Hi, on our recent charter BVIs 1-25 to 2/1/2020- we noticed that they are stacking the boats at Sunsail/Moorings three deep in the slips- and at the same time- every mooring ball is taken by 1:00pm at popular anchorages.
There appears to be a glut of supply of charter yachts. If the long time laws of economics apply, I would expect that charter yacht prices should decline.
I have been receiving e-mails from some companies- I think I got one today from Conch- announcing 20% off sales and the like.
Time will tell! so I think Sunsail/ Moorings have 250+ boats on base, and they all go out at Christmas/ New Year & other busy times, heaven knows what the traffic/ mooring issues are at busy times but it means there's a lot of boats on base at quieter times; in theory the lower prices in low seasons attract business but not enough to mop up the slack.
