Charter the Bavaria 34 “Maverick” in the BVI
Discover the perfect balance of comfort, performance, and ease of handling aboard Maverick, our 2017 Bavaria 34 sailing yacht, available for bareboat charter in the stunning British Virgin Islands. Designed by Farr Yacht Design and built in Germany to exacting standards, Maverick is the ideal family cruiser for your Caribbean sailing vacation, offering all the features needed for effortless island-hopping in paradise.
Exterior: Built for Easy Sailing & Outdoor Living
Maverick is designed for smooth handling and comfort on deck. Her roller furling main and genoa, along with control lines led aft to the cockpit, make her easy to sail short-handed. The genoa winches have been thoughtfully placed aft for convenient trimming from the helm or by your crew.
Thanks to her wide beam carried aft, Maverick features twin wheels, improving helm visibility and giving you direct, unobstructed access to the large drop-down transom swim platform — perfect for taking a dip in those turquoise BVI waters.
A full Garmin electronics suite, including a cockpit chart plotter, ensures you’ll navigate with confidence and ease.
Interior: Stylish, Spacious & Family-Friendly
Step below deck and enjoy Maverick’s elegant and airy interior. Finished in rich Sipo Mahogany, with a light oak-toned sole and real leather cream upholstery, she blends modern comfort with classic styling.
Her well-equipped galley includes a stove, hob, fridge, kettle, French press, toaster, and ample storage — perfect for preparing meals onboard. Dine alfresco or fire up the coal BBQ under the stars.
With three roomy double cabins, Maverick comfortably accommodates families or small groups. She’s ideal for exploring the BVI at your own pace, with plenty of storage and living space for a week or more at sea.

Ariel Thrasher, 29-31 May '2510/10 would recommend!
Horia Popa, 24-29 April '24The booking and related service before, and the manager on duty’s responses during the charter were great!
David Andrews (President and CEO American Hockey League), 12-19 March 2017Just a quick note to thank all of you for making our recent sailing vacation such a great one. Every aspect of our trip was terrific. Maverick was in impeccable condition and perfect for the two of us, the office staff and Lucy and Jon were terrific with respect to the boat briefing and the return process.
Couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. We will be back!
Peter E. Montgomery, 6 February 2017We had an amazing trip. Maverick was perfect, as were the people at Horizon. Loved going in and out of Nanny Cay. Did Norman’s (Sun), Jost Van Dyke Great Harbor (Mon), Foxy’s Taboo/Little Harbor (Tues.), Leverick Bay in Gorda Sound (W/Th.); Cooper Island Beach Club (Fri.), and back to Nanny Cay (Sat.).
Will have to repeat next year.
Jon Trauger, December 2021First time my wife and I sailed on our own, and big thank you to Jalon and Cara all your help and instruction. Nice clean and well maintained boat, and sailing around the BVI was amazing. All horizon staff great, and we will no doubt be back chartering with Horizon!
Andy, 2-7 October 2022We’re tied up at The Bight on another spectacular Caribbean sunset. Many thanks to the entire Horizon crew, but both of you (Sandra and Cara) in particular for the characteristically friendly and outstanding professional services. We’re having a magnificent time.
C Shradar, 5-13 October 2023Appreciate all the effort made by Horizon to keep us on track. Thank you for a great trip!
Jason Hill, 5-13 October 2023Ahoy!
My wife and I loved our recent trip on Maverick, and are already planning our return to the BVIs!
Neil Weller, 28 Nov - 6 Dec 2023Hi Sandra and Courtney,
Thanks! We enjoyed our week for sure. We’ll be back in December 2024 to sail on Paradise Found.

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers
Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.
*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.
Current Rates
Weekly rates (full 7 days / 6 nights) are listed above as daily rates. Charters start and finish at noon. Our minimum charter duration requirement is 5 nights.
BVI Charter Rates are subject to change without notice.
