Charter ‘Casbah IV’ The Ultimate Luxury Monohull Charter in the BVI!
Horizon Yacht Charters is proud to present the all-new 2025 Jeanneau 55, the largest monohull available for bareboat charter in the Caribbean. The latest flagship from Jeanneau redefines what’s possible in monohull design—delivering spaciousness, innovation, and sophistication in equal measure.
Handpicked by returning owners for its luxurious feel and cutting-edge design, this yacht is ideal for sailors who appreciate refined living, superb sailing performance, and innovative layout solutions.
Exterior: Sleek, Modern and Superyacht-inspired
The Jeanneau 55 isn’t just a floating villa—it’s also a high-performance sailing machine, designed to impress seasoned sailors. She features an in-mast furling mainsail, an electric furling genoa, a self-tacking staysail for versatile sail plans, Pro Radial sails (a performance upgrade over traditional Dacron) and bow and thrusters for pinpoint docking and maneuvering
Whether sailing short-handed or with a full crew, this yacht offers the ideal blend of power, control, and ease of use.
Her unique walk-around deck allows seamless movement from bow to stern—no need to climb over seating or around rigging and her twin helms are positioned forward, maximizing the aft deck for an expansive lounging space rarely found on monohulls.
She has convertible cockpit seating which easily transforms from a dining area into full-length sun loungers and her swing-out plancha grill on the aft deck makes for exceptional alfresco dining, with easy access from the oversized swim platform.
A cockpit arch keeps lines tidy while supporting a stylish hard bimini with retractable center canvas, giving you shade or sun at the push of a button.
Built-in dinghy davits, underwater lights, and LED spreader lighting complete the high-end outdoor setup.
Interior: Luxury and Comfort
Step below deck and discover a bright, panoramic interior designed to feel more like a luxury loft than a traditional sailboat.
A light-filled saloon with expansive hull windows creates a sense of openness and calm and her saloon table converts into a king-size bed, offering a flexible fourth sleeping option for larger groups.
The owner’s suite is accessed from the main companionway, while each of the two guest cabins has private cockpit access—offering rare privacy and quietude. Each guest cabin includes its own ensuite head and shower, and there’s a forward crew/skipper cabin with separate head and shower.
The fully equipped galley features: four refrigerators, a dishwasher, ample countertop space and modern appliances for full onboard convenience.
Climate and power management are first-class, thanks to air-conditioning throughout, an upgraded lithium battery bank and solar panels for sustainable cruising.

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.
