The best time for a BVI Yacht Charter is between December and April, which is the high season for tourism. During this time, the weather is sunny and dry, and the temperatures range from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit.
The peak of the high season is between Christmas and New Year’s when many visitors flock to the BVI to enjoy the festive season in paradise. This also means that prices for charters and flights are generally higher during this time.
If you’re looking to avoid the crowds and save some money, you can consider visiting the BVI during the shoulder season, November / Early December and April to July. This is the low season for tourism, and the weather is still warm and tropical. However, you should be aware that this is closer to hurricane season, so it’s essential to obtain trip insurance should something happen.

Nestled between giant granite boulders and palms in the sandy bay of Spanish Town, is the chic restaurant, Coco Maya.

Coco Maya serves up an undeniably delectable fusion of Southeast Asian street food & Latin American cuisine with a touch of Caribbean flavor, and I couldn’t possibly be a bigger fan.

Situated on the leeward side of Salt Island, this historic and exciting dive location is the crown jewel of scuba diving in the Virgin Islands. The bow rests shallow at 20ft and the stern at 100ft. The ship sank during a hurricane in 1867.
With its shallow shoals & secret caverns, the Indians are home to the brightest corals and provides incredible biodiversity aka “The Fishbowl”.
A short tender ride from Hansen bay and has been featured in Time Magazine’s top 100 places to see, this floating taco bar serves to die for tacos and fancy cocktails while you float at their swim-up bar or lounge on one of their many “floating” Booths.
Quickly becoming the USVI’s most popular Happy Hour spot, The Windmill Bar stands high above Hawks Nest Beach, in the most breathtaking spot for catching a sunset. It offers local vibes, great drinks, and even better views!
Looking for a really cool place to dine ashore? Hop into your tender and buzz over to the private dock at Caneel Bay Resort. Be sure to snag the early reservation (and make them well in advance!) to catch a breathtaking sunset as you dine next to the beach.

Only a 10 minute hike/walk from the Soggy Dollar Bar, the bubbly pools get their name from the waves coming over the ledge into the tidal swimming pool stirring it up. You’re likely to pass lots of wildlife, hear happy goats, and (if you’re lucky) try some delicious Prickly Pear Fruit along the way.
Located on the north coast of Tortola, Cane Garden Bay is known for its majestic sunsets, friendly locals, and live reggae music.
