Navigare Yachting BVI

Trip of a Lifetime!
Amazing! We just returned from our first charter in the BVI and it was the trip of a lifetime! This was my first charter as captain so i was anxious about the whole processs, Navigare made everything seamless from the initial booking, adding extras to arriving in Tortolla , they even arranged for a taxi to pick us up upon arrival. The walk thru onboard was very thourough and everyone went above and beyond. Our Bali 38 catamaran fit our crew of 8 just fine and we loved opening the garage style back wall during the day that made it feel like a larger boat. We had one of our house batteries start to overheat so I contacted the maintenance team and they arranged a meeting place where they changed out all the house batteries with only a slight adjustment to our itinerary. Stuff is always breaking on boats , it's how you handle it the matters , and I was very impressed by their prompt resolution of the issue. We had a 2 year old on board so we opted for the lifeline netting, it was installed very nicely and kept our precious niece safe. Would I charter with them again? 1000% We are already looking for where and when to go next...

BVI 40 ft Cat honeymoon w captain
We had a great time and experience on our boat, the Nomade1 40 ft catamaran. We were here on our honeymoon just the two of us. Khadin Fahie was our captain and did a great job helping us see and do what we wanted in a limited amount of time. Everything was very easy and just what we were looking for. Would recommend him and the boat to anyone. We will be back!

A week sailing the BVi
We just spent the most amazing week sailing around the BVIs. We had the BEST captain you could ask for Khadin Fahie! From making reservations to booking our moaks on Anegada, he was truly a blessing this trip. So if you’re looking for a great guy to captain your next sail look him up!

Amazing Sailing Experience with Captain Bradley LeCroix
Captain Bradley LeCroix gave us an amazing selling experience. He was professional, patient, and made us feel completely at ease on the catamaran. We loved how he taught us about, sailing along the way – wind, navigation, and how the boat moves. An unforgettable week on the water. Highly recommend Captain Bradley!

Wonderful Charter, Excellent Skipper – Be Aware of Navigare’s Gratuity Policy
We had a great 10-day catamaran charter in the British Virgin Islands aboard Kallisti, a Lagoon 46, departing from Nanny Cay. We were four guests plus a skipper, and overall the experience was very positive.The boat was comfortable, well maintained, and perfectly suited for exploring the BVI. Life on board was relaxed and easy, with generous space both while sailing and at anchor. The itinerary was well balanced between sailing time, swimming, snorkeling, and time ashore.Our skipper, Khadin Fahie, was outstanding: professional, discreet, highly competent, and always focused on safety and on our preferences. He suggested beautiful anchorages and spots throughout the islands and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We would sail with him again without hesitation.Important note for future guests booking with Navigare:ATTENTION !!! Please be aware that Navigare calculates the skipper’s gratuity based on the crew fee, not on the charter fee. We specifically asked them before and they confirmed this. However this results in a significantly higher tip expected by the captain since in fact the gratuity is to be calculated on the charter fee and this became fully clear to us only at the very end of the charter.As far as we could verify, Navigare appears to be the only charter company in the BVI applying this rule, while other agencies calculate gratuities differently. Unfortunately, this created an uncomfortable situation at the end of the trip, despite the skipper being in no way responsible and always acting professionally.We strongly recommend that future guests clarify this policy in detail before departure, in order to fully enjoy an otherwise excellent charter experience.

Good value charter
Well priced yacht charter with friendly and helpful staff. The catamaran we rented was over 10 years old and did have a few issues such as the freezer not freezing so water leaking out, broken coffee pot, not that clean and plugs didn’t fit the sinks. Biggest issue were the toilets where they were blocked from previous rentals so sewage repeatedly kept flushing back up in all 3 bathrooms. Pretty disgusting on a week long charter. We could have called the tech team out but other than swapping boats over they wouldn’t have been able to fix them.

Thank you, Navigare Yachting Team, for organizing an unforgettable experience.
Thank you, Navigare Yachting Team, for organizing an unforgettable experience. Special Thank you, goes to Sydney Lavely, Dawn Fingers and Nadine. Happy Holidays and we hope to see you next year.

Amazing first time charter in the BVI’s!
We had an amazing time as a family, it was our first time in the Caribbean and our first time chartering a boat! Captain Khadin was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and the boat was perfect for all our needs!We’ll be back!

Could NOT have been better!
Despite a boat change just two days before our trip, Navagari came through with the exact same boat, just a newer version. Boats break it happens and we were not disappointed with the outcome. The boat was very spacious and comfortable for our group. Working with Navagari was great from start to finish; the rental process was smooth and they were a pleasure to work with.This was our second time doing this trip with three couples, and we chose to go with just a captain and no chef. As always, the crew makes all the difference, and Captain Brad St. Croix was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable about both sailing and the area and was happy to teach us since we wanted to learn. He was professional, confident, and made us feel completely at ease.When we weren’t underway, Brad was relaxed and fit right in with our group. He gave great recommendations for islands, beaches, and restaurants. Every recommendation was spot on and he even made reservations for us, which was a huge help. Our trip was exceptional because of him, and I highly recommend Brad for any group, whether couples, friends, or families.

Top notch company and yachts!
Had an awesome experience bareboat chartering with Navigare Tortola. Check in staff and dock crew were friendly and very helpful. Bali 4.2 "Movin up" was in great condition and didn't have any mechanical issues. By far the most enjoyable cruising grounds we have ever done. Definitely will come back for another trip soon!

Amazing trip
Had an amazing trip! Great experience all around! Brad was a great skipper and was super helpful with everything we wanted to do and see.

Sail of a lifetime
Wow! What a way to travel, we are now sailers for life. We were first timers chartering and very nervous for all it entailed. Did we pick the right boat, the right company? Yes, we did and would do it again. We rented the Bali 4.4 Stellar and she was perfect for our party of 6 plus a captain. The boat was in decent condition with only a few issues, outdoor grill did not work, some cushions were not in the best condition. The boat size was perfect and we loved the layout with the open door function and full kitchen. Our only issue was our captain, we had no say, he was unresponsive to texts and calls prior to sailing. When only met him as we pulled out of harbor, he gave no briefing, no safety talks and refused to listen to our requests, he as very passive agressive about tourists (we are tourists and we are paying you). Instead we had to go where he wanted to go. Make sure your captain understanding this is YOUR vacation and you get to go where you want not his preferences.

Great captain and charter experience
We went on a seven day charter led by Captain Khadine Fahie on lagoon 4.2. The cat was in great condition and the experience that Captain Khadine gave us on our first charter has made us start looking at coming back again next year. Captain Khadine is a true professional and prides himself on keeping his passengers safe and providing them with a once in a lifetime experience.

10 days in BVI on SY Bella Luna
Just had a great 10 days sailing with a great group of friends on board the beautiful Bella Luna, a Bali 42. Captain Khadin Fahie took great care of us. He knows all the best snorkeling spots!

Another great experience
This was our second trip with Navigare in the BVIs. For those who haven't been it's a special place. The catamaran we had originally reserved wasn't available for maintenance reasons when we checked in. No problem. We were upgraded to a newer and larger boat for our trip. It was great. The staff was friendly and helpful just like our first trip with them. Checking in and out is always busy and a bit chaotic with so many groups coming and going. I felt the staff did a good job juggling all of us. And, even thought there was a same day turnaround for cleaning on our upgraded boat, they didn't cut corners. The boat was spotless when we got onboard, and they had us on our way in plenty of time to get to our first destination. We'll be back to the BVIs and we'll use Navigare.

Awesome trip with Navigare and Khadin Fahie
We have just returned from a great family trip with Navigare which exceeded all of our expectations. This was our first charter in the beautiful BVI and the team at the local office provide a great customer service, answering all our upfront questions promptly and also dealing extremely professionally with a last minute change of boat that was entirely out of their control; they worked tirelessly and closely with us to provide a solution that we were 100% satisfied with.Navigare also sorted us out with an awesome local captain for our charter, Khadin Fahie. Not only was Khadin extremely competent at handling our boat but his vast local knowledge and flexibility was invaluable in ensuring that our itinerary was absolutely perfect for us. Most importantly, Khadin was an engaging and fun captain and we felt totally at ease sharing our charter with him. If you are lucky enough to book Khadin for your charter you will not be disappointed! We are already planning our next trip to BVI!

Great trip!!!
Had an amazing Voyage through the BVI, and a very good experience with Navigare. Dawn/ Sales was very knowledgeable and helpful during the planning phase. Dion provided the review of all systems upon arrival and Bradley went over operation of the cat. We skippered ourselves and just motored from island to island. There were some minor issues with boat upon arrival; i.e. missing front cushion, exterior flat stove inoperative, AC out in one room & generator impeller. They recharged the AC, changed out the Generator impeller and gave us charcoal for the SS grill outside; all corrected within an hour or so. On the last day they sent a skipper out to bring us in, due to high winds. All in all a great trip- I’d book with them again.

Great family vacation
Excellent service. Our catamaran (Chillin Hut) was perfect fit for us. Huge! With all that we needed. A vacation that my family will never forget. Do not think twice on chartering from Navigare.

Navigare was great to work with, very professional!
We had a great experience working with Navigare, it was my first time taking a catamaran out on my own and they recommended a captain for the first few days. Which worked out awesome for us! We won the captain lottery with Captain Kahdin Fahie, he helped make our BVI catamaran adventure unforgettable! His patience and skill as a sailor/teacher helped us feel confident enough on the water that we were able to carry on without him for the remaining four days of our trip. I highly recommend him and Navigare for an exceptional sailing experience. And I also really appreciate at the end of our sailing trip that Navigare employee came out into the channel, to help bring the boat back into a slip for us. That was a really nice touch. 👌 and the ladies at the front desk are so friendly and awesome at their jobs. I will pick Navigare for my next sailing adventure

Navigare handled their business
Navigare presented like a top tier organization. Everything went smoothly - boat worked 100%. I tangled a line on the mast, main sail stuck half way deployed -I circled outside great harbor - they had someone on my boat and up the mast in less than 1 hour. Will recommend and use again.

Trogir, perfect place to sail to new discoveries.
From 14 to 21 June, with a group of friends, we had a fantastic experience on board a catamaran of Navigare Yachting company in Croatia departing from Trogir.We had a similar experience with our skipper Ivan Martinovic who from the very first moment managed everything with professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail. The boat well equipped and perfect for our needs.The skipper was exceptional: competent, confident and very helpful in sharing his knowledge about the sea and places to visit. It made the whole day of sailing not only safe, but also fun and relaxing. His passion for the sea was felt in every gesture and made us feel safe and well guided.We recommend both the charter company and the skipper to anyone looking for an unforgettable sea experience. We will definitely be back!

Great experience
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Navigare Yachting at Marina Baotić in Trogir! From the moment we arrived, the entire process was smooth, fast, and stress-free — a perfect start to our sailing holiday.The reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Santaja and Suzana. They welcomed us warmly, answered all our questions with patience, and made check-in feel like a breeze. Their professionalism and positive attitude really stood out.On the dock, Ludvig and Hrvoje took care of our yacht check-in and check-out with impressive efficiency and attention to detail. They were knowledgeable, approachable, and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and well-informed. It was clear they genuinely cared about making our experience safe and enjoyable.The whole team at Navigare was outstanding — friendly, supportive, and highly professional. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone planning a sailing trip from Trogir.

Shemar!!!!
My family and I had the best time ever! It was the best vacation I have ever been on. Truly such a unique and great experience. A huge thank you to Captain Shemar! He was amazing and made the vacation even better. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew all the best spots (and times) to visit everything. If it weren’t for him I don’t know if it would have been possible to have as much fun as we did.

What an incredible experience. Navigare who is very easy to work with and Top quality. Dawn was so easy to talk to in booking th
Top notch company!! Wonderful people. Beautiful catamaran. Very clean. Nice towels, nice sheets. Can't wait to plan my next trip!

Great trip with Captain Bradley
This was our first time to BVI and sailing so we were a little nervous. We sailed on The Instigator for 8 days with Captain Bradley. He was excellent at calming us down and answering our million questions, some of them more than once. He made safety his first priority, but followed that closely with making sure we had a great time and somehow managed to accommodated 4 couples with various interests. By the end of the trip, we had adopted Bradley into our group and begged him to come visit us in Texas. The sailing itself was similar to RV camping. The rooms/bathrooms were small and plain but functional. We cooked breakfast each morning on the boat and ate lunch/dinner on the islands. While you are confined to smaller spaces, there was plenty of room to get some alone time. It was a very relaxing trip.

A fantastic trip.
Fantastic trip - no other way to describe it. The people at Navigare were brilliant, they were knowledgeable, helpful and ensured that everything was 100%. Tortola has to be one of the greatest places in the world if you want to chill, sail and enjoy an amazing environment. The people are so friendly and so relaxed too.

Third time and still living it!!
Navigare staff was friendly, professional and helpful, again!! Boat was in great shape and very comfortable. They even made sure the weather was perfect!! Thanks Navigare team!!

Just spectacular !!!
The people of Navigare served us very well, the excellent boat, the paradise places. We had no problem, super recommended to rent with this company.

Wonderful Trip! Wonderful Price!
This was are third charter with Navigare . This was by far our most thorough service we have very had . Previously we had rented with the moorings in the BVI and chartered with Navigare in Greece and Croatia. We will definetly rent with Navigare again. The service is comparable to the morning and the boats are half the price(tip if you are thinking of booking there Black Friday deals are amazing and they price match!). We had a wonderful trip full of amazing people and would love to come back!

40th birthday celebration!!!
Navigare yachting was amazing and very detailed with everything we did. But captain Robert made our trip! He did such a great job communicating with us before charter to find out a good itinerary for us and gave us great recommendations and reasons why we should stay overnight at certain places because of wind, weather, vibe, etc. Captain Robert was an excellent captain and we are already looking at booking a trip again for next year with him!!!

Best Charter Service at Navigare
With my wife and 2 of our kids (15 and 18 years old), we chartered a Bali Catamarn (Catsmart) for 11 days. Was my second time sailing in BVI, but the first one for my family. They couldn´t believe how beautiful and fun was this paradise. Was the best experience, from day one at Nanny Cay Resort (Navigare Base). Beautiful place with restaurant, bar, supermarket, coffee shop, etc, etc. Next ten days sailing was amazing. Super special mention to Navigare. Service was incredible, always helping, smiling, and making all easy. The technical team was the perfect complement. Compton and his boys with all the patience to help, by videocall, or getting to the boat, no matter how far we were. The best charter service at Navigare BVI. Never seen before. Thank you all. Special regards to Avril and Compton. Hope to see you next year !!!!

Outstanding overall BVI experience with Navigare and Heartbeat
We chartered Heartbeat (Oceanis 54) for 4 weeks from Navigare in Nanny Cay. The boat was well-equipped and with 3 cabins perfect for the 6 of us. The overall experience was excellent, Avril and her team looked after us for a pleasant check-in and lots of local tips. Cliff and his technical support team were outstanding - as on any boat, we discovered some issues while on the way, and they addressed and fixed them. Arriving by boat to neighbouring islands or by car in Tortola their competent team fixed it all in a very short time. This is by far the best support team I have experienced in my many charters. We plan to be back in the BVI next year and I know where to go for a well supported charter ! Many thanks to all, Captain Kurt

Fabulous Navigare BVI Team & Charter Experience
Patrice, Avril and whole crew at Navigare BVI were incredible. I've chartered at many locations over the past 30 years and this was the best staff/base experience I've had. In fact, we are booking another trip for this year again! Cheers and cannot wait to be back making more memories with family and friends.

Baggage found and delivered
Special thanks to Avril who managed to find my luggage never arrived in Miami to Tortola and delivered with them boat to Norman Island while I was sailing. Thank you so much🥰

BVI trip with Captain Rae
My family has been wanting to sail in the BVIs for a long time. We have never chartered before, but we had a very seamless experience with Navigare Yachting. The personnel in the office were very helpful in answering our questions and teasing out some issues in the beginning of the trip. Captain Rae was amazing as well! His knowledge and efficiency in making sure we saw as many incredible spots in the BVIs during our 5 day voyage was impressive! He is so personable and gave us some great laughs! Hoping to do this again and will definitely be asking for Rae!

Ask for Captain Shaka
Just finishing up a week charter where I was a single among a larger group. I was lucky everyone on board was really nice. But I was even more lucky because our captain was beyond awesome.... Captain Shaka was friendly and so willing to make everyone feel special. He was always willing to answer my questions and let me learn more! Thank you Captain Shaka!!

Great time in the BVI
My wife and sailed with our 3 adult children and spouses and spent 7 days aboard Golden Hind. Our captain Rae and cook Kevin were both terrific and made the trip memorable. Each day we saw new ports and harbors, while Kevin prepared great meals. The boat was in great shape and made the trip easy. Highly recommend the BVI and cruising with a captain and cook like Rae and Kevin.

Navigare Trip 2025
Our catamaran trip with Navigare was absolutely unforgettable! We spent an incredible time on the water with 6 of my best friends, cruising through stunning scenery, enjoying crystal-clear waters, and living the dream. The highlight was Chef Akeem, who made every meal a masterpiece—delicious, creative, and perfectly tailored to our tastes. His cooking elevated the whole experience, making every meal feel like a celebration. From the amazing food to the breathtaking views and perfect service, it truly was the best time ever. Highly recommend!

Wonderful trip to BVI with great crew!
Fourth time sailing the BVI on a chartered catamaran through Navigare. Awesome time! This time we were on the Michelle Ma Belle, 42' Fountaine Pajot. Good boat, no issues. Went with me and wife, plus four 19-20 year olds.Sales process: booked through Lisa Nichols. She is responsive and finds good boats for fair prices. Post-sales support: Avril Hypolite, office manager of the BVI base, is wonderful. Communicate with her via WhatsApp and she cares for every need, including assigning the crew (captain and chef) -- and these people are extremely important. She also helps with airport transfers, coordinating extra water toys, and pretty much anything else that might come up between time you rent boat and time you arrive.Captain: we had Captain Kevin Moses and he was absolutely awesome. He is expert with these boats and also experienced in the BVI. Beyond that - and perhaps more importantly - he is completely focused on ensuring his guests are happy. No matter what I would ask him, the answer was always "Yes, absolutely, this is your holiday, let's make it wonderful"....and then he would make it wonderful. I provided him a tentative desired itinerary, he read it and he make sure we got to all the spots that I wanted, while also giving me advice on other places. He also is a scuba dive master, which is added bonus for divers. He also is just a really wonderful, nice man to get to know. An example of how great he is: I asked him to bring us to a beautiful and calm bay/beach for water play time. He brought us to Long Bay (Tortola) -- and it is beautiful. We anchored and played in the water. Then after an hour, I decided the water was a little rougher than I desired. I knew that I was being a pain in the neck, but it was our second to last day of our trip, so I asked him (nicely) if we could move to another location....this was at 6 pm after we had settled in for the night. Capt Kevin replied with a smile, "Of course....this is your holiday....let's make it awesome." We motored to nearby Monkey Point which was better protected, and we proceeded to play in that spot for 24 hours. Other captains might have agreed to the move, but Capt Kevin did it with a smile and genuinely seemed to do whatever would make me happy. Another example: we had three days in a row of red flag days at The Baths, and we wanted to visit there (and not take a taxi there.) When we finally got a yellow flag day, Capt departed Cooper Island at 6:30 am, got us to the Baths at 7 am and got the first closest mooring ball, while we were still in bed. He knew we wanted to go there, so he went the extra mile to make it awesome. Chef: we had Chef Kevin Leslie and he also was excellent. Previously, he was a chef at Red Rock Restaurant on Tortola and he even won some top chef contests. His cooking was excellent and he was fun to be around....he has a fun "vibe" He took the time to communicate with me ahead of the trip so we could jointly agree on a general menu. I paid him for some extra time before the trip, and he did meal planning, all grocery shopping and provisioning of the boat. We had one person who doesn't eat meat, so he made an extra meal of buttered pasta at every dinner meal for her...and he did it with a big smile. He wasn't an expert Happy Hour Cocktail bartender before our trip, so he and I had a lot of fun together mixing drinks. He now is an expert at making Margaritas! :)This was my first time with Capt Kevin Moses and Chef Kevin Leslie, and I would absolutely use them both again. Most highly recommended!!! Pro tip: if you are flying onto Tortola, ask to be picked up at Trellis Bay instead of taxi ride to Nanny Cay...this saves you about half a day. Not every crew will agree, but our awesome crew did it with a smile. Other vendors: we used Island Sea and Surf (BVI Water Toys) for extra water toys. Nicoll is always helpful. We also used Land and Sea Power Services to rent underwater sea scooters -- these were super fun for all.Great places: the Baths never disappoint. The Indians were excellent snorkeling this time -- calmer water, sunshine and lots of fish. Cooper Island's bay once again had turtles and sting rays. Deadmans Bay (Peter Island) was beautiful and calm. Monkey Point was outstanding - stayed there for 24 hours just playing in the water.

A magical vacation on the water!
We did a family trip to the BVIs with our family of five and had a wonderful time thanks to our captain Kevin. He was so helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to be around. He made the trip so much fun, putting us in the best snorkel spots and ensuring our toys were always ready. We enjoyed our time on the water with Navigare…definitely a lifetime trip!

Yacht Charter Bahamas
We chartered a catamaran from Navigare Yachting out of Marsh Harbor in the Abacos and had a great experience. The marina facilities in Marsh Harbor are clean and new and the Navigare staff were friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Naz who took care of a few technical issues for us.

Up for an adventure. Party, Snorkel. Or just Relax!
Catamaran with a captain! Our first ever trip like this! Actually captain Rae made the trip amazing. He knows all the spots, snorkeling, partying, or just relaxing. Totally in control of everything on your boat. He even snorkeled with us to show us things we might not have e seen. He was in contact with us before the trip even started, we knew what to bring and not to bring. Book with Rae. I personally enjoyed the early morning conversations while others were in bed. Thanks Rae, I consider you my friend. Paul Schmidt

Amazing Experience with Captain Rae!!
Our Captain Rae made our trip experience a level up with his knowledge of the islands. We couldn’t be happier with the route we took and all the nice restaurants he made reservations for our group to dine at. We definitely will be back! Bali 4.6 Joy!

Rae + the Haxter Baxter = Unforgettable
We had a 10/10 experience aboard the Haxter Baxter. Our captain Rae could not have been more accommodating and hospitable with a genuine desire to show our group an unforgettable time.

Captain Ray is the Man
Ray was amazing! He was everything you could ask for in a captain.He took us out on Haxter Baxter! His local knowledge and willingness to share his insights of the BVIs made our trip that much better! He took us to some to hidden gem spots and put us on some Fish! Ray is the best captain in the BVIs! I can’t wait to come back again and have Ray show us another great time! Thank You again ray for helping me set up the perfect spot for my proposal!! We will see you at the wedding!!!

Ray is the best captain ever 10/10
Ray was the best captain and made our trip! He is super knowledgeable about the islands and a great host. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him and we hope to see him soon. We gained a friend on this trip and I couldn’t thank you enough ray. We stayed on Haxter Baxter and it was a great boat with the BEST CAPTAIN!!!! 10/10 thank you again ray 💕

Trip of a Lifetime
Let me start by saying Captain Kevin was incredibly professional, helpful, understanding, and friendly. I will 100% request him in the future for our next yachting excursion. He was such a joy to work with and have onboard. Thank you so much for everything Captain! Our group of 12 rented the Kowi Kai yacht for 5 days and the rental process was a little tedious and there were times our sales rep went unresponsive, but we figured it out. Before arrival there was some confusion with our reservation, but Navigare quickly fixed the issues. The boat was amazing other than needing some slight help with one room needing an AC replacement (since it completely went out twice). Also, upon arrival the smaller rooms with bulkheads seemed to be extremely misrepresented by the photos provided. The space was SO MUCH smaller than anyone realized. Some people just slept outside the cabin because they would hit their knees and head on the ceiling at night. I know boat spaces are small, but comparing the image to the actual room was startling. Total misrepresentation. As for water toys, we rented from BVI water toys. It was a super easy experience. We just reserved online, paid, and they brought the toys to our boat… and that was that. I never saw anyone from the company and everything we ordered was there. We ordered a water hammock, large water mat, kayak, snorkel gear, and there was a paddle board on board… making our journey even more adventurous. We all had the best time minus a few people getting sea sick, which was expected. Some people got sick from the patches (prescription ones and herbal ones) that are worn behind the ear and they did much better on Dramamine (non drowsy) and they didn’t get sleepy. Outside of the seasickness (which wasn’t even that bad), the only other negative was the difficulty we experienced with our chef. We hired an on board chef and we were assigned Kipp, who was great at his craft. Cooking for 12 + 2 (crew) on a small 4 burner boat stove was something magical to watch him do and the food was good. However, he had a bad attitude towards our group and made simple conversations difficult. There were moments where he was very nice, but they were overshadowed by his terrible behavior quickly followed throughout the five days. Kipp - if you’re reading this, I know you could do better. Regardless of this, the trip and experience was absolutely incredible. The sheer beauty that BVI has to offer is absolutely spectacular and I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Feeling so blessed to have experienced this with such amazing friends and weather. Thank you Navigare for making the trip possible.

Great BVI Catamaran Cruise
We just finished our BVI Catamaran cruise and it was spectacular. We had good weather. Navigare’s service at the Tortola office by Abril. was very good and the boat was very clean and in excellent condition. We had a problem with the fresh water pump and the service team immediately repaired it. I have no words to appreciate Dawn Fingers’ pre cruise and booking excellent service. Finally, I must mention that Bradley was a very knowledgeable captain and he attended to our wishes. He was very kind to the kids. Definitely we will repeat Navigare.

Captain Bradley St Croix
Our trip was amazing! Captain Brad was so very knowledgeable & skilled and we were left with the feeling that he could literally sail with his eyes closed. Whether you want to expand your skills around sailing or you want to just sit back and be sailed around the beautiful BVI’s, Bradley is a fabulous choice. We learned so much in just a week. Bradley was open and flexible when discussing the itinerary before we began our adventure. We visited beautiful places and enjoyed delicious dinners (especially that garlic lobster pasta). If you’re lucky enough to spend time sailing with him, you’ll be left with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime⛵️🫶🏽☀️

Kevin, the Captain of Captains
The trip was amazing. The boat was amazing. Captain Kevin took care of absolutely everything. Things to note: I get seasick easily, I took scopolamine and as a result everything was great. You stay in great tranquil bays. We saw all the cool stuff, and Kevin sailed for us most of the time, which is great. Air conditioning was great, I recommend that. Also, we had internet. Ability to cook. Great places to eat. Literally everything I imagined the trip could be and more. It was a great time. I highly recommend Navigare Yatching and their boats and crew.

Navigare the best!
Can’t say enough good things about navigare! From the front office crew, Patrice was amazing getting us on the boat and advice on where to provision etc. Dennis was the handoff captain and went above and beyond to explain boat systems and general operation. Will definitely be using them in the future

It was the trip of a lifetime for our family!
We had a wonderful week-long sailing trip with our immediate family aboard a beautifully furnished 45’ Fontaine Pajot catamaran. We sailed from Nanny Cay to Virgin Gorda around to Jost Van Dyke and back and enjoyed seeing all the adjacent islands in-between. We had beautiful BVI weather and clear blue waters. Our skipper, Dennis Tyson, was fun to be with and very knowledgeable! He went out of his way to show us a great time taking us to all the snorkeling sites and points of interest that you wouldn’t want to miss! He even caught fresh fish for us to cook and it was a delicious treat. We didn’t want to leave the BVI and we can’t wait to go back! 😊⛵️🌅

The Best Vacation Ever
I just got back from my first-ever trip with Navigare and I am absolutely amazed! It was truly a trip of a lifetime! We stayed on the yacht “No Shoes” with 9 people total, and we fit perfectly! The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, providing the perfect blend of luxury and adventure. The front desk staff at Nanny Cay Marina were exceptional. They were not only helpful and kind but went above and beyond to ensure our trip was seamless. From arranging taxis to and from the airport to providing us with local tips and recommendations, their service was impeccable. The boat itself was immaculate and well-maintained. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay! The views from the deck were stunning, and we spent our days exploring beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, making unforgettable memories. Navigare provided excellent support throughout our journey, ensuring we were well-prepared and had everything we needed. I never wanted to leave! This trip has set a high standard for future vacations, and I can’t wait to sail with Navigare again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an extraordinary travel experience!

My time with Navigare in the BVIs
I had the most amazing experience with Navigare and would recommend it to anyone! I traveled through the British Virgin Islands for a week with my best friends! The customer service is amazing and the entire team is very responsive. If we ever had matinence issues, someone was at our boat within an hour to come address them. I would go back in a heartbeat!! It was the best trip of my life!!

Amazing vacation with Navigare!!
I recently got to experience an amazing vacation with Navigare this July 2024. We chose to go on this trip for my friends 23rd birthday and we had the absolute best time. We had our own captain so we were able to plan out exactly where we wanted to go each day. We started in Tortola, drove down to Virgin Gorda, got to experience The Baths which was amazing as well. Its about a 1.5 mile walk through hills and caves and ocean rocks. The scenery was to die for and the hike was not hard at all. We then sailed to Bitter End, had an amazing dinner and such fun vibes. The bar scene was so fun there and everyone so kind. Specifically, No Shoes was the boat we had the pleasure of staying on. We all slept so comfortably, the rooms were very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Each room had a nice bathroom/shower, although we decided to shower on the back of the boat with the fresh water every night because it was more fun! I highly recommend Navigare for your next island vacation. It was so much fun being able to travel to different islands all around the British Virgin Islands with all of my best friends. Navigare also has the most amazing staff and customer service. They were so kind and helpful throughout the entire planning process and always answered the phone if we needed anything on the boat. I will definitely be booking another trip with Navigare!!!

The most amazing experience!!! Thank you Captain Kevin!
Wow.. just wow... friends and I's first sailing experience in the BVI's. It was a week long charter on the Happy Fluke with 2 other couples. The weather was great and the boat was amazing. But what made this trip really extraordinary was the captain, Kevin Moses. He was so pleasant and went above and beyond to make this a very special trip for the 6 of us. Captain Kevin took us to all the usual spots for great snorkeling, and some not very well known spots. The BVI's were beautiful. NAVIGARE was great and totally recommend them for charters. Thank you Captain Kevin. We are looking forward to our next sailing adventure with you!

Fantastic charter in BVI with Captain Kevin!
I recently spent a week on the Happy Fluke with Captain Kevin Moses and I have to tell you that Captain Kevin transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary. Not only is he a wonderful spirit and great fun to hang with, his knowledge of the boat, the area, the weather, and the local vibe was exceptional. The Happy Fluke was a clean wonderful boat and well maintained. Thumbs up to Navigare for their readiness and support in making the charter effortless. Thank you again Captain Kevin for such a wonderful experience and hope to sail with you again. Captain Kevin Moses and Navigare get my highest recommendation! Sail on!

Blissful week in the BVI with Navigare and Captain Kevin
Cannot recommend Navigare Yachting in Tortola, and particularly Captain Kevin Moses, highly enough. And Lisa Nichols was a delight to work with in booking our boat. Went out for a week long charter on the Happy Fluke with two other couples (always get your captain a real cabin!) and had the trip of a lifetime. Definitely suggest trying to get a boat with a hydraulic lift - it was really a pleasure to have. We hit all the highlights of the BVI, and some secret spots we would have otherwise missed, thanks to Captain Kevin's incredible skippering. I know some people say it's too much to go to Anegada in just a week, but I strenuously disagree, especially with a professional, experienced captain. And Anegada was not to be missed - recommend renting a car from L&M Rentals (at Lobster Trap) and driving around the island. Check out the Anegada rock iguana headstart facility - only a few hundred of these little guys left. And then hit the beaches - Flash of Beauty, Willie's Big Bamboo, and Cow Wreck are all great. Tipsy's By Ann was a blast at Cow Wreck. Everything you've heard about those Anegada lobsters is true - they are monsters! We ate at Potter's and had a blast. But you absolutely cannot go to Anegada and not take a tour with Kelly's Land and Sea Tours to Conch Island, to see flamingos, snorkel Horseshoe Reef, and catch some conch for boatside ceviche - it doesn't get fresher than that! Captain Johnnie rocked! Other things not to miss are the Friday night beach BBQ at Leverick Bay, Saba Rock (tarpon feeding is fun), of course The Indians and The Caves at Norman Island, and White Bay is one of our favorite spots in the world - obviously make the obligatory stop at Soggy Dollar, but Ivan's is our hang out spot there. Tasty food at Hendo's, but really good stuff at Alice's. And there's nothing better than patties (empanadas) delivered to your boat by Sugar and Spice! And when you're over in Great Bay for Foxy's, go and eat at Pinky's (best Johnny cakes ever!), and thank me later. But the trip just wouldn't have been what it was without Kevin. He is just the best, truly. Always in good spirits, an incredible sailor, and just a pleasure to be with. He went way above and beyond to make our trip just incredible. We're already looking forward to future charters with him.

Newbie crew sailing BVI
First time sailors and Navigare Yachting was the best! Dawn Fingers ([email protected]) was excellent to work with. After many calls, emails and questions she found the perfect boat, “Be Nauti” for our crew of 6 to explore the BVI. She answered every call and question quickly and has become a friend! Navigare has great boats and captains. Kylie Everton [email protected], was our captain. She grew up on a sailboat and from the area. She knew the best snorkelling spots and experiences. She treated us like VIPs and always made us feel safe and comfortable. She is a friend for life now as well. Navigare Yachting has excellent service, support and hires quality people. This will always be our team when sailing!

Magical sailboat charter, thank you Navigare and Captain Goose!
I can’t recommend my experience with Navigare highly enough. The level of customer service and value were outstanding. Avril and Dion were an absolute pleasure. However, do yourself a favor and request Captain Goose as your Captain-he is knowledgeable, knows all the best spots, places a high emphasis on safety and in addition, was lovely to work with. I am looking forward to sailing with him again during my next trip to Tortola! Please request him as your Captain, you’ll thank me!

Navigate BVI amazing trip
Captain Kevin “Moses” sailed us to the most beautiful spots in all the BVI. We laughed, sang and felt safe every minute of the trip. His knowledge and skill was superb. (He has read every manual, inside joke). Abby prepared incredible meals that you would only find in a fine dining restaurant. This was a bucket list trip that surpassed all expectations. Avril and Jason greeted us with excitement and welcomed us back upon arrival. Oh, they even delivered lost luggage to us in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, amazing!!! The marina was spotless and the catamaran was in tiptop shape and seaworthy. Don’t look any further, Navigare is the Best!!!!

Our trip was the best!
Kamari “Animal” was an excellent captain. So patient and kind and taught us a lot. Kishi, our chef, made the best meals. Thanks for making our trip so wonderful.

Amazing experience
We enjoyed sailing with Navigare! We sailed with Captain Bradle on Michelle Ma Belle. He was a very knowledgeable skipper and “tour guide”. He made recommendations for dinner and then made reservations! He took us to great spots for snorkeling and scuba diving. The boat was super clean and we left our 5 night adventure- wanting more!

BVI 2024 - can't wait to go back!
We had our first trip to BVI with 3 couples on the Wanderer. Our captain Adrian was simply the best. He had a cool, calm demeanor and he was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the good stops. He was always welcome to share information about the boat and sailing and shared information about the islands while we were on our way. He was fun to be around but also gave us the space when he thought necessary. We had a couple boat issues during our week, but captain Adrian found the fix or had Navigare out by us in no time to get things back underway. The snorkeling and views were just amazing in BVI. The restaurants were fun and food was amazing. We found having breakfast and lunch on the boat to be easy inbetween the day's activities and we went to dinner on the islands. Adrian was good at giving restaurant recommendations and helped obtaining reservations. Adrian was keen on time as well, knowing we had items on our itenerary- making sure we had our fun, but also keeping with travel time. We would all highly recommend Adrian as your captain- you will not regret it! We cannot wait to go back- with captain Adrian by our side! Adrian! Adrian! Adrian!

BVI Catamaran Trip
Our recent trip to the BVI’s was amazing!! We chartered a catamaran with Navigare Yachting, which was absolutely perfect! The 50 foot 6 berth catamaran was more than adequate for our family of 11. Booking to sailing was seamless! In addition, our captain Rae Abraham, was outstanding! Do yourself a favor and ask for him! He knew exactly where to take us each day for the best views, snorkeling, and fun! We look forward to booking with Navigare Yachting again, and especially Captain Rae!!

5 star experience
Incredible trip made possible by Navigare Yachting. Captain Adrian and Chef Keshi were top tier! Would recommend to anyone interested in visiting the BVIs.

Outstanding BVI sailing experience with Navigare and Captain SHAKA
Navigare did a fantastic job organizing our 7-night sailing trip in the British Virgin Islands. They coordinated everything seamlessly, from ferry transport and ground transportation to outfitting the boat with all the necessary equipment. Our boat was clean, well-equipped, and ready for adventure. Captain Shaka was more than just a boat captain. He was our fishing expert, snorkeling spot guide, and even our truck driver. He went above and beyond to find a birthday cake for us, making numerous calls to make it possible. He also cooked a fabulous fish dinner with the fish we caught. His always-smiling demeanor and patient nature, especially with our 79-year-old mom and teenagers, made the trip truly memorable. Shaka took care of all our dinner reservations, ensuring we had wonderful dining experiences each night. We highly recommend Shaka as your boat captain for an exceptional sailing adventure.

Cabin Charter in the BVI
The 6 night charter exceeded our expectations. From asssitance with ground transportation (Dawn F) during initial booking, to the greeting at the base and the charter itself; all went exceptionally well. The Captain Bradley and Chef Juliannewere great. We were very well cared for. Anchorages, meals, day excursions combined for a very relaxed, enjoyable trip. Very recommended.

Best trip ever!
Beat trip ever! Capts- Adrian and Rae were awesome! Chefs Kip and Rakesheah were the bomb! Didn’t want this 7 day trip to end.

Fabulous week in the BVI’s
Spent a wonderful week in the BVI’s, sailing with Konrad and Julianna. Konrad, the skipper, was competent and intent on showing us great spots throughout the islands. One of our group had to leave early, and he modified our itinerary to accommodate the change. Julianna, our chef, made delicious meals every day, taking into account the kinds of foods we had suggested. They’re good company, too. I would highly recommend Julianna and Konrad for a great and delicious experience and would definitely sail with them again. They get 5 stars!

Sailing the BVI
We had an amazing time on our trip to the BVI! Captain Brad was awesome and the entire experience was a once in a lifetime… thanks Navigare!

Great experience in BVI!
We had a fantastic time with our captain, Adrien. He gave us great recommendations for food, fixed minor technical issues on the boat, and was a super chill guy to be around. Highly recommend for any trip you want to do in BVI!

1 week in paradise with Adrian/Navigare Yachting
Fantastic week at sea with our excellent skipper Adrian, who showed us the most beautiful bays and places in the BVI. The sea is crystal clear and you can snorkel well. We saw lots of manta rays, octopuses, turtles, squid and various coral fish. We also had the opportunity to fish while sailing. The boat was superbly equipped with everything you need (air conditioning, WiFi, power generator, fully equipped kitchen, toilet, shower, grill, large bed, fins and diving goggles/snorkel, swimming noodle, etc.). We mostly cooked ourselves and always had the opportunity to go shopping. A unique experience!!! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Cruising the BVI
We rented a 45 ft catamaran for 6 nights in the British Virgin Islands and had an amazing time! The check-in process with Navigare was smooth and easy. The boat was very clean and organized and had many of the basic supplies. Leading up to the trip, I found it easy to get questions answered and recommendations on companies for transportation, water toys, fishing etc. We also hired a captain for the boat and feel lucky to have been assigned Captain Shaka. He was very professional and his experience around the islands largely contributed to the trip being so much fun! He took our list of places we wanted to go and created a great itinerary while also including us in any decisions as the trip progressed. He made the trip a lot of fun while still making you feel very safe with him as the captain. We would definitely recommend Navigare and Captain Shaka to anyone planning a sailing trip to the BVI.

Family Trip in BVI
Our family had the best week in the BVI’s!! Thank you to Navigare for everything but especially thank you to Captian Rae and Chef Kipp!! They are absolutely the BEST and they took such great care of us!!

Best charter rental on Tortola!
Amazing staff and customer service throughout our charter of a 42' Lagoon Catamaran. From the front arrival desk with Avril and team to The briefing team and the team that helps for technical support, repairs and even helps safely bring the boat into the harbor at Nanny Cay- each person was kind and professional. I'll use them again for sure!

BVI Bluffed Up Crew!!!
A true bucket list, must do trip. From the gorgeous very well equipped 54 foot catamaran sailboat, to the the captain above all captains, SHAKA, to the gorgeous Caribbean waters and the painkillers that leave you in a state of euphoria. This trip to BVI with captain Shaka is top notch, well planned, beyond fun and a completely relaxing experience with a touch of adventure!!!!!!

10/10 absolutely amazing!
This was an incredible cruise with navigare yachting tours. Make sure you ask for Adrian as your captain as he was awesome. We went to magical beaches with crystal clear waters and had the best time. The boat was luxurious for 5 people. I strongly recommend this company and Adrian as your captain! You will not be disappointed as we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days on our boat, naughty mollie!

An Unforgettable Week!
We can't say enough great things about the folks at Navigare and our time in the BVI's. From initial booking a year in advance, all the way up to our last day on the boat, the Navigare team delivered amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Brad was the absolute best...a fantastic and thoughtful captain and also a tremendous host in this truly special part of the world. We will be back and we will definitely book through Navigare!

To Sail with Shining Stars.
We have now sailed with the shining stars. We have sailed with other companies but none by far has compared to Navigare. Every day of planning with Navigare started with "Dawn". What a great experience this has been working with Dawn. In every way she has been there to guide us in the right direction with reservations, ideas, even guiding us with transportation. They don't get any better that what we have experienced with Dawn and Navigare. Always pointing a Finger in the right direction. We love Navigare and the above and beyond customer service they they have given to us. Every dock hand, and the dock master, Dian, were as helpful as they come. Listening to every word and helping out in every way. As Dian said. "Listening to the customers only makes them better." Oh, and let's not forget Nanny Cay. What a beautiful Marina to stay the night or nights in. I could go on and on. This was truly one of the most memorable vacations in my life. We are coming back for more, and more, and more.... Drew & Lisa

Fun Sailing the BVIs!
We had 4 couples on a Bali 46 and it was a perfect fit for us! So much space to lounge, play cards and enjoy all of the views! I can’t say enough about how much fun we had! Capt Shaka did an awesome job getting us around the islands! A great guy and tons of fun! Ask for Shaka!

Adrian & Rae - the best captains!
A fantastic week with Navigare Yachting. Our captains were Adrian and Rae who were super knowledgeable, helpful and great fun to be around. See you again soon!

Thanks to Captain Rae
We have sailed three times now in three different countries. Each trip and charter company is a little different. The one common thing with all is slow difficult communications by email. You are spending a lot of money to do one of these trips so it feels a bit uncomfortable when the emails are so slow to return and miss questions asked. As far as check in and check out, this company was simple, smooth and right on. We had read other reviews and saw several positive reviews on Rae. We put in a special request for him to which the company honored. They gave us direct contact with him so we could plan. We sent our requested itinerary and our captain tried to hit all our spots plus more. Rae was over the top a good communicator. Because I am interested in sailing he was a great instructor. Of all our trips, we sailed more than motored most of the trip which is so much nicer. Rae is truly a great Captain and very confident and efficient with the sailing and boat handling. Overall we had an amazing trip. The boat was a 46’ catamaran Lagoon and in great shape. It was very clean and ready for us. We had no mechanical issues and recommend the size and layout.

Beautiful time yachting in the BVI
We did a 7 day crewed yacht experience and had an awesome chief Juliana all the food was delicious and beautiful presentation. We were very well taken care of by both captain Conrad and Juliana. This was my family’s 3rd yachting experience in the BVI and our first time using this company, we will use them again!!

Incredible Birthday Party Cruise!
The whole crew was excellent. What a magical experience! Shaka was a great captain. Julianna made delicious meals every day! The boats were brand new and well fitted.

Captain Shaka. Best skipper ever in the BVI!
Just back from a week in the BVI on Pebbles, A 46 foot catamaran chartered from Navigare Yachting. Unfortunately we had a rocky start. Provisions from Bobby’s supermarket did not arrive despite us nagging Navigare several times, Navigare failed to tell us about the skipper’s food arrangements, and they did not put us in touch with the skipper until our arrival. Communication by Navigare was very poor. Luckily Captain Shaka saved the day. He was calm, professional, good fun, and his local knowledge was invaluable. He suggested a great passage plan and itinerary and always managed to get us the best mooring spots. He also recommended and booked the best restaurants for us. He became a good friend. He helped make our holiday thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable. If we return to the BVI we want Shaka to be our skipper!

BOOK. THE. TRIP. !!!!
The most unforgettable experience!! I can’t recommend them enough. The boat itself was clean and comfortable and the service was incredible. Captain Brad and Chef Julianna made it a million times better and I’ll never forget them :) truly magical moments worth every penny

Best crew ever!
Julianna and Bradley were the BEST chef and captain. I couldn’t imagine this experience without them. They became amazing friends by the end of the experience and the food was seriously unforgettable. I wish I could take Julianna with me everywhere! They were incredibly professional and provided us with above and beyond service and comradery on board.

Just fantastic, everything I hoped it would be!
It was wonderful. We chartered a 50' catamaran, the boat was beautiful, excellently prepped and spotless. It is a boat, so we had some issues, but the technical support was very helpful and addressed all the issues. The office staff were efficient and welcoming. Big shout out to Chef Kipp, who put the experience over the top for us. Every meal was fantastic. We had planned on steaks one night, and while on Anegada we bought some live lobsters that had been caught earlier in the day. It has been a while since I've had lobster, so what a treat. Kipp also made arrangements to have a family style dinner on Jos Van Dyke, at Cool Breeze. The traditional island food was out of this world. Thanks Kipp for the recommendation. The team at Navigare Yachting were first class. I was a bit worried having always used The Moorings in the past. We will be back.

Navigare Yachting BVI’s great Experience!!!
We Bareboat chartered with Navigare Yachting in Nanny Cay, Tortola, BVI’s, via the Samboat App. Second time using Samboat- so easy and, for us, reliable. We charted a 2023 Lagoon 46’ Catamaran- Kokomo. Wow, a well specd boat and all descriptions/ pictures were accurate and factual. Communication about our arrival, rental of additional water toys etc from Avril and the Navigare team were exceptional. Their Marina Set up and dock staff were really great. Definitely would use them again. Highly recommend. Well done Navigare. Mark T.

Jays’NSeas and Captain Rae
Sailing with Navigare Yachting was an experience of a lifetime for my husband, myself and 6 close friends. Our captain, Rae and our chef, Rakesheah were exceptional. They made us feel loved and took great care of our many needs. Rae gave us so much history of the islands as we were sailing. Fun sitting with him on the captains deck. Rakesheah spent hours in the kitchen preparing us three delicious meals every day! I don’t know how she did it al! The week of sailing on the Jays’N Seas Lagoon 50 this catamaran has four double rooms, two single rooms, and four bathrooms/showers. WiFi, stereo, AC, full equipped galley, watermaker, refrigerator, freezer, oven, microwave, blender, toaster, coffee maker, barbecue grill, and coolers This catamaran trip was magical as we sailed from Nanny Cay all the way up to Anegada (yummy lobsters) stopping to snorkel at every island including Virgin Gorda(the baths) Spanish Town, The Dogs , Norman Island, The Indians, Cooper Island, Salt Island, Peter Island and Josh Van Dyke. We covered the entire area. We had delicious food cooked for us and the days that we ate dinner out Rae gave us great suggestions. Lobster to die for in Anegada! We trolled and my husband caught a King mackerel. We were served delicious fish tacos. If you are contemplating the British Islands, definitely book with this catamaran company and ask for Rae! You won’t be sorry! Trust me!

Trip of a Lifetime
Fantastic! Had a 50 ft Cat, Captain Rae- EVERYDAY- figured out the very best spots to go to in a custom way for our group. He figured out the very best snorkeling- and skillfully AVOIDED the crowds of tourists so we had a private and serene experience. We quickly figured out to leave it to Captain Rae with his experience to give us a tour of a lifetime! Our group was of friends in our 60’s plus- and after this experience we will be friends for life. The Catamaran was sparkling clean, luxurious, beds super comfy. We sailed BVI- yes- all those blues in every photo you’ve ever seen truly is real. This trip blew my mind.

Favorite vacation!
We chartered “Wanderer” for our family vacation this year and we had the best time. The Islands were incredible, we had the most gorgeous weather and our captain, Adrian was awesome. I was unsure of how staying on a small boat for five days with a stranger would be but he is so calm and went out of his way to make sure we got all of the experiences we were hoping for. Fishing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, bar hopping- we got our fill of everything. The people of the BVI’s are amazing and I couldn’t recommend visiting there enough!

100/10!!! I LOVED MY EXPERIENCE!!!
My experience with Navigare Yachting was truly incredible. It was a perfect 10 out of 10! I had an absolutely amazing time. Originally booked for two people, unfortunately, my guest lost their passport at the last minute and couldn't join me. Initially discouraged, I almost canceled my trip, but I'm so glad I didn't miss out on this unforgettable experience. I chartered the Sweet Escape yacht in the British Virgin Islands, and I fell in love with the boat immediately. The modern kitchen was fantastic, and there was ample space both indoors and outdoors. I particularly enjoyed how the back of the boat opened up completely, offering breathtaking views and a refreshing breeze while cruising the ocean. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and exuded a luxurious modern vibe. Captain Bradley was simply amazing! He helped me plan my itinerary to explore the islands. I explained the kind of experience I was seeking, and he nailed it perfectly. He took me to incredible beaches, landmarks, restaurants, and bars. The British Virgin Islands are truly stunning, and I felt extremely safe and welcomed throughout my stay. Chef Abagail was also outstanding. She reached out to me days before my trip to learn about my dietary restrictions and preferences to create the perfect menu. Caribbean cuisine is my favorite, and it was her specialty. Every meal she prepared was bursting with flavor and made with love, incorporating amazing spices just the way I like it. Despite traveling alone and initially feeling apprehensive, both my chef and captain made me feel like I was among longtime friends. They even joined me for walks on the beach and lunch, which I greatly appreciated. Their companionship made solo travel incredibly enjoyable. We shared music and sailed the ocean, creating unforgettable memories together. I would gladly repeat this experience anytime with the same crew! Thank you, Navigare, for providing me with such an incredible life experience. This vacation ranks among my all-time favorites.

JaxNJoe catamaran & Captain Rae!
I have always wanted to sail in the BVI, so when I came across the JaxNJoe FP Lucia 40 on Navigare's site, I knew it was perfect for our family of three. As an owners version, it has one master cabin with a large shower, and then two other bedrooms with their own bathrooms. We were assigned Captain Rae and he was incredible. From the start, he answered all our questions and reserved a slip at Leverick Bay for the BBQ night. And the staff at Navigare were so helpful in the reservation process and making sure we had taxis waiting to and from Nanny Cay. It was a seamless experience! We always had the best anchorage spots in every bay we visited - Norman Island, Anegada, White Bay & Great Harbor. And his restaurant recommendations were spot on, on every island. Captain Rae picked up some fishing gear in Anegada and caught a Barracuda - which my son really got a kick out of. And he took some amazing turtle videos with my underwater housing. I don't think there were any issues with the boat - if there were they were taken care of without us knowing. The only thing I would say is that the Air Conditioning was too cold! All in all, this was a great boat, with a great captain and a top notch company. We can't wait to return someday!

Great service, excellent boat, and the perfect captain!
What a great trip! Our boat was ready on time and as advertised. Everyone with Navigare from our booking agent, the staff at Nanny Cay base, to the team that repaired our mainsail mere hours after the issue was reported were focused on providing a great experience for our group. In particular, our captain, Brad, was the best! While our safety was always his top priority, he helped us tremendously with his local knowledge. He seemed to know everyone everywhere we visited, and made sure we were well taken care of. He was pleasant, wittty, and it was evident from the minute he stepped on the boat he knew what he was doing. Thank you Captain Brad (Brad, Brad, Brad) for all you did to help our charter exceed our already high expectations!

Best vacation!
The yacht was in excellent condition with everything working properly, which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful islands of the BVI! Every restaurant we visited had amazing food to go with really nice people! What made the trip the most memorable though for me was having Captain Shaka sailing us through these incredible Islands. He was such a confidence/competent and humble Captain that was very knowledgeable about the BVI’s. He was very easy to talk to and he listened to everyone so well with our questions. When my wife and I return we will definitely be requesting Captain Shaka!

Best week of our lives-Thanks Shaka!!
We are ruined for any other captain or yachting company after spending a week on a Navigare catamaran sailing with Captain Shaka. The ship was gorgeous and surprisingly roomy for a 46’, each of us four couples had our room and bathroom. The Beau Budd was meticulously cleaned and well supplies. Captain Shaka only had one hard rule: everyone be safe. It was clear he wanted us to have a wonderful week. He was so accommodating to our requests, he knew the best restaurants, the best mooring spots, the best snorkeling and he made the most of our time at each island. He also makes amazing smoothies! My husband has always been interested in sailing and Shaka was so generous with his time and knowledge, literally showing him the ropes. Shaka is very professional but very personable and has a wonderful playlist along with fabulous insight into island culture. We can’t wait to come back.

Phenomenal
Absolutely incredible. Top service from start to finish. We requested and got Capt. Shaka who was aware of all our wants and needs. Would recommend without reservation to everyone!

Perfect trip
Exceptional trip. Our captain Shaka was experienced and knowledgeable. He was fun to be around and was able to provide us with a great experience. If we are ever able to do this trip again, we will definitely use Navigare and also definitely request Shaka as our captain.

A bucket-list experience with Skipper Jake and Navigare Yachting
Our skipper Jake turned what would have been a great trip into a truly amazing one! We spent five days sailing around the BVIs with Jake's expert guidance and his calm, fun, and personable demeanor. And the Navigare yachting experience was seamless and just as advertised. We all can't wait to go back and do it again!

I will be back! Unforgettable!
The dream vac started when we walked into marina office and was greeted by the smiling kind young ladies whom treated us like royalty! They introduced us to our captain and he had our week very well planned for a spectacular sailing experience with memories to last forever! We had a new 46’ Lagoon! Captain Trinny was awesome! His nickname 😊

Happy Fluke
The trip was amazing! We had the best crew and they showed us some beautiful places! We saw sharks and turtles and it was incredible! It was a very memorable trip:)

A GREAT CAPTAIN MAKES A GREAT TRIP!
A long time friend and I had been dreaming about doing a BVI charter for years. Finally retired, we started to plan it and invited 4 others to join us! We set out on "Good Vibrations' a Fontaine Pajot Saba 50 in Nov 2023. Lisa Nichols from Navigare helped us with choosing the catamaran and setting things up. She was always there to answer our questions and streamline that step. Our Captain Sandro Boduljak was fantastic from the first conversation we had a couple weeks prior to our sailing. He communicated, listened and advised us from the get go and never waivered during our whole trip...always communication about our itinerary and the weather, with our safety in mind. He made reservations for us and transported us by dingy to and from all the fun places we stopped. The Captain can make or break a trip and we got so lucky with Sandro., We were 6 very opinionated women and he was so patient with us...always the gentleman and the professional. He was a pleasure to be with. He kept the boat spotless always cleaning and planning and when we had a problem on the boat, which we did, he tried to fix it or make it better. As we all know things happen unexpectedly on a boat and we did experience a few issues. To all of our surprise the freezer stopped working and we lost our provisions when they defrosted without us knowing. The A/C system and ventilation system had an unpleasant odor in our rooms, our ice maker on the deck froze up and new cushions Navigare said would be there weren't and no cushions were on the bow for us to lay on nor any back cushions on the fly bridge. Sandro did what he could to make us comfortable laying out alternate cushions for us, he broke up the ice for us and attended to improving the odor in the cabins. There was nothing that could be done about our provisions but he alerted Navigare and when we returned Navigare did reimburse us for a portion of it, which we appreciated. It was a fantastic week exploring...an adventure of a lifetime that none of us will ever forget and we have Sandro to thank for making it special and fun for all of us. I would tell you to request him if you get the chance! Navigare is lucky to have him and we definitely hope to do another Charter with Sandro in the future.

Genialer Segeltörn mit super Crew
Wir waren eine Woche an Bord der Endless Summer und hatten eine fantastische Woche auf den BVI. Das ist schon unser zweiter Törn in der Region und es hat uns wieder sehr gut gefallen. Wir hatten einen sehr erfahrenen Skipper und eine fantastische Köchin. Beide haben erheblich dazu beigetragen das wir geniale Woche in der Karibik verbringen durften. An dieser Stelle noch einmal recht herzlichen Dank an die Crew Sandro und Lucia. Ich denke wir werden im nächsten Jahr wieder mit den Beiden auf Tour gehen.

Navigare - BVI hits a home run for us… again!
What a incredible adventure! 5 star all the way! Everything from your administrative staff at the base, to the beautiful condition of the 42 Lagoon “Blu Heron” to the timely and efficient response from support staff while underway. We were part of a 5 boat flotilla of Catamarans that sailed around the islands for a week. The checkout was seamless and thorough. Special mention to Jason on the docks who gave us an excellent check in tutorial on our boat and got us dialed in. The boat was immaculate and all systems, snorkeling gear and dinghy worked perfectly. The sailing was fun and the snorkeling was beautiful. Highlights of our trip were Saba Rock (and the 5 o’clock tarpon feeding), Bitter End Club, Foxy’s, Bubbly Baths, and don’t miss the Indians for snorkeling!! It was sad to leave the boat, the base, and our new friends. But we will be back soon!

A super life experience!
Everything was great! Super experience sleeping on just in a different bay each night, snorkeling in different locations during the week and great dinners in a new location each night. Felt like we experienced a lot more on boat. Our Captains ( Konrad and Gregory) were tremendous and we would recommend you ask for them by name.

BVI yacht 2024 seven day island trip
Jake was our skipper.He navigated us thru the beautiful british virgin islands with expertise and pleasure..It wax a truly memorable experience

Five stars for BVI
Just got back from an amazing trip in the BVI with Navigare. We did bareboat with skipper on Good Vibrations, a Fountaine Pajot Saba 50. The boat was in great shape and well appointed with extras such icemakers and a dingy lift. We booked with Lisa at Navigare who was helpful and communicative. What really put the trip over the top and made it the trip of a lifetime was our skipper, Jake Navarro. His knowledge of the BVI and service he provided was truly outstanding. Any skipper can get you from point a to point b(hopefully!) but Jake went the extra mile and made us feel like we were guests on a super yacht. Would def recommend the BVI, Navigare, and Jake to anyone!

Fantastic
Besides amazing scenery, water and beach’s. The captions were welcoming and friendly. They were accommodating easy to get along with and very pleasant. They never felt intrusive and I always felt save.

Fun in the sun in the Caribbean
We had a very good experience, mostly because of our Captains Konrad and Gregory They were very informative, funny, and would do anything we asked of them. They were attentive to our needs when we wanted help and stayed out of our way the rest of the time. I would recommend these 2 captains to my friends.

wonderful experience
Great trip. Carry Ross is simply the best. She went above and beyond. Our capt was Konrad and if he is not the best capt in the fleet, he is certainly one of the best. Super easy to get along with. Great personality. Lots of fun and very accommodating. It was obvious that he cared. He also had an excellent understanding of the boat and the islands. Carrie and Konrad made the trip very enjoyable. 5 stars to both of them.

The Myer's Yacht, "Sand Dollar" at Navigare on Tortolla, BVI is perfect for a Memorable Sailing Adventure
Rick and Mary Jo's yacht , Sand Dollar, at Nanny Cay, British Virgin Islands, represents the opportunity to experience the trip of a lifetime sailing the surrounding islands. The 46 foot yacht has everything you need, including AC, propane stove, generator, and twin diesel engines that provide excellent value for the money. It also has GPS and auto pilot, along with a six person dinghy. The berths are incredibly comfortable and each of the 4 main berths has its own private bathroom. The Navigare office staff are incredibly helpful. You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful Wonderful
Very professional & very friendly. Minimal technical issues which were handled fast and friendly. Great wifi on the boat. Local cell phone was super helpful arranging dinners and taxis.

Sailing the BVIs on Bottoms Up with Captaib Rae Abraham of Navigare Yschting
I was one of a group of 10 who chartered Bottoms Up with Captain Rae Abraham of Navigare Yachting. We definitely did not draw the short stick with. Him.hHe personable, professional and definitely knew his stuff.. He did everything he could to follow our agenda, and a couple of times had to change it because the conditions would be too dicey. I trusted his judgement and I always felt safe with him.. he got us into the best Anchorage spots, arranged dinner, reservations, and taxis when needed. I can’t rave enough about him. The boat was very nice, and my only real complaint is that each boat should be equipped with some sort of stepstool to facilitate getting on and off the boat for those of us who are not so agile

Brad the man!
Our trip in the BVI was back in November. I'm so happy with had Captain Brad. A lot of places we went, people would say something like, "You got Captain Brad? He's the best. You're going to have a great time." They weren't lying. We felt safe, comfortable and had an amazing time. He went above and beyond. Hope he's our captain again!!! The front office was awesome. Even gave us a discount on wifi. Thank you!!

Women Sailing Fun
There is nothing like being on a luxury sailing yacht with a knowledgeable captain like Captain Rae. This trip was about a group of women and a (stowaway husband) who all wanted to sail. The BVI tour of islands can be a bar hopping extravaganza but Rae balanced the popular shores with the quiet places. I appreciated the effort that was made to balance sailing with anchorage. With the winds being up to 34 knots, this yacht was stable and sailed like a freight train. The only issue I had was the generator that runs near the starboard stateroom near the bow. The design of a luxury yacht without insulation from the vibration to this generator makes no sense. The sleeping was like being in an engine. The other staterooms did not have this issue.

Sailing away
First time chartering and what a fantastic adventure! Gorgeous scenery, turquoise waters, and very chill atmosphere. The best part for me was sailing along those waters and could not have done it without the very capable Bradly who made this trip the best ever. Bradly demonstrated his abilities every day keeping us entertained and safe and even saved a life! His calm and friendly ways made him so easy to be with! So thank you to Joyrides and to our new friend, Bradly!

Rae is the golden ticket!
We have a groupnat our sailing club called Women On the Water (#WOW) and a few of us from that group decided to organize a trip to the BVIs. We were a group of all ages (40s - 70s) of varying sailing expertise and with very differing physical capabilities. Even though we were sailors, we opted to hire a captain and we were paired up with Rae. Rae is such a kind soul, he really brought peace to a boat chocked full of opinionated women! His local knowledge brought us to some very interesting places, and most importantly kept us safe! His history of being a commercial diver and his experience as a captain made him the expert of things both above a below the water! Rae was able to point out sea turtles, stingrays, and dolphins multiple times. We even saw a thrasher shark!! A first for me! Rae was able to get us a front row spot at every harbour/anchorage and he even got us on the webcam at the soggy dollar so we could brag to our friends back home! Rae could easily manage the boat himself, but when we chose to chip in, Rae let us fill the roles we pleased. It was pretty awesome helming in 30 knots between islands getting to Scrubb Island! I would recommend Rae 100%!

My “Piece of Mind”
Our week aboard Piece of Mind with Captain Jimmy was an unforgettable journey blending luxury, adventure, and unparalleled hospitality. Jimmy's expert navigation and affable demeanor made us feel not just as guests, but as friends on a remarkable voyage. The yacht itself is a floating masterpiece, combining opulence with functionality. From plush cabins to state-of-the-art technology, every detail enhanced our experience. Jimmy's well-crafted itinerary took us to secluded coves and vibrant ports, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. In retrospect, Piece of Mind offers a magical blend of luxury and adventure, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an exceptional sailing experience.

Sandro and Lucia are THE BEST
My family took a weeklong trip cruising the BVI on the catamaran “Joy” to celebrate my sister’s 40th and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The boat’s name was perfect to characterize this vacation. First, I can’t say enough about our skipper Sandro!! He was so knowledgeable about the islands and knew all the best spots for any activity we were interested in. He made suggestions and gave us tips but he also always asked us what we wanted and was flexible with the schedule. Additionally, he kept us safe on the boat and he was constantly working—planning, preparing, cleaning, driving, and dinghying us around. Now for Lu! Her food is delicious. She was nonstop making us meals, snacks, shopping for fresh ingredients, making us cocktails, and asking us if we needed anything. She is so sweet and skilled and smart; we loved every minute with her. She had many recommendations and answered a million questions a day that we had 😂. We will never forget her. They both fit in perfectly with our family and made sure we felt comfortable, safe, and happy. They were a perfect amount of professional and friendly. We love them. You have to book a trip with them ASAP! You won’t regret it.

Fun in the sun
We just spent a week with a Ladies Sailing Group, 9 of us, and 2 brave men. One was a stowaway, the other was Captain Rae on Bottoms Up, a 50 foot Lagoon. As most of us are seasoned sailors and wanted the sails up, Rae was enthusiastic for that. He reefed in when appropriate and we were In 20 - 25 knot winds for our entire trip, we zoomed around the waters of the BVI. Rae even got up at 6am to make sure we got front row anchorage at the Soggy Dollar. An amazing trip. The Navigare home crew were pleasant, helpful and always professional. Definitely a 2 thumbs up experience.

Beautiful boat and a great captian.
We just got back from the best 2 weeks of sailing that we have ever had. We have chartered sailboats numerous times before in the BVI’s through Navigare. We sailed a Fountaine Pajot Tanna 47, “Instigator”. It was a great boat and very comfortable for 4 couples. Navigare had the boat ready and took very good care of us. I have a bareboat captain’s license but usually only sail once a year so this time I decided to hire a captain to help me hone my skills for our first week. Our captain for the week was Bradley St. Croix This was the best thing I have ever done to improve my sailing skills. I learned more from him in 6 days than I have learned in the last 15 years. Bradley didn’t do things for us he made us sail and offered constructive criticism.

Gran Semana a Bordo
La experiencia fué fantástica. El capitán Toni muy profesional y gentil. Navegamos en total seguridad. Siempre nos consultó el itinerario, brindando información y opciones de las distintas posibilidades en los destinos. Sus sugerencias fueron siempre acertadas y acorde a las necesidades del grupo. La cocinera Tea muy amorosa, sonriente y amable. Siempre estuvo muy dispuesta a satisfacer nuestros pedidos, con buena voluntad y alegría. Cocina muy bien y cumplió con los horarios establecidos. La única sugerencia para ella es planificar con antecedencia un menu y hacer las compras básicas en base a ese menu para mejor organización de la parte cocina. No le doy 5 estrellas al review por que en el catamaran faltaban sillas para que nos podamos sentar todos a la mesa, tanto adentro cuanto afuera. Tuvimos que sentar 2 personas arriba de un cooler durante toda la semana, el resto nos apretamos en los asientos que hay, y mismo asi, una o dos personas quedaban fuera de la mesa. Tampoco había un mantel o individuales o algo para cubrir la mesa. Había un par de almohadones rotos y deshilachados en la parte externa. Fuera estos detalles, el catamaran estaba en muy buenas condiciones, bien conservado, con buenas sabanas y toallas, todo funcionó sin problemas. Recomiendo mucho esta experiencia, tanto en familia como con amigos. Fue inolvidable y repetiremos de todas maneras.

Superior
Contratamos un lagoon 45 por 7 días en las BVI y la experiencia fue inolvidable. El capitán (Tiago) fue excelente y las comidas de Juli fueron superlativas. Recomiendo este servicio y a sus tripulantes que nos hicieron pasar un viaje inolvidable

Highly recommended Captain Brad!!
We visited the BVI in January of 2024 for our third catamaran trip. We can’t say enough about Captain Brad!! He was the perfect captain for our group! Brad was on top of making dinner reservations for us & creating a fantastic itinerary for the week. We traveled with our teenage kids & the boys all loved him. He made our group feel safe & comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Captain Brad for a couples trip or family vacation!

Amazing BVI adventure with first rate captain
We had an amazing family vacation in early January 2024. I cannot say enough good things about our captain Brad. He was attentive to our requests, and made the trip so much fun for the parents and our 6 kids (ages 14 -21). Would highly recommend him for anyone looking for someone with local knowledge as well as an easy to get along with attitude.

Navigare for the win! 10/10 trip.
The crew at Navigare are incredible! We rented multiple catamarans from them, all were in stunning condition and well maintained. The staff really made our experience though, they were so accomidating and worked hard to ensure we had a great trip. Special thanks to Arielle and Jason, both were so helpful during our 2 weeks in the BVIs. Good people you can trust! I would absolutely use them again and recommend to future travelers.

10/10 Recommend Chef Julianna
I cannot say enough about our chef, Julianna. She went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. Her cooking is phenomenal and she’s so sweet and a lot of fun. She took care of all our dinner reservations, recommended amazing adventures, helped arrange taxis, and was overall a pleasure to have aboard. The week was absolutely amazing. We stayed on the Sweet Escape, which had a few minor technical and mechanical issues. The Navigare technicians were quick to meet us on whichever island we were docked to help resolve the problems. My biggest issue was with the coffee maker on the boat - it constantly leaked, making it impossible to get a good pot of coffee going, regardless of if we were at sea or docked.

BVI 2024 with Captain Rae and Navigare Yachting
Our first sailing adventure to the BVI was a lifetime experience we will never forget. Our group consisted of 4 couples and we were so fortunate to be paired with Captain Rae! That made our trip above anything we could have imagined. Captain Rae was extremely professional every minute of our trip. Without him, we would of never been introduced to the real local business owners and people of the British Virgin Islands. From the beginning he asked if we had an itinerary and we did not have a definite plan so we let Captain Rae take us to where he would go. He did not disappoint. We explored so many places and with his vast knowledge of the BVI experience, we never had to wait for the next adventure. Always arriving in short order to get the best spots. His sailing and fishing knowledge really shined. Our group is well versed in water life and fishing in Wisconsin so we really connected with him as he let us experience that lifestyle in the BVI. Outside of the captain duties, Rae did things for us that we never would of expected from a captain. He opened up his personal life to help us as well. Thanks to his girlfriend Julia for all that she did. That meant a lot to us. We sailed on Pebbles from Navigare and she sailed perfectly. The entire harbor crew were very attentive to us. Anything we needed, they stepped up and supplied it to us always with a smile. I cannot stress enough on booking with Navigare and requesting Captain Rae. You most certainly have not truly experience the entire BVI lifestyle until you sail with Captain Rae! Until we meet again....

Did not disappoint! Request Toni as your captain!
The boat was super fun but Toni really made the trip! He was a knowledgeable captain who really navigated our trip well. He made the trip fun while also keeping us all safe and ensuring that we hit the right stops at the right time for the weather we had. The boat was nice and comfortable but like I said Toni our captain really made the trip! We would def book with this company again and request Toni again! You won’t regret a BVI trip.

Amazing BVI sailing trip!
What an awesome adventure with Navigare yachting and our captain Rae Abraham. Wish we knew him beforehand because his professionalism, yachting expertise and especially his wealth of local knowledge would have saved me any worries. I can’t say enough about Rae. From the second we met him he was on the clock doing everything, making sure we had the best moorings with great views to wake up to and end your days, short dinghy trips in to all of our stops, contacts waiting for us to complete day trips without wasting time, great reservations and attention to details I would have never even thought of. He has great advice on provisioning and even simple things about spending time on a yacht and adventuring through the BVI. We had a sailing catamaran, Lagoon 46, that was in great shape, a great, enjoyable ride and Rae kept it that way. He had to troubleshoot a couple issues and got them taken care of immediately. He had reasonable expectations with us, I was able to learn a little from him and he kept a few of us that can’t sit still and need something to do busy😁. I look forward to going back some time and will definitely use Navigare and will be requesting Rae Abraham as our captain.

BVI First-timers
Just got home from a 7 day trip sailing the British Virgin Islands with Captain Rae. Best vacation ever!!! None of us had ever been on a trip like this before and weren’t sure how it all works. Captain Rae has a wealth of knowledge on the area, took us to all the best spots for snorkeling (my fave was The Caves), and sightseeing. He watched the weather and changed his routine to make sure we were able to access everywhere we wanted to go. He gave us great advice, told us the history of the islands as we were sailing, and even taught us about the boat and let us help. Rae has friends and connections everywhere we went. We never had to worry about getting a dinner reservation, a taxi or where to moor the boat at night. He took care of all of it! The islands are beautiful! But the best part was knowing we were in the best of hands and could relax and be stress free because Rae had it all under control. We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything Rae!!!

Celebrating a New Year - BVI 2024
We traveled the BVI on a 46 foot Lagoon Catamaran through Navigare Yachting with 4 couples in January 2024. It was an amazing experience! Navigare Yachting is a top notch company and we will sail with them again! The BVI is beautiful and we loved our visit to this special place. From snorkeling and sightseeing to the delicious food, beach bars, and shopping…the islands did not disappoint. The highlight of our trip was definitely Captain Rae! He is a skilled and knowledgeable Captain. Above that, he is a genuinely good person. Rae quickly got to know our group and went out of his way to make sure our trip was everything we hoped for and more. Captain Rae is well known in the islands and he truly went above and beyond! Rae took care of the details so we could fully immerse ourselves in the experience. He made reservations for us at restaurants like The Wonky Dog, Tipsy Shark, Coco Maya and upstairs at Leverick Bay. He took care of the anchoring and mooring details. He helped us explore the islands of Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and Tortola to name a few. He knew all the best snorkeling spots, beach bars, pristine beaches, restaurants, and shops. Captain Rae also shared some lesser known areas with us like Fisherman’s Wharf on Anegada, which was a treasure! Special thanks to Captain Rae, Avril, Jason, Dennis, and all the wonderful people at Navigare who helped make our dream trip a reality!

BVI 2024…Great start to the year!
What can I say…. BVI 2024 was way better than my wife and I expected. We had been planning to take this trip for a few years and finally put it together. We are Wisconsin lake people in the summer and we looking for similar adventures in our winter season. By the luck of the draw, we were paired up with Captain Rae Abraham. What a blessing that was. Did I say he likes to fish as myself??? I’ve been in customer service business my entire life and both Navigare yachting & Captian Rae exceeded our expectations. We are already looking forward to a return visit.

Fantastic Vacation for Family & Friends
We had a wonderful time with our charter. We had eight days over New Year's with two families (four and five member each - with kids). Our crew - Toni (skipper) and Tea (chef) - were great. They were attentive, provided excellent advice on the itinerary while being open for our wishes and suggestions. The trip was laid back and fun. The vessel was in good condition (despite the fact that this was the last-ever charter on it). We had the best time. Thank you so very much for the unforgettable time. Navigare support was good (pre-, during and post-charter). We have done many charters in the Med and Caribbean over the last years and we were - once again - very happy with the time. Huge thanks to Toni and Tea - it is the crew that makes the biggest difference in these experiences and you have been great. Special shout-out to Toni who made everybody feel safe and secure at any time while ensuring that even special itinerary wishes were made possible.

Burgess Family Christmas week.
We rented two Catamarans filled with our children and grandchildren . We had the best week of our lives. The boats were fantastic but what made the trip so spectacular were our two captains , Captain Konrad and Captain Rae. It truly was a magical trip and all their hard work and knowledge of the british virgin islands helped our week go so smoothly and wonderful From the moment we rented the boats to the time we departed everyone involved was so helpful. We cannot wait to do it again. Thank you all for all you did for us. It was perfect!!!!!

A memorable welcome of 2024!
We went on a friend and family vacation and rented a 44’ catamaran. The company was very helpful in showing us everything and were organized and ready for when we arrived. The cat was great – brand new, very clean and spacious for 3 kids, four adults and a chef, Julianna. She was wonderful – super organized and communicative. She got in touch and asked what ype of menu and provisions we wanted and had everything ready for us when we arrived. She made fresh delicious meals for us that even our picky eaters inhaled. Julianna was helpful with the boat, when we needed an extra set of hands, she was helpful with bookings/itinerary and really wonderful with kids. Thank you for such memorable vacation!!

Best Catamaran Cruise Ever with the Best Crew Ever!
Where does one begin when describing the greatest experience ever? With the best crew ever! My wife, brother, aunt, and myself will never forget this once in a lifetime amazing adventure! Our Captain Sandro and his first mate/chef Lu were absolutely magnificent in every way possible. They were extremely professional, friendly, and always ready to show us the best time with infectious smiles. Whether it was taking us to the best snorkeling places in the BVIs, to having all moorings/docking & dinner reservations booked ahead of time, to their recommendations on what to do/where to go/things to see, to simply asking what our wants/needs were and fulfilling them to perfection. Speaking of perfection, Lu’s breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and painkiller drinks are second to none. This trip also meant so much to us since it was during the Christmas holiday which is usually spent with our families back home. By the end of our trip we all were family, and they will continue to be a part of our family. Our catamaran cruises in the future will always include Sandro & Lu. Kudos to you both for showing myself & my family a holiday adventure that we will never forget complete with ever lasting memories, including our evening card games of 99 & weiners. Hahaha!! You both are the best! Much Love! 😃💜

Amazing service informed crew great catamaran
Adrian was an amazing captain. We booked their extremely last minute and were so lucky to end up in such capable hands. He was the perfect companion for a 5 day sail and did an incredible job of introducing us to the British Virgin Islands. We saw all of the major spots and he had great advice helping us decide between different itineraries. He always managed to find a place to anchor or dock even on New Years with massive crowds. We will absolutely return and will specifically ask for Adrian in the future. He was extremely knowledgeable about local waters and marine life and brought us to all the best snorkeling spots, helped us fish, pointed out dolphins and turtles, and identified all the sea life we saw. We fell in love with the BVI and sailing between various islands. This is the best way to see the area I cannot imagine a better vacation and we will return next year.

The best!
We got to stay on the boat “no shoes” for a week and We had the most incredible trip ever!! Our boat captain Rae was so great! We had a bunch of small children on board and he was amazing about keeping them safe while making sure we all had the best time! The boat itself was beautiful and so comfortable. Couldn’t recommend more!!

Excellent service
we chartered a 44' catamaran to sail virgin islands, the catamaran was brand new, very comfortable and had everything we needed for a 1 week cruise the staff was excellent, and special thanks to our onboard chef Julianna who was fantastic, she made delicious meals and our kids absolutely loved her (they started eating mushrooms for 1st time when Julianna made them, they refuse to eat mushrooms at home lol) would def book via this company again. Thanks to the crew and Julianna for making an amazing trip happen.

Amazing Sailing with Jimmy Slater
Our family had a blast on Carpe Diem for a week with Captain Jimmy Slater. He took us to the best snorkeling spots and fun beach bars. He paced our cruise perfectly so that we could relax while still having time to experience the beautiful BVI beaches and locations for snorkeling. He's easy-going, flexible, fun, and knowledgeable. He gave us tips on where to go when we were exploring onshore as well. He took care of issues with the boat that were overlooked by Navigare. The gas grill didn’t work, but fortunately, the BBQ functioned. The big disappointment was the dead batteries. How was that missed in the pre-cruise prep of the boat? Jimmy contacted Navigare on day one requesting new batteries. Since the batteries couldn’t hold a charge we had to run the motor constantly for five days until Navigare technicians could replace the batteries. Not exactly what we had in mind when chartering a sailboat. I’m sure it wouldn’t have taken as long if it weren’t a holiday. Jimmy distracted us from this problem making our trip fantastic. I would highly recommend Jimmy as your captain!

First BVI Experience
Neither of us generally writes online reviews but we want to recommend Navigare Yachting & specifically as well as most importantly highly recommended captain Sandro Boduljak & chef Lucia Smoljo. We actually worked/communicated with Abbie @ BVI Yacht Charters (found them via Google search) who facilitated our booking w/Navigare since we booked late in the year and required a crew. A big shout out to Abbie for her excellent communication! We booked a 2023 Lagoon 50’ for our family of 2 adults & 3 adult kids ages 20 - 26. The boat was clean (very important to my wife!) & very well-appointed. Moreover, our check-in/check-out experience @ Nanny Cay marina was quick & easy. This was our 1st time chartering a boat & we’re not boaters/sailors per se so our review of Navigare & the boat is limited to the foregoing. The primary reason we are writing a review is to highlight Sandro & Lucia. We could go into a lot of detail but suffice it to say they both were excellent communicators, very attentive to details, very responsive & great individuals. We learned a lot from them, laughed a lot with them, enjoyed many meals together (at our insistence!) & they ensured we had an unforgettable family vacation. Lucia’s meal choices & cooking were fantastic! We hope to see them again on or off the water & wish them both the best in their future endeavors! Very fondly, Eric, Jenny & the girls from North Carolina

Great experience and amazing Captain Dominik!
We chartered Lorelei for a week during Christmas 2023 for a family vacation. Our experience was amazing. The beaches were incredible and we had a very patient, knowledgeable, friendly and experienced Captain Dominik from Croatia who always ensured that we were safe and having fun. He even made sure our toddler was happy and having fun. We would definitely recommend Navigare and Captain Dominik! Thank you for the memories.

Great BVI Sailing Vacation
Our family had a great charter experience in the BVI. Although it was the first sailing experience for most of the family, our captain, Sandro, made everyday a pleasant adventure. Our chef, Lucia, made delicious meals and made sure to have a cocktail or other treat available during the week. I would highly recommend Navigare to anyone looking for a charter company.

Best experience and best Captain ever!
Extremely great experience. Adrian was our Captain for the week. He was excellent. He took care of everything. Calm, polite and patient with the kids. The best!

Best trip ever!
Absolutely amazing trip! Our captain Bradley was the best and we had an amazing time! We would have been seriously lost without him! Thank you Navigare and Bradley, we will be back soon!

Best Sailing Festival in the BVIs!
What an amazing week! We just spent one week with 11 different catamarans for a sailing festival. The winds were strong and the boat performed beautifully. Everything worked on the boat as well! It was clean and in really good shape. We had a chef aboard as well, Tea from Croatia! She helped kept us fed for the whole week and was always on when we needed assistance or had any suggestions for restaurants in the area. She was so lovely to have aboard!

My amazing sailing trip on BVI!
I spent 5 days with my collegues on the amazing Lagoon sailing yacht with captain St. Croix. He was knowledgeable and a super nice and fun person. We had the best time visiting most of the islands, beaches and snorkeling spots in BVI. The boat is full equiped. Four rooms (with airconditioner) with their own shower and toilet. I would recomend this trip to anyone that loves the ocean, saling, snorkeling and the delicious cocktails on the beach of white bay (Jost Van Dyke). Definitely would visit again! And if possible with captain St. Croix 😜👍🏼

A great week in the BVI’s
Thank you to the entire Navigare team! From our first phone call to our departure, everyone assisted in making our week aboard Kallisti an awesome one. Our captain, Toni and our chef, Tea were amazing. They were very skilled aboard and knowledgeable of the area. They made sure we had smooth sailing, beautiful snorkeling experiences, and the best food the islands could offer. We also requested to dine aboard for a couple of quieter evenings & we are so happy we did. The meal preparation was delicious! If you are lucky, there could be mouthwatering cinnamon rolls, and a delectable lobster pasta in your future. Thank you Toni & Tea for a great week and many memories that we will treasure!

Exceptional Service
Loved our charter with Navigare! Avril was so welcoming and accommodating- she even gave us her personal French press to use for our trip (preferred over electric). Boat was in great shape but did need to call for a few things- there was someone always there to answer. Would 100% recommend for charter and will use again!!

Captain Sandro & Chef Lucia - BRILLIANT!!
This is the 3rd year in a row our Motley Crew of Aussie’s, Brit’s, Yanks, and a Kiwi have chartered a boat out of Nanny Cay. In the previous 2 trips we had no captain or chef. This year Captain Sandro and Chef Lucia made the experience OUR BEST TRIP EVER!!

Couldn’t have been better!
This is a “Couldn’t have been better experience!” From arriving at the Navigare base at Nanny Cay to departing everyone couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful from Navigare. Our charter boat was a 2023 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 that was amazing. For 3 couples with us it was their first time on a sail boat. They went home with their trip of a life time. We plan to return here again next year. And are exploring other Navigare bases for potential future Barefoot Charters.

Amazing Experience With Excellent Crew
Friends and I did a six-day charter throughout the BVI in late October and it's a trip we'll be talking about for a long time! Here are some highlights: The boat - our catamaran was beautiful! Plenty of space for the seven of us. Everything felt modern and well-designed. The cabins were comfortable with plenty of storage for luggage and the beds were comfortable. Of course, our favorite parts of the boat included the fore trampoline and loungers and the topside sundeck/seating area. The crew - Captain Shaka was fantastic! Personable, friendly, invested in making sure we were having a great time, and of course, keeping us safe. He was wonderful at helping scope an itinerary and sharing points of interests. And Abby was a wonderful cook who made an incredible variety of food and drinks. To be honest, the meals that we had onboard were often *much* better than what we would get at restaurants, which tended to be overpriced and touristy. The BVI - so much stunning beauty hopping from island to island! Highlights were the adventures of climbing around rocks at The Baths, the stunning white sand beaches of Jost Van Dyke, and diving the RMS Rhone. If you are looking to optimize your time, skip Anagada. It's the furthest island and while it's geographically interesting (limestone, unlike the the rest of the islands), it is quite sleepy. Overall, this was a true trip of a lifetime and I wish I could repeat it annually! Huge thanks to the team at Navigate for making my first charter experience so easy and relaxing.

An Unforgettable Week Sailing in the BVI with Shaka and Abby
This past October, my friends and I did a week-long catamaran trip in the BVI, and without a doubt, it has been one of my most incredible travel experiences to date. Even though I had already visited the BVI before, traveling around on a catamaran brings the experience to a whole new level since you can go to various islands as you please. From the booking process to the boarding prep, to the experience on board, everything was smooth and seamless. Since we didn't have navigating experience, we hired a skipper (Shaka) and a chef (Abby). Both Shaka and Abby were extraordinary the entire week. Shaka took all of your "must-visit" places and suggestions to help build the ideal itinerary and recommended a few more that were worth the addition! Throughout the week Shaka was an outstanding and entertaining skipper. He helped us fish and even taught us how to help with mooring and other basic tasks on board. We enjoyed that. Abby, on the other hand, made magic in that kitchen. All of her meals were delicious and to be honest, even better than the meals we had on shore. She helped us build a comprehensive half-board menu and took care of all the provisioning. Her help with this made our experience so much smoother. Lastly, our boat, Island Nomad, felt like a small apartment at sea. It was comfortable, clean, state-of-the-art tech, and a wonderful space where all seven of us felt comfortable spending a week together. It had enough space for us to chill, read, lounge, and hang out without bothering one another. This was my first experience with Navigare, but it won't be the last. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Amazing first experience in BVI with Shaka & Abby!
We had a fantastic experience! Our catamaran was bigger than expected and in excellent condition. Every bedroom was the perfect size. Each with its own toilet and shower, and extremely clean! Shaka was our captain and he was phenomenal. He ensured we saw each island and took advantage of the exploring the beautiful waters. Abby was our chef and let me just say, she did not disappoint! Every meal she prepared was delicious. Her cooking was more appetizing than some of the restaurants we visited. I looked forward to her texts letting us know breakfast, lunch, or dinner was prepared. Not only were they a great professional pairing for our first time in the BVI, they were also extremely down to earth and fun. Getting to know them for an entire week was a real pleasure. Thank you for a job well done and an amazing experience! We hope to come back soon.

A memorable sailing trip around the BVI's
Between November 19th and 16th, we had the opportunity to be on sail around the BVI. Was a trip with a twist of a bittersweet feelings because we should have made it during 2022 Luckly, we made it this year with family and friends who never been on sail, even more around the BVI’s. Despite we had to chase some to be part of the adventure to be on a different holiday experience, at the end, everyone wanted to be on sail again soon. For my son and I was the second time sailing in the BVI’s, and we decided to be made it with Dawe Yachts again due the great support to choose the best alternative that suit us better. We’d like to give our thanks to all. Ignacio from Dawe, due to the recommendations, and upgrade he made for us, Navigare Nanny Cay Resort & Marina for the support at any moment on land and the quality of the yacht, the personnel, the assistance at any moment, Boby’s for the provisioning, BVI’s Water Toys for the kayaks and a special thank for Kevin Moses, our Captain. The trip it couldn't have been, so spectacular, without Kevin. Kevin was always paying attention of our desire, with great suggestions to where we must go to visit or have fun snorkeling or doing kayak or having dinner. Always answering all the questions about everything. If we are going to be on sail on the BVI’s in the future, we are going to ask Kevin to join us for sure.

amazing sail with Tea and Toni!
Tea and Toni were amazing, my group is already planning our trip to Croatia this summer so we can sail with them again. They were both very professional and great at what they do! Tea is an incredible chef, I recommend you ask about her lobster pasta. She is also hilarious and will be a friend for life. Couldnt recommend these two enough! Thank you again T & T !!!

Best chef and captain!!
We just got back from sailing for a week in the BVI with 2 families and our teenage kids. We had the best time!! Our captain Sandro Boduljak was so amazing with making the best recommendations of things to do and the best places to see!! Our chef Lucia Smoljo was out of this world! We had the most amazing meals!! She was so great with picky kids and went above and beyond with making us a Thanksgiving feast!! Sandro and Lucia were a great team!! We loved spending time with them and getting to know them!!

The BVI: A Must See!
The planning and check-in process was easy. We were given all the necessary equipment and instructions before departing. Everything was on time and clean. We loved our boat layout on JOY, a 46-foot sailboat. We had a fantastic time island hopping. What made our trip extra special was our captain, Rae. He made food and sightseeing recommendations that took our trip to the next level. Rae politely answered our million questions, made us laugh, and became part of our group. His sailing expertise was top-notch notch. We learned that he was a fishing expert too. Our group caught 3 mahi mahi! He recommended Tipsy Shark on Jost Van Dyke to prepare our catch and we enjoyed a lovely dinner that evening! We highly recommend Navigare and our captain Rae for your next adventure.

11 Day, 8 person, Lagoon46 Charter
We chartered a Lagoon 46 in November 2023 from Nanny Key on Tortola. From the booking process onward the company were friendly and helpful. The boat was spotless and highly spec’s. Tortola staff were excellent. After 45 years of worldwide sailing BVI’s we’re NOT disappointing. Great anchorages, good evenings ashore, and fair weather despite being mid November when depressions could still be around. Navigare is our trusted charterer.

A trip to absolute paradise!
An absolutely life changing vacation with my group of friends. Our captain Shaka and chef Abbi truly went above and beyond to make our trip so much fun. I've never chartered a boat before, so I was kind of anxious leading up to the trip. However, now I wonder why I would vacation any other way. The weather and water around BVI were stunning, the boat was chic, the food was delicious, and it felt like a super luxurious vacation. A 10/10 experience that I cannot recommend enough.

Sailing with Jimmy Slater
I chartered a 42ft Lagoon with Jimmy Slater as a captain. Let me tell you, Jimmy was awesome! He practically single handedly made the trip a success. I have been learning how to sail, and Jimmy went out of his way to help me continue to learn more. He is an incredibly experienced sailer. He is patient and considerate. All my friends liked hanging out with him on the boat. If you're going to be chartering with Navigare, I would highly recommend hiring Jimmy Slater.

FP 47 and Capt Brad St Croix
We just finished chartering No Shoes (Fountaine Pajot 47 Tanna) for a week in the BVI. Our trip was amazing! We’re seasoned charterers, but we wanted to explore some new spots, so we got a captain this time. What a great decision! Captain Brad was the man! From cracking jokes, to playing cards, recommending great new spots, and being an absolute pro with the boat, Brad made our trip SO much better. The rest of the experience with Navigare was great too. The boat was in amazing shape and the office staff was super friendly! We can’t wait to come back next year to Navigare and we will definitely be requesting Bradley St. Croix.

Navigate Yachting & Capt Jimmy Slater
A 5 day excursion with friends around the BVI’s lead by Capt Jimmy Slater from Navigate Yatching was a trip I won’t soon forget. Jimmy was accommodating, attentive, welcoming and never stopped working to ensure our satisfaction.

BVI sailing trip
I writing this review to let Navigave yachting company and future Clients know of our AMAZING experience. Captain Jimmy sailed with us on November 3 through November 10 and was fantastic. We sailed on Jay’s N Sea’s a 50 foot catamaran lagoon.His knowledge of the waters and recommendations were right on point.He took us to some amazing locations and snorkel spots. He truly made it an amazing experience sailing and I would highly recommend booking him in all my future sailings trips with Navigare.He took care of us like no captain we’ve ever had. J. mags

7 days in Paradise
Just got back from 7 days of Paradise on the Kay’s and Seas 50 foot lagoon cat Out Captain Jimmy Slater was the best he never stopped being accommodating

True island hopping experience
Amazing trip! Beautiful boat, surreal location. Captain Ray Abraham is extremely skilled and has tons of local knowledge. He goes out of his way to make the experience unique and engaging. This trip is a once in a lifetime experience.

Great week
We just came back from a week of sailing, island hopping, snorkeling and fishing. We had Ray A. as our captain and he made this experience a trip of a lifetime. We hopped through the islands and he knew every spot to go. He was awesome and ship was new, clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering this kind of trip.

BVI 2023
Excellent trip with an excellent captain. Ray A. Was extremely knowledgeable and showed us the ropes and where to go the whole week in BVI. Can’t wait for our next trip!

Excellent experience in the BVIs
The trip was fantastic! We were on a Navigare boat called "No Shoes". Our captain, Rae Abraham, was outstanding. His knowledge of the boat, the area and his relationships with people throughout the islands made the trip easy for us. When I go back, I will specifically request to sail with him again. The islands were beautiful and relaxing. It was also special to sail with good friends.

Amazing Experience in the BVI's
This was our first time to visit the BVI's and our experience was absolutely amazing. We will be working on our plans for a return trip for sure. We were on a 47' (boat name No Shoes) and our Captain was Rae Abraham (Oct. 26-Nov. 3rd) and started our trip out of Nanny Cay where the Navigare Yachting team had our boat provisioned and ready to go. Boarding and check-in was easy, and we were on our way. Captain Rae was everything you would want when it came to managing the boat, knowledge of the BVI’s, and local relationships at each of the destinations we visited. What I likely underestimated was the relevance of having a Captain that provided a high level of service both on and off the boat. His relationships, guidance, and experience of the islands not only made us feel safe while on land but also enhanced the overall experience of the entire trip. Captain Rae offers that additional value that is often overlooked when preparing for a trip like this. I highly recommend Captain Rae if you are deciding on booking through Navigare. Our favorite spots visited were The Baths (must hit the Top of the Baths bar and restaurant), Soggy Dollar Bar, Norman Island (Willy T’s is a must), and Anegada. On Anegada we rented a jeep and drove around the island visiting all the local spots. What a great experience visiting Big Bamboo Bar, and Anegada Beach Club. Dinner at the Wonky Dog was fantastic.

Navigare Yachting and Captain Bradley
Boat name Good Vibrations (10-26-23 to 11-3-23). The on shore team at Navigare Yachting was great, fast check-in and everything was in order. Dock staff helped with any questions we had and addressed any concerns before departure. Our Captain, Bradley was awesome!! Offered great options for our itinerary and made sure everyone was happy. He is very knowledgeable about the BVIs and must-see spots. Request him!! Nanny Cay dock where Navigare Yachting is located is wonderful. Several restaurants and Rite Way grocery for last minute needs. Also, there is some shops to wonder through.

BVI 2023 Catamaran trip and Captain Review
BVI vacations are the most relaxing vacations we get the entire year. To have this experience and cap it you definitely need a good captain. Captain Rae is awesome, we have travelled with him before and surely will do it again hopefully in the near future. This year we had some difficulties with some of the boat equipment but Rae was an excellent host and took care of it. BVI is a great place to visit, Captain Rae is always available and sure takes cares of us and also the other boats around us. We really feel comfortable and safe around him, I definitely recommend him.

Best way to cruise the BVI’s with Navigare Yachting and Click&Boat
We had a wonderful experience cruising the BVI aboard a very comfortable Lagoon 42 for a group of six adults and two kids. But what made the trip most memorable was our Captain Solomon!Solomon made a big difference with his friendly attitude and became a good friend to all the crew, especially the boys ages 11 and 7. Highly recommend Navigare and Click and Boat!

Best service, great boats, friendly staff
Navigare was VERY nice and accommodating. The boat was in great shape, very clean, everything looked brand new, The Navigare staff was friendly and eager to help with taxis, toys, groceries, We have used the Moorings and other companies on past trips, but will be using Navigare from now on. I would DEFINITELY recommend.

Book it! You won’t regret it!
This was hands down the most amazing vacation I have taken in many years. The skipper Dominik was exceptional! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable taking us through an adventure around the islands. The catamaran was more spacious than anticipated and I loved the many pillows provided in the sleeping quarters 💗 I can’t wait to book my next adventure in the Caribbean!

Thank you Navigare and Captain Shaka!
When you go to the British Virgin Islands, you do your research. I spent months planning seven islands in seven nights with stops along the way. In the end, you must get a few things right… 1. Charter company: Navigare was easy to work with from the time I started interacting with them. Lea Winter was a fabulous rep and brokered the right deal for our 47’ Fountaine Pajot called “Knotty Cat”. She was also involved in answering my questions along the way. The company worked well with the local provisioners (thanks Riteway) and equipment rental outfits (thanks Island Surf and Sail) to get us launched on time for our 7 day journey that launched from Nanny Cay at 4 PM - right on time. Our only issue during the entire trip was a coffee maker with a severed power cord - when our captain made Navigare aware, they found our boat and handed over a brand new coffee maker within hours. 2. Captain: Unless you are a skipper yourself, read on. I was pretty nervous about the variable of “assigned captain” but Navigare assured me that all of their captains are vetted and well liked. We found out that captain Shaka St. Croix was assigned to our charter just a few days before the voyage. Captain Shaka turned out to be incredible. We were in touch days before we left for the BVI’s - discussing itinerary and giving advice. He is seaworthy, smart, entertaining, and knowledgeable and must rank among the top of all captains in the area. He was safe and reliable, but also flexible and able to have fun with the adults and the kids. He knew everybody locally which was of benefit when we were lookin for the right moorage or the right reservation at a restaurant. I will seek out captain Shaka for all future journeys in the area. Please note that when you do have a captain assigned to your boat, whose responsibility spans much more than getting you from point to point, you should provide good food and a comfortable stateroom for that captain to sleep. 3. Boat: Thank you Navigare (and whomever the private owner is), for your beautiful Knotty Cat. She powered, sailed, maneuvered, made fresh water, and conditioned the air beautifully.

Lagoon 42 with Rae
We just got back from a spectacular 7 day charter with Rae from Navigare, aboard a Lagoon 42 (Lili) which was in great condition. Rae was excellent at knowing all of the hotspots around the BVIs, and when we should go see them (to avoid the crowds from cruise ships, etc…) to help us build the perfect itinerary. All on all the week was excellent and it was our family’s favorite vacation yet.

Excellent Vacation with Navigare
Navigare was VERY nice and accommodating. The boat was in great shape. The Navigare staff was friendly and eager to help with taxis, toys, groceries, etc. We have used the Moorings on past trips, but will be using Navigare from now on. I would DEFINITELY recommend.

Family adventure
Experience of a lifetime!!! Our captains Rae and Jimmy understood what we were looking for and guided us on a fabulous adventure. 2 boats and 15 people and everyone wants a return trip!

Awesome sailing trip
We sailed for a week in the BVI’s. We stayed the night we arrived at Nanny Cay Resort. The first great experience was our warm welcome from the front staff- Avril, Patrice and Theresa. They helped us figure out grocery’s and the lay out . We met our captain the next morning. Brad was amazing, he listened to what we wanted from our trip and created the most magical experience for all of us . We were on a 46 ft Catamaran with 8 women. Brad was thoughtful, courteous, respectful and fun all at the same time. We all would sail with him again and use this perfect company!

Amazing vacation in the British Virgin Islands!!
We just got back from the trip of a lifetime sailing on the Beau Budd Lagoon 46 around the British Virgin Islands!!! Shaka, our Captain, was wonderful and made the trip extra special!! Since we’d never been there, he suggested different spots to eat and things to do and we were not disappointed with a single suggestion he made!!! He made sure that all of us were taken care of and safe at all times. We could definitely tell he’s a skilled captain, because he could navigate the boat unlike seen! If you ever book this trip, make sure you ask for Shaka!! You will NOT be disappointed! It’s definitely a trip we will never forget and highly recommend to all!! Thanks for everything, Shaka! Until we meet again, Stay Cool Shaka!!! Salud!!
