By Jhaka Wooding

charter yacht society bvi

The BVI Yacht Charter Society hosted its 40 th  annual Fall Charter Yacht Show this past week at the Nanny Cay Resort and Marina on Tortola.

284News was on the ground, and in on the action at the docks – mingling among boaters, agents and onlookers alike.

There our team met with Janet Oliver, the organizer of the event, who shared some background on the history and purpose of the activity.

Oliver explained that the event provides a unique opportunity for Charter companies in the BVI, many of which operate individually, to build a relationship with the Charter Yacht Brokers who attend.

In turn, the Brokers use the information gained at the event to share with potential customers – in hopes of finding the best charter option for their needs.

Brokers Schelly and Randy Tucker explained their process to our team.

BVI’s Charter Yacht Society Boat Show 2021

The autumn edition of this important event linked to the world of yacht charters has just taken place. The wonderful setting of the Caribbean , in particular the British Virgin Islands , hosted the umpteenth edition of this magnificent nautical event which saw a large fleet of charter yachts gather at the Nanny Cay Resort and Marina in Tortola for 3 days, from 3 to 6 November last.

For this short period of time, the BVI has become the center of international interest of the nautical sector, as well as a heavenly place made of fantastic seabeds perfect for diving, rich in biodiversity, and perfect to sail from one island to another driven by sweets and gentle trade winds.

The BVI’s Charter Yacht Society boat show 2021 took place last week

What is the cys boat show.

The Fall BVI Charter Yacht Show is a showcase not only of the best-crewed catamarans for charter in the British Virgin Islands as well as sailing and motor yachts. This fantastic show kicks off the Caribbean tourist season when it comes to yacht charter and sees the participation of more than 100 charter brokers and many representatives of other industries from all over the world.

Competitive events are also organized such as themed cooking competitions where chefs create meals to impress the judges. The event also includes day visions, information seminars, competitions for the present fleets, and many social events. There is no shortage of fun in the absolutely magnificent setting of the Nanny Cay Marina port.

The boats present are rather small in size, however, they stand out for their elegant lines and good looks.

When and where did it take place?

As has become customary, the Nanny Cay Resort and Marina hosted the CYS Charter Yacht Show for the autumn 2021 edition, from Wednesday 3 to Saturday 6 November.

On the island of Tortola , in the British Virgin Islands, there is in fact the place where the Charter Yacht Society is based and where these types of events are organized annually.

2021-cys-show-fall

Which audience is it aimed at?

If you are an international yacht charter broker or tour operator operating in the Caribbean, you will certainly know and perhaps have had the opportunity to participate in this event. The Tortola Charter Boat Show is in fact a large exhibition of rental boats and is therefore mainly aimed at operators in the nautical sector, with dozens, or perhaps hundreds, of international brokers as well as industry suppliers, captains, chefs, and crews on board. In addition, the event gives local companies the opportunity to offer their quality products such as fine wines, gourmet foods, or personalized services, all to offer charter boat customers the utmost respect possible.

2021-fall-shoe-bvi-yacht-charter-society

Who organizes the event annually?

The organization of the event is fully managed by the Charter Yacht Society (CYS), a registered non-profit organization founded in 1982 by independent owners of crewed charter boats based in the British Virgin Islands. It is the only body recognized by the local government for the crewed yacht charter sector.

CYS also represents the organized voice of individual BVI-based yacht operators and those who charter boats in these islands.

If you are interested in participating in the next edition of the event or, more simply, you want to rent a sailboat or yacht in these parts, do not hesitate to contact Your Boat Holiday!

Our review of the BVI Charter Show Winners 2022. Ms. Janet Oliver of the BVI Charter Yacht Society organized this event. Check out the winners in the different Categories.

Hurricanes, pandemics, or recessions have not deterred the Charter Yacht Society of the BVI from hosting its annual November BVI Charter Yacht Show for the past 40 years. 

The 3–4-day event enables each yacht to be showcased in their operation to an international sales force of charter brokers.  The show unites all critical players in the industry – the sales force, the product, and the landside services, which are vital to the smooth running of the yacht charter industry. 

Charter companies attend boat shows worldwide to promote their brand and then their most recent vessel.  On the other hand, independent crewed charter yachts are not identified by a company brand but by their individual and unique qualities. Even “like” yachts vary vastly depending on décor, yacht, crew, and amenities aboard.

As the yachts have evolved in size and shape, the show venue has changed, but that which has remained the same is the idyllic destination and the quality vacation product, whether speaking of the luxurious vessels or the professional yet amiable crews. 

Despite the advent of the World Wide Web, with so much information accessible, no amount of online research can equal the experience of visiting the destination, meeting crews in person, and seeing a yacht with one’s own eyes.  Charter yacht shows will live on even as technology progresses.

By Ms. Janet Oliver of the Charter Yacht Society of the BVI.

About Us: Your Charter Yacht Brokers: Capt. Randy & Shelly Tucker!

charter yacht society bvi

If you want to experience a luxury yacht charter vacation first hand and up close, there is no better way than on your own privately crewed yacht with a full-time professional Captain and Chef/First Mate. We've been sailing and chartering for well over twenty-five years.

The U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands were our "backyard" which we came to love and cherish. So much so, that we sold everything in 1997 and moved to Charlotte Amalie, USVI as owners & operators aboard the 72' sailing yacht Three Moons. We do know the ins and outs of this special place & the people who live there. That's what makes us an official "Yacht Charters Guru”! Never been on a chartered yacht vacation? We will help you personally design your charter yacht vacation. Imagine being able to sail into small bays with beautiful white sands & fantastic snorkeling. A yacht vacation is a great way to spend time with your friends or family.

Why use a CYBA Certified Yacht Charter Broker?

Key Takeaways:

As a member of CYBA, the Charter Yacht Broker’s Association, we adhere to strict yacht charter booking protocols. We have access to the CYBA industry escrow account to protect your money.

Charter yacht crews, yacht owners and travel agents do not have access to this account.

If it is a busy yacht with lots of charters, the crew are taking care of guests onboard and they honestly do not have time to answer a lot of travel questions.

This is what differentiates professionally licensed yacht brokers from anyone else trying to book charters.

Very Important! It is not safe to send your hard-earned money directly to a business or yacht that is not accredited by a professional charter industry association to handle yacht charter client funds. Always ask!

We have access to the The CYBA E-Contract Charter Agreement. It is made available by CYBA for electronic use only by established, industry recognized and reputable Yacht Brokers.

Choose from an extensive list of yachts, including our spacious and stable catamaran charters , power catamarans , traditional monohull sailboat vacations , or high-end luxury motor yacht charters in the U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Belize, Croatia. Greece, and the Mediterranean.

We do not sell yachts like many other agencies so there is no conflict or distraction in our focus for your yacht charter. Our service is free to you. We travel extensively to boat shows and yacht charter shows year-round to personally view and inspect as many of the yachts as possible.

6 Reasons Why We are Qualified:

1. As Members of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association, The Virgin Islands Professional Charter Yacht League, and the BVI Charter Yacht Society, we maintain contact with the yachts to keep abreast of the very latest information on crew/yacht conditions and new yachts entering the arena.

2. We stay on top of local and Federal Governments to keep informed about changes in our industry, as well as involve ourselves with the changes in the environment in which we offer charters.

3. We engage in open dialogue with local publications to help keep the government and the public aware of this important industry in our islands.

4. We attend multiple charter yacht industry shows in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, go aboard each of the yachts, meet the crews, attend association meetings and seminars. We'll happily share our notes about changes to the boats and crews and confirm any newly added features and upgrades as well as re-fits to the boat’s decor like new carpets, interior and exterior soft goods & fun new water toys.

5. As a seasoned charter yacht Owner & Crew, we have access to the "inner circle" and know all the insider facts. 6. We've developed a longtime friendship with vendors of services such as local taxi drivers, ferry companies, good places to stay on land, great restaurants, and much more.

Welcome to the Fleet of CYS member yachts; the crème de la crème of crewed yacht chartering in the BVI. Our member yachts range in size, type, accommodation and price. In other words, we have something for everyone.

Select below the category that best reflects your group, no more than six guests or more than six guests .The charter rates reflected are based on the Fall 2022 Winter 2023 season for one week at maximum occupancy. Prices are not necessarily 100% accurate rather they are to give potential charterers an idea of the affordability of the vacation. Following the Brochure tab will enable you to view the yacht in more detail.

All Inclusive

Our member yachts offer an all inclusive holiday. Any extra expenses will always be clearly laid out. What is not included in the charter fee is crew gratuity. In the Caribbean crew gratuities customarily run 15-20% of the charter fee. When planning a charter vacation guests should remember to budget for the tip.

Some yachts have a Dive Master or Instructor on board and permit diving off the yacht.  We have numerous dive companies in the BVI, all of which will rendezvous with any charter yacht to take guests diving.  

Captain Only

Some charterers prefer to take a more active role in their vacation, opting to cook for themselves, experience a variety of shoreside restaurants, and maybe even assist with sailing (under supervision). Captain only prices tend to be lower than full crew charters, however the charter party is also responsible for: Provisions, fuel, water, ice, local permits etc.

Want a combination of eating aboard the yacht and eating ashore?  Many of our members offer a moderately reduced rate so guests can intersperse eating on board with dining ashore.
