Common questions

What should I ask before booking a charter?
Ask whether it is a private or shared trip, how many hours it runs, where it leaves from, and what is included: snorkel gear, lunch, drinks and fuel are not always part of the price. Ask what happens if the weather turns.
Do I need a passport for a day trip to the BVI?
Yes. The British Virgin Islands are a separate country, so everyone on board needs a valid passport, and the boat has to clear customs on arrival. Your charter company handles the paperwork but will ask for passport details in advance.
When is the best time to book?
December to April is the busiest season, so book early for those months. Many charters also run through summer, when it is quieter.
