Its been over a decade since we boareboated in the virgin islands and I cannot even remember all the details. The company we rented from is gone. Would love advice on charter companiesfor power boats and if starting in bvis or usvis is better (we are USA citizens). i believe we started in usvis last time but if memory is correct that meant a rough first day. Thinking flights are probably easier to usvis but really need to learn it all again. Eventually i will start reading through all the trip reports but want to make sure i get the right company and starting spot first. Also, is 7 nights actually enough? Its more expensive than last time plus more people to fly in so our last trip of 12 nights on boat seems out of reach. Thank you!!

I recommend checking with Waypoints Yacht charters. www.waypoints.com They have bases in both St Thomas, USVI and Tortola, BVI. Waypoints has taken over CYOA out of St Thomas but same great staff is there to help make sure you have a great boat and great trip. Cheers

Virgin Island Yacht Charters
Virgin Island Yacht Charter from Compass Point is an alternative. SailCats only, but nobody says you have to put the white floppy things up!
We did a 10-night two years ago, St. John and St. Thomas. May have been a bit too long according to some of our crew. Different vibe than the BVI.
