Sail the azure waters of the British Virgin Islands aboard Amaryllis, a light and airy 45' catamaran decorated in Caribbean colours and adorned with local artwork. Amaryllis is an affordable charter yacht ideal for couples and families alike. Your captain, Bruce, is a gracious host, ready to share his extensive knowledge of sailing and the islands. He knows the best anchorages, the best places to snorkel and makes the best rum punch.
Liz's personal view of Amaryllis
I was very impressed with both the yacht and her owner-operated crew. Amaryllis is a lovely little yacht which I have no hesitation recommending, especially as a 4 pax. There have been lots of recent improvements including new furnishings and additional water toys. Amaryllis is also available for 4 and 5 night charters and is offering a family special of one child under 17 years goes free. Bruce and Laura are doing a great job and offer excellent value charters - the perfect yacht for families.

Alan's passion of the Caribbean and entertaining friends has brought him to Catalyst, where he can't wait to fire up the blender and show you some of the most beautiful spots on the planet. Alan is at his best on Captain only or half-board charters and will ensure you have a memorable trip - relaxing and enjoying lazy days at an easy going island pace.
Liz's personal view of Catalyst
Catalyst is one of the best value for money charter yachts in the BVI. Although an older yacht, she is well maintained and is regularly upgraded. Catalyst is extremely clean with comfortable staterooms and en suite heads; the salon and forward queen cabins are air conditioned but the aft double guest cabin is not. Your host, Alan, is very patient and relaxed, and is always willing to accommodate guests' requests. He has done a fantastic job with this charter yacht and offers a wide variety of packages from full board to half board to captain only- something to suit everyone. In addition, diving is available from the yacht. Alan is the true professional and, by keeping his rates competitive, is always booked well in advance. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Just lay back and imagine yourself living on your own private floating resort. The captain has sailed you across the impossibly turquoise seas to a white sand fringed isolated bay. Your chef has delighted you again with mouthwatering canapés. You drop gently into the warm transparent water and snorkel right off the yacht with the tropical reef fish and swaying corals. You enjoy cocktails at sunset while you look back on a perfect day and look forward to an exciting tomorrow.
Liz's personal view of Free Ingwe
Free Ingwe is an older yacht but absolutely immaculate due to Matt and Melissa's diligence. A perfect yacht for family charters with plenty of water toys onboard.

Tachyon is a very successful charter yacht, operated by a new crew - Jason & Bernadette - whom I met for the first time at the BVI Boat Show in Nov 2008. They are a delightful and enthusiastic couple who have been cruising aboard their own 40' sailboat for several years. Jason is a fishing enthusiast and holds a dive master and USCG captain’s license. Bernadette has qualifications in the culinary arts from Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island and also holds a Captain’s license. Tachyon has a new dinghy this season and is in the process of acquiring new upholstery.
