Charter to VG
Charter to VG
Hello, Are there any charters for about 8 people to Spring Bay, Virgin Gorda? Thanks, Laua
You must be the change you want to see in the world
Both are fine as some of my family members have not been to VG at all. Would also like to go the The Indians as I have never snorkeled them and heard they are fantastic. Willing to pay for the 6-8 of us $3000.00 total, gas, boat, customs etc. Don't care to stop for lunch anywhere or shop. Is this reasonable for a half day trip? Thanks, Laura

For a daytrip, its too far to sail so you need to take a motorboat. These threads mention Palm Tree, Born to Rhumb, and Motor Yacht Cinnamon Bay.
Check out their capacities, itineraries, etc.
Hopefully others will chime in who have done a VG daytrip, or, consider PM-ing some of the good folks who posted on these threads.

If there are 8 of you it limits your options as many boats are what we call 6 pac (up to 6 passengers) There are a few that hold 8-10.
Your budget of $3,000 is more than enough but know if you do a private it will be for the full day but most 6 passenger boats are in the $525 to $625 range for the day (plus fuel approx $180 to VG and other stops, and plus customs)
There are a few boats that hold 8-10 and their daily rate will be in the $1,500 range
Depending on the time of year I can book Bad Kitty as a private and the rate after high season will be $145 pp with a minimum of 18 so still only $2610 for the full day on a fantastic boat that holds 34 so lots of space - during season the cost is $145 pp with a minimum of 24 so $3480.
Hope this gives you some options to think about.

I have used many of the different charter companies over the years and for a medium size group I've found Pirates Penny / Stormy Petrol to be the best value.
Although both boats can hold 16 passengers they only take 12 on one of the boats and 10 on the other. They charge $135 per person so you could charter the 10 passenger boat for $1350 and have the boat for the entire day going wherever you like. Your only other costs would be $30 per person for customs at Virgin Gorda, any food/drinks bought ashore, and whatever tip you decide to give the captain and mate.
