Take a Captain
Vacations are meant for relaxing and being afloat is no exception. Taking a charter skipper for a captained sailing vacation will allow you to fully enjoy your time on board without having to worry about your itinerary, safe anchorages or any systems on board.
We pride ourselves in only offering skippers that give you the full package. Our skippers are sailors, engineers, riggers, tour guides, entertainers, cocktail makers, deck washers, and DJs and will very likely be friends by the end of the trip.
Your skipper can be involved in your vacation as much or as little as you would like. It’s no problem to spend an evening ashore with family and friends, your skipper will make sure your vessel is safe and your cabins cool and air-conditioned for your return. If you are fascinated by the underwater world, then let your skipper guide you to the best snorkelling spots to point out lobsters hiding under rocks and lesser spotted marine life. Enjoy all those painkillers with the knowledge that you’re not driving the dinghy at the end of the night. If you’d rather be in a bay with no one else around then your skipper can take you to spots that charter guests cannot reach so you have that unlit view of the milky way. If you’re looking for added adventure your skipper can show you hiking trails for exclusive island views, organize kiting lessons or take competent kiters to safe spots to launch from.
“My friends and I had an amazing experience. The boat had everything we needed, and our Captain was the best!!! I highly recommend Horizon and Captain Royce. Will definitely be a repeat customer.” – Cynthia Raphael
“We had a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. BVI didn’t disappoint and Noah was an amazing Captain!” – Willis Family
“Royce, our skipper, was an absolute GEM! He was just perfect for our group and was very kind and considerate to one of our older crew members. He was professional, knowledgeable and a gentleman. We loved having him on board and would highly recommend his services. He made our charter extra special. Thank you, Royce!” – Sylvia Driver
Take a Check-out Skipper
You’ve been up all day travelling and you’ve made it to paradise but now you’re boarding a boat you’ve never been on, on unfamiliar islands and suddenly you’re faced with hundreds of anchorages to choose from, water makers and in-mast furling systems.
Rather than spending your first day on the dock working out how everything runs, or worrying about skills you haven’t practiced in a while like docking or picking up a mooring ball, why not take a check-out skipper who can talk you through it all as you need?
You’ll take your check-out skipper with you to your first anchorage or for the first 24 hours of your trip and then sail on by yourselves the rest of the way. It’s the best way to start your vacation smoothly and settle into island time.
Upgrade your charter with a Chef
If your idea of a vacation means staying out the galley, then why not hire your own private chef for the week? They’ll tailor breakfast, lunch, and dinner to your personal taste and your chef and skipper can work together to match the food to your itinerary whether that be local grilled fish Al Fresco under the stars or Jerk chicken wraps underway.
