The Caribbean waters were once legendary for pirates and treasure-seeking seafarers, but are now enjoyed by sailing and yacht charter enthusiasts who appreciate the gorgeous scenery, great winds, and variety of specialty restaurants, beach bars, and other anchorages. The BVI is a dream destination for even the least experienced sailors - plan your BVI yacht charter during the months with constant trade winds, great weather, and calm seas.



The British Virgin Islands offer a wonderful tropical climate year round with temperatures ranging from 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and dropping to a comfortable 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the night; almost any time of year is the perfect time to visit or vacation to the British Virgin Islands.



The Caribbean region is well known worldwide for near-perfect sailing conditionswarm water, beautiful islands, and plenty of snorkeling, fishing, and pristine beaches for swimming and relaxation.Many BVI sailing charter enthusiasts travel via yacht exploring islands, taking advantage of ideal winter sailing season conditions.



Keep in mind it does rain occasionally, but usually only small tropical showers that dont last for longhowever, visiting during hurricane season may damper your BVI yacht charter vacation. Officially, hurricane season begins in June and ends in November, so if you do plan a vacation during these months, its best to keep an eye on the local weather. The trade winds offer spectacular and consistent conditions for BVI sailing charters from November to May, with lighter winds in the other months.The majority of tourists and BVI sailing charter enthusiasts plan their visit during the winter months and into early springfrom the middle of December to the middle of April, with the off season stretching from April till December.If you do plan on visiting during the off season to take advantage of smaller crowds and a quieter atmosphere, keep in mind this does correspond with the Caribbeans peak tourist seasonisland prices will be higher.



June through November (official Hurricane season begins June 1st and ends November 30th) are not favorable months because of summer rains and hurricane season. Hurricanes can and do threaten the Caribbean, with most occurring in August, September, and November. Bareboat charter vacation spots may close the month of September into the first week of October, with charters typically ending around August 20th due to the hurricane season.For more information about sailing the BVI, contact a bareboat charter specialist.He or she will be happy to answer questions about BVI sailing charter vacations!
