It was the single greatest experience of my life. I bloody loved it. Send me a link for a public review and consider it done."

Date of experience : December 10, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Ben - Marcus and the team are delighted you had such a wonderful time and we look forward to helping with your next charter!

The whole team at HELM made our holiday…

The whole team at HELM made our holiday experience wonderful, taking away all the stresses and strains from us. Any queries about our holiday plans were quickly addressed. We couldn't ask for more and we look forward to using HELM's services again.

Date of experience : October 13, 2023

Thank you for the review and your very kind words. We're ready for your next charter as soon as you are!

catamaran charter - Greece cyclades

I chartered a catamaran though HELM for a Greek holiday. All arrangements worked as expected and we had a great holiday. All the staff I dealt with at HELM were very courteous and efficient. One point of feedback is there was little or no continuity as people left the business so a couple of things fell through the gaps, but were recovered without issue. I would use HELM again - thankyou!

Date of experience : September 23, 2023

Hi Ed, thank you for the kind words and nice review. We are reviewing our continuity processes to help make things as smooth as possible in future!

Thank you Jack & thank you Helm!

Jack from Helm helped us find a boat & plan a trip with just 2 weeks till we departed! When I initially called and told him mid-august (it was end of july) he thought I was talking about the following year. No issue - Jack found us a beautiful 45 foot cat and we got paired with a wonderful skipper. Couldn't have been a better week in the adriatic. 10/10 would recommend.

Date of experience : August 13, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Hunter! Jack was delighted to find you such a good last-minute deal in Croatia and is excited to finalise your upcoming Caribbean trip.

The Perfect Trip

We had a trip of a lifetime on the Sinata Sunreef. Martin, Nicola & Hana were outstanding and made the experience unforgettable with amazing food, service and meaningful conversations. We went the first week of October and the weather was perfect. I wish I could offer some constructive feedback but the trip was perfect. HELM was informative and helped steer us to the best boat for our group. Victoria from HELM was very helpful coordinating logistics before our trip which helped relieve a lot of stress. Highly recommend HELM and the Sinata.

Date of experience : October 01, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Cody. Victoria and the team are delighted you had such a good charter aboard Sinata, and we all look forward to arranging your next one!

New to chartering - great experience

As someone new to chartering, Toby was patient and extremely helpful. I didn’t have a huge budget, but was always made to feel supported throughout the process. He helped me decide where to sail with itinerary information, and helped advise me on a million other questions I had. Our charter in Greece was the highlight of our trip, made extra special by the information and responsiveness of Victoria on restaurants and places to go that would fit with our itinerary. We will absolutely use HELM again, and have already started planning our next trip. I’ve also recommended them to quite a few other people. Thank you to Toby, Victoria and the rest of the team!

Date of experience : August 26, 2023

Hi Christian, Thanks for the very kind review! Toby says it was an absolute pleasure arranging your charter, and he is excited to help finalise your plans for the next one. Thank you also for the recommendations - it means a lot to us as a growing business!

Wife's 40th Birthday BVI Experience

Helm and Libby found us the best Cats and Crew in the BVIs! It's really the details that separate the good from great inside of an experience. I was impressed with the ability to curate a very unique voyage with a ton of special requests. I was genuinely impressed every single day!

Date of experience : October 20, 2023

Thanks so much for the kind review, James! We are all so delighted that your wife had a great surprise birthday, and Libby says it was her absolute pleasure to help arrange your charter.

Just finished with Vas and Kelly

Just finished with Vas and Kelly. They were amazing, so caring , so attentive to us and the boat, cannot recommend them highly enough, incredible people, I am sure all the feedback is always positive. They were perfect, thank you John for your recommendation, communication and advice. Troy, Amanda, Rose, Henry.

Hi Troy, thanks so much for the review, John is delighted you had a great charter with Vas and Kelly!

Aeolian Islands Family Day-HELM Sicily

I booked a day charter from Capo d'Orlando, Sicily to the Aeolian Islands. We swam around Lipari and Vulcano. If we had enough energy we could have zoomed off to Salina also. The crew of Aerre Sicily Charter, Captain Carlo and his Skipper Angelo were kind, social, and great hosts. We had fruit to snack on and for lunch we had enough food to feed at least 15 people, we were a party of 7. They could accommodate other requests with advanced notice. We probably used about 1/3rd of the vessel's gas, easy fill up with American Express. I would definitely book this charter again.

Date of experience : September 10, 2023

Hi Nicholas, thank you for the very kind review! We're so glad you had a lovely day charter and look forward to arranging your next trip!

Libby at the Helm was professional

Libby at the Helm was professional, attentive, and responsive. She made the experience of chartering a boat for the Greek islands seamless. From start to finish, she answered all questions and concerns and guided us on an AMAZING trip—the Valium 62 with Captain Stefano and his crew. Yianni and David super exceeded our expectations. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with HELM & Libby!

Date of experience : June 22, 2023

Thanks Georgia, we really appreciate the 5-star review :). Libby is delighted you had a great time on Valium 62, and is ready to help plan your next trip whenever you are!

Croatian Boat Charters

We would recommend Helm for organising your next boat charter. They booked us into an excellent charter company & maintained contact with us all the way through the process from booking to charter. I was very impressed with the service & they were highly responsive to my queries.

Date of experience : August 05, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Brad. It was a pleasure to arrange your charter and we look forward to helping plan the next one!

Poorly managed catamaran charter

We recently chartered a ‘Lagoon 52F catamaran with skipper’ to sail the Dalmatian coastline that was brokered by HELM (UK) with Adriatic Sailing (Split). As we planned to sail from Dubrovnik to Split, we paid a ‘one-way charter fee (€780)’, to cover the fuel used and crew needed to relocate the catamaran to Dubrovnik to be ready to sail no later than 5pm on Saturday (or earlier pending approval from the skipper). We understood that if they (Adriatic Sailing) were able to secure a charter from Split to Dubrovnik in the preceding week (typically 7 days) then as the catamaran would already be in Dubrovnik on Saturday, the ‘one-way charter fee’ would be simply refundable. In this scenario the mooring fee would be payable by the previous charter as it arrived on Friday and had to stay overnight at the marina. This all seemed logical and reasonable. Prior to the start of the charter, we reviewed the contract (welcome package, Wi-Fi (75 GB/week), dinghy, outboard engine with full fuel tank, bed sheets & towels, beach towels, snorkelling gear, coffee machine + 10 capsules, ice maker, cooking gas and final cleaning) with HELM. Great idea. This review identified that two (2) requested stand up paddle boards (SUP) had been omitted and that ‘snorkelling gear’ actually meant that only two (2) sets would be available, despite the fact that the catamaran was licensed to hold 12 passengers. We incurred an additional rental charge of €60 for eight (8) sets of snorkelling gear and at our request we also rented a BBQ for €90. These additional monies would be paid on departure from the Dubrovnik marina at the Adriatic Sailing office. When we all arrived at the marina after lunch on Saturday, we were advised there had been a delay in cleaning of the catamaran (i.e. last in the que) and that it wouldn’t be ready until just before 5pm. When we eventually got onto the catamaran a number of problems, some big, some small, appeared: 1. all the dirty linen/water toys (kayak, extra SUP, extra snorkelling gear) from the previous charter had been NOT been relocated to the Adriatic Sailing office BUT placed in and blocked the skipper’s toilet cabin WITHOUT our approval. As a consequence, my wife and I had to share our cabin’s toilet facilities with the skipper for the duration of the charter 2. Adriatic Sailing informed us that we had to pay €170 for rental of the kayak, despite the fact we hadn’t ordered it and that it was left on the catamaran from the previous charter 3. marina required us to pay the outstanding mooring fee (€208), when clearly this was part of the previous charter as it had moored overnight on Friday 4. catamaran was NOT checked properly by Adriatic Sailing for our charter as: • main shelf in the kitchen fridge door was cracked and was held together with masking tape. Needless to say, it broke as soon as we left the marina • there was a periodic but strong sewage smell in the cabins which was discussed with the skipper. It appeared shortly after leaving Dubrovnik and then returned frequently during the charter • Wifi went down (day 2/3) as this hadn’t been topped up from the previous charter despite the contract stating we had access to 75GBq/week • kitchen stove ran-out of gas as the gas cylinder had not been refilled after the previous charter. We had to resort to boiling water on the BBQ which the used up all the gas. So neither the kitchen stove or BBQ worked • shower fitting in one cabin was broken which had to be taped together so it would work. We recognise that problems will occur. However, the majority of the problems detailed above should have been identified before our charter began. We discussed these problems with the skipper and then with HELM many times after the charter had finished. HELM’s negotiation with Adriatic Sailing was NOT very helpful or particularly successful. Eventually, Adriatic Sailing provided refund for the mooring fee (€208), kayak hire (€170) and €100 reimbursement for transporting the dirty linen back to Split. They refused to provide any compensation for the inconvenience caused by not preparing the catamaran properly for our charter; the skipper having to use one of the passenger’s cabin toilets/shower facilities for the duration of the charter, or a refund the ‘one way charter fee’ of €780 (despite the fact that this service was NEVER supplied). Looking back on our experience with Adriatic Sailing and Helm I would be very hesitant to ever use or recommend them. Adriatic Sailing seem quite happy to put their commercial interest first and to charge for services that were NOT provided or asked for (e.g. ‘one way charter fee’, kayak, mooring fee etc). I am sure there are other more reputable charter companies whom International tourists should use when visiting the Dalmatian coastline.

Hi Peter, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are naturally disappointed that you feel that you didn’t have a wholly positive experience, and hope you were still able to enjoy the Dalmatian Coast. As discussed with you, you booked a charter with a one-way add-on. You collected the yacht in Dubrovnik and disembarked in Split, and the one-way charter was supplied. Adriatic Sailing are a fleet operator we work with regularly, and they have a track record of delivering excellent charters. We are sorry that you feel this wasn’t the case in your experience. We always want our clients to be happy, and we pride ourselves on doing our best for our clients when things do go wrong, we are sorry this is not how you viewed our services. We apologise for the mistakes we made regarding the marina fees communication and missing the note on the kayak, but we were honest in admitting fault and reimbursing you. We were also able to secure you €100 compensation for the gas and linen issues. Once again, we apologise that your charter didn’t live up to your expectations, and we hope to be able to deliver a better experience on your next trip. Warm regards, The HELM team

Horizon Yacht Charters Reviews - Charters

At Horizon, we aim to provide the best possible service available when you charter in the Caribbean. The latest Horizon Yacht Charters reviews reflect this in spades.

Many larger companies cannot match the level of customer service and personal attention that you will receive from us at Horizon Yacht Charters. Meticulously maintained yachts, one-on-one boat and chart briefings by our friendly and knowledgeable staff ensure a great sailing vacation and good value for money too.

If you would like to share your experience please email us . Alternatively, our full list of contact details can be found online here .

Here’s a selection of what our valued guests have said about us in their latest Horizon Yacht charters testimonials:

Paul Barden , 5-12 March '24 — Lagoon 42 catamaran (2023) 'Wanderlust' This is our third time with Horizon (Grenada once and BVI twice). Overall, we have been very pleased with the Horizon staff and the quality and condition of the boats we have chartered. We had one minor electrical issue on board the first night which we quickly resolved with a phone call back to the on call manager. The online video chart briefing and boat briefing were a nice addition since our last charter. Thanks again for a great week. We will return!
Leonard Andrychuk , 21 February - 2 March '24 — Bavaria 37 (2017) 'New Beginnings' We have chartered many times from Horizon, most often in the BVI but also Antigua and the Grenadines. Service has always been excellent and we have had no issues with boat equipment to speak of. Any minor issues that we did have over the years (one or two in about 18 years) were handled quickly and our charters were never delayed or interrupted by them. The charter process is seamless and the staff invariably friendly and helpful.
Gordon Stewart , 23 February - 2 March '24 — Lagoon 46 (2023) 'Rope the Wind ' Great, everyone was very helpful, dock staff to checkout and repositioning boat from fuel dock.
Bill Adkisson , 14-24 February '24 — Jeanneau 490 (2019) 'Hakuna Matata IV' This was an excellent boat. We really enjoyed this charter and felt like the Horizon staff was outstanding. Very helpful and personal.
Paul Coleman , 16-24 February '24 — Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410 (2024) 'Easy Skanking' Excellent service from Horizon – we will be back!
Sean & Amy Kelly , 17-24 February '24 — Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 (2022) 'Detour' I wanted to send you all my sincere thanks for helping to make my group’s yacht charter an absolutely wonderful experience. We’re all planning to rebook with Horizon for February 2025.   Many thanks again, Sean & Amy Kelly
Sterling Bryson , 13-19 February '24 — Lagoon 46 catamaran (2021) 'Clearlake III' All staff 5 stars! Very attentive and helpful, great balance of well-organized and laid back! 🙂
Robert Rudin , 7-12 February '24 — Bavaria 41 (2018) 'Patches' I was amazed at how well-designed the boat itself was – extremely maneuverable and easy to operate. Enjoyed working with Dom.
Ray Montgomery , 3-11 February '24 — Lagoon 42 catamaran (2022) 'Casbah III' Horizon and BVI was an excellent choice for our family’s first bareboat sailing experience! We chartered a 42 Lagoon named Casbah III from Horizon Yacht Charters. This Lagoon 42 had a large, full stateroom in Starboard hull and two smaller, full staterooms in Port hull. My wife and I were in one of the smaller rooms, and my adult son was in one of the smaller rooms. My daughter, son-in-law and 2 1/2 year old granddaughter were in the larger room. This boat was PERFECT for our family! The experience with the Horizon Staff and Nanny Cay facilities and other establishments was excellent. The sailing was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed every area we visited – Peter Island, Soper’s Hole, Jost Van Dyke including Foxy’s Taboo and the bubbly pools, Marina Cay and the snorkeling there, The Baths at Virgin Gorda and Cooper Island. I would recommend Horizon and a BVI sailing experience to anyone. It was my first bareboat Captain experience. I have a 38 foot monohull sailboat. For any prospective Captains thinking of doing this for the first time, as long as you prepare well and take full advantage of the videos and manuals Horizon provides, you can do this!
Jonathan Horvath, Dave Polakoff & Mathieu Gombault , 4-10 February '24 — Jeanneau 490 (2019) 'Hakuna Matata IV' Dear Horizon Friends, Thank you for another successful and delightful Horizon Yacht charter and Horizon ASA school experience.  From start to finish, our interaction with you was professional, friendly, courteous, efficient, and fun. We are so glad we returned to Horizon for 2024 and look forward to continuing to do so. Please extend our appreciation and gratitude to ALL staff, on the water and behind the desks, who contributed to our wonderful experience. If only we would visit you more often (SMILE!). If anyone is passing through New York City during the 2024 sailing season, please let us know, so we can hope to get you on the water and return the hospitality. Best, Jonathan, Dave & Mathieu
