Sailboat Rental in the BVI- 5 Important Points to Consider

How long should you rent a boat for? If you are planning on sailing with a group, it is a good idea to agree a basic itinerary with everyone in advance of your trip.
Decide what type of sailboat you would like to rent. The main types of sailboats are sloops, cutters, ketches, yawls and schooners. These names are primarily a description of how many sails and how they are fixed. Speak with the experts at the boat charter company to find out which type of sailboat is right for you.
What size of sailboat should you rent? The amount of people on the boat will be the main factor of course, but it is better to hire a boat with extra room for you and your companions than it is to rent a boat that you find is too small once you set sail.
What time of year is the best for a boat trip in the BVI? December through the first week of March are the best for strong sailing winds. Late March through mid-June, accommodation rates drop and the summertime heat/humidity has not set in. June through August are the best for water temperature, but the wind is unpredictable in these months.
Contact an expert in boat charters. A good boat charter company should have a large range of boats available for charter and should also offer services such as port transfers, reservation of moorings and itinerary recommendations.
