Tortola Yacht Charters

Welcome to Tortola, the sailing charter capital of the Carribean. This lush, mountainous island is the largest and most popular of the British Virgin Islands. The rocky coastlines are picturesque; the sailing conditions are ideal for beginners; the food and fun never stops. At 12 Knots, we love booking sailing charters in Tortola because our skippers come back happy every time. As seasoned sailors of the British Virgin Islands ourselves, we transform the experience to accommodate your every need. Whether you’d like a yacht charter or bareboat charter in Tortola, 12 Knots can help you plan the vacation of a lifetime.

Sailing Conditions in Tortola

The British Virgin Islands are one of the most coveted places to sail in the world. Not only is the island home to many tourist-friendly communities, but the winds and waters offer ideal sailing conditions year-round. The tradewinds consistently blow between 10 to 20 knots throughout the year. In the summer months they typically range between 10-15; during the wintertime higher wind speeds reaching between 25-30 are possible. The winds in the British Virgin Islands consistently blow from the East. This makes planning your sailing schedule much easier.

The calm waters also play a part in favorable sailing conditions in Tortola. Seas are generally in the 3-4 foot range, meaning you can expect a relaxed and enjoyable trip from island to island. While you can generally expect favorable climate in Tortola, we recommend using a weather and wind forecast app to keep track of sailing conditions day-to-day. Monitoring wind and weather conditions at mooring allows for an easier experience while underway.

Weather watch is a critical element in our 12 Knots sailing school. We teach students how to adjust to different wind speeds and sea conditions so they can be prepared for whatever the BVI has in store. Click here to learn more about the 12 Knots sailing school.

Best Times to Vacation in Tortola

When planning a sailing vacation in the British Virgin Islands, weather conditions are the most important factor to consider. While sailing events on the island and coinciding tourist fluctuations may influence your decision, the heat and hurricane season will make the greatest impact on your Tortola boat charter experience.

Most BVI sailing trips are scheduled between late October (after the worst of the hurricane season) until the New Year, and between mid-April to the end of May. During these seasons, you are less likely to experience extreme heat, storms, or overcrowding on the islands due to tourism. The summer can offer beautiful weather, but it also brings the highest probability for hurricanes as well as overcrowding due to tourism.

The annual BVI Spring Regatta And Sailing Festival are held in late March to early April, which may be of interest to experienced sailors. There are several other regattas and sailing events held in the British Virgin Islands, so check your calendar to see which you may want to take part. Less experienced sailors can also enjoy the BVI’s Fireball Full Moon Parties, which are held every month in Tortola. These parties welcome all Tortola tourists to enjoy local food, music, and the island nightlife in a truly unique atmosphere.

Sailing Difficulty Level

The British Virgin Islands are a wonderful sailing destination for beginners and experienced sailors alike. The islands are incredibly sailor-friendly, offering a variety of mooring options and marinas that are well-maintained. However, during the sailing season these fill up quickly, so be sure to book your site hours in advance to ensure you have a place to stop and stay.

Due to the strong, stable winds, sailing in Tortola is beginner-friendly. Those with experience on the water can handle sailing between islands fairly easily throughout the year. However, if you have no seafaring experience, you don’t have to miss out on the experience of sailing the Carribean. Our crewed yacht charter offers you the peace of mind to sail with an experienced skipper by your side.

Not sure if you’re ready to tackle the open water? Enroll in the 12 Knots sailing school for a refresher course on everything you’ll need to know before your trip. We offer three different sailing school packages for those of all experience levels. Visit our sailing school page for more information.

On a Tortola catamaran charter with Borrow a Boat you can explore much of the Virgin Island chain within an easy sail. Whatever you want from a BVI yacht charter, from its beautiful beaches and excellent food to its fun resorts, a catamaran charter Tortola is going to be an unforgettable experience.

The biggest British Virgin Island, Tortola is an ideal location for a Leeward Island sailing holiday. Whether on a crewed charter or bareboat charter there is plenty to see and do while enjoying one of the best locations for a catamaran charter in the world.

You can access Tortola either via flying into Beef Island Airport with connections to Miami or via Cyril E King International Airport on St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands and taking a ferry on to Road Town. Fom here you can join your charter yacht at the various marinas on the island.

After enjoying the hospitality of Tortola on your Tortola yacht charter, where can you go?

Little Sisters

Sailing out of one of the marinas such as Hodges Creek Marina near Road Town, a shorter BVI yacht charter can take you across the straits from the south coast of Tortola to the Little Sisters. Including Norman Island, Salt island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island, these smaller islands afford great sailing and snorkelling over the reefs. The beaches are excellent too!

Benures Bay on Norman Island lacks a beach of any consequence and is home to an inquisitive barracuda but with these issues (barracudas like people's jewellery so don't wear anything shiny!) Benures Bay is a renowned snorkelling destination thanks to its gin clear waters and sheer beauty.

Beef Island and Nearby Islands

Beef Island is home to the airport on Tortola. Connected by road to the main island of Tortola, it is also home to the most child friendly Full Moon party in the BVIs - Trellis Bay is very popular among family groups for the events, which are a lot more structured and less hedonistic than many such parties around the islands!

To the north of Beef Island lies one of the many protected natural reserves of BVI, Guana Island - an ideal place to chill out after a wild night at Trellis Bay perhaps!

Close to Guana Island is the small private island of Scrub island Resort. As with Peter Island in the Little Sisters this is a wholly owned private resort but catering to honeymooners and providing top level luxury is a great location to spend a few days relaxing on your charter holiday.

Other British Virgin Islands

To the north of Tortola is Jost Van Dyke, a great sailing destination in its own right. You should drop anchor at White Bay (an alternative location for Full Moon parties if you don't have kids around) and perhaps moor in Great Harbour which is renowned for its snorkeling and beaches.

Virgin Gorda is a smaller island to the east of Tortola. A great charter destination in its own right, you will find a wealth of excellent resorts, good restaurants and shopping.

US Virgin Islands

Whether on a longer crewed charter or bareboat charter out of Tortola, you can explore the US Virgin Island group of islands or even get as far as Puerto Rico. The two nearest islands to Tortola, St John and St Thomas, are a good mix of quiet nature reserves and in the case of Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas, an excellent duty free shopping destination with top quality restaurants and bars.

Whatever you want from a British Virgin Island catamaran charter, from the brilliant sailing to quiet sandy beaches and fun ashore, you will likely be able to tailor your sailing vacation to maximise your time here. Book your BVI yacht charter with Borrow a Boat today!

Crewed Catamaran Charters from Tortola

You don't need to worry about being an experienced sailor or even sailing the boat out of Tortola with Borrow a Boat! A Tortola crewed charter (private yacht charter) on a motor boat or sailing catamaran private yacht can mean you do as much or as little physically sailing the yacht as you like on your yacht charter holiday.

A skippered yacht charter or will mean that the catamaran company's skipper will be aboard with their own cabin to attend to all your needs. A crewed yacht charter will involve one or two crew on the boat trip who will cook, sail and make suggestions as to your best destinations on your sailing itinerary. With their local knowledge, even if you're an experienced sailor you can enjoy a perfect yacht charter holiday.

One of the advantages of a crewed yacht charter sailing vacation on crewed yachts is that you can go longer distances from the yacht charter base. A longer run to Puerto Rico or other Leeward island is possible on a Tortola crewed catamaran charter.

As to you? You can just enjoy the breezes and views on your luxury yacht charter , or if you fancy learning a bit about sailing, help the skipper or crew to get the boat from A-B.

A BVI crewed yacht charter will cost a little more (typically €150 a day for a skipper and €100 per crew member) and it's the done thing to thank them with a tip at the end of the week.

Bareboat Catamaran Charter From Tortola

A bareboat catamaran charter holiday will mean that you can take the charter yacht out on your own. Generally for vessels up to 20 metres LOA on a sailing license such as an RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104 Bareboat certificate, you will have total responsibility for the yacht.

You will need to think about your sailing itinerary, victualling, possible secondary ports should a marina be full, as well as issues like weather and mooring fees.

On a bareboat charter you will be asked to pay for insurance in the form of a security deposit to the charter companies on departure or through buying charter insurance before you leave the yacht charter base on your sailing trip.

Types of Catamarans Available For Rent Or Charter In Tortola:

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below charter yacht types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the catamaran was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Types of Catamarans Available:

Sailing Charter Catamaran: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious type of sailboat charter, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, these sailing yachts have lots of room for water toys such as a paddleboard or even jet ski, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter luxury yacht is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull sailing yacht. Typically far more luxurious than a monohull sailboat boat charter, the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the cabin as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Motor Catamaran: These power catamarans motor yacht are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam of these motor yacht also mean more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced skipper.

Tortola Catamaran Sailing Itineraries

On your Tortola crewed catamaran charter or bareboat charter you can explore the neqrby Little Sisters and nearby islands. Here we suggest a 7 day sailing trip and a 14 day yacht charter holiday on your charter yacht:

7 Days - Smaller British Virgin Islands: Sailing out of your Tortola marina, head south for the Little Sisters. Landing at Norman Island, Peter Island, Salt Island and Cooper Island over the first few days you can enjoy the sailing and beaches. North now and around to Guana Island for the nature, before sailing around the north coast to drop anchor at Cane Garden Bay for another evening ashore. Round the western tip of Tortola on your catamaran and back to the charter base.

14 Days - Jost Van Dyke and US Virgin Islands: Perhaps on a crewed catamaran charter you can take time to explore the other British Virgin Islands and US Virgin Island group nearby. After a couple of nights on the Little Sisters, round the east coast of Beef Island and head for Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke. Another night could be spent at White Bay(especially at Full Moon!) before heading east firstly to St John and then St Thomas. Enjoy time ashore at the national park on St John and for contrast, the cosmopolitan vibe of Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas. South now to St Croix where you can enjoy the eco-tourism on offer here and spend another night on Buck Island with its legendary snorkeling. Back to BVI now and a couple of nights on Virgin Gorda before returning your charter yacht to base on Tortola.

Do You Need A Sailing License To Charter A Catamaran In Tortola?

If you are on a skippered catamaran charter you do not need a license to sail out of Tortola, you can just turn up at the marina and go.

You do need a sailing license if you are on a bareboat catamaran charter and in some countries such as Greece a day skipper or ICC may not be enough for boats over 45 feet in length, you will need to check with the charter agent but here are some examples of typical sailing qualifications that will allow you to charter in most countries:

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will typically be able to take a bareboat charter out of Nassau (but it is worth checking as per above), these include Day Skipper (sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster.

American Sailing Association (ASA): The ASA 104 Bareboat certificate is commonly accepted but also check as per above

US Sailing: The International Proficiency Certificate is widely accepted and The Bareboat Cruising Certificate is also accepted in many cases.

Frequently asked questions

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

You will typically pay 50% up front on booking the catamaran hire and the balance on arrival. You will either pay a security deposit with your credit card on departure or can get insurance covering damage in advance. In some cases (such as the recent Covid situation) charter companies may be more flexible but this depends on the individual charter companies themselves.

If you are at sea and in danger, call MAYDAY on VHF Ch16 or ring the coast guard on your phone if you have reception. If you have a mechanical fault and can make it to or are on a mooring you will be able to phone a help line number given by the boat charter company and they can typically send someone from the charter base

You should consider do you have the experience to handle the catamaran before you book and where do you want to go along with what the weather will be like. Bring warm weather and cool weather clothing if it looks like the weather can be cool as well as warm and remember at sea it can be cool in the evenings.

If you want to sail without a skipper then you will need relevant qualifications like RYA Day Skipper/International Certificate of Competence (ICC)/ASA 104 Bareboat certificate or the US Sailing Certificate. If you choose to have a skipper on board your catamaran you won't require licences.

Shared Charter: Tortola Dream Premium

A shared, aka “Cabin Charter”, is an excellent way to enjoy a sailing vacation in Tortola and the British Virgin Islands on a fully crewed yacht charter without the cost of renting the entire yacht.

A one week itinerary brings you to the infamous islands and anchorages that the BVI is known for, and also gives the crew the opportunity to show you some of the gorgeous off-the-beaten-path spots. You’ll enjoy sailing, snorkeling and swimming, beach combing, and if you’d like more activity there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploring ashore and rendezvous scuba diving or fishing charter. If a quiet vacation with a book is your ideal vacation, on board a catamaran you’ll find plenty of outdoor lounging areas that are perfect for relaxing. With a professional crew to take care of your needs, and a few like-minded new friends on board, you are sure to enjoy the value and experience of a shared crewed yacht charter in the BVI.

The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

• Your Responsibility . By booking a Charter with Broker, you agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your breach of these Terms or the documents referenced herein; (ii) your violation of any law or rights of a third party; or (iii) your use of the Broker website.

You will review your Charter Agreement and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt. You understand that it is your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in the Charter Reservation provided to you, and that you may contact Broker if you have any questions.

You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

You understand that Broker recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency.

• No Warranties . All Charters, products, services, advice and information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied to the fullest extent permitted under the law, including but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Without limiting the above, no warranty or guarantee is made (i) regarding the acceptance of any reservation request or Charter Reservation; (ii) regarding the availability of Charters, or any other product and/or services through Broker; (iii) that the use of Broker’s website will be error-free; or (iv) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability or quality of any information, content, data, service, advice or merchandise provided by Broker or through Broker’s website.

Broker has no special knowledge regarding the Charter Provider’s or Charter Supplier’s financial condition, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel during or otherwise in connection with your Charter.

• Limitation on Liability . In no event shall Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and/or their respective affiliates, or any employees, agents, officers, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing (“Broker and Charter Releasees”), be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, your access to, display of or use the Broker’s website, the Charter or services provided to you in connection with the Charter (including, but not limited to, your reliance upon opinions of the Broker), whether based on a theory of negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if Broker and/or any other of the Broker and Charter Releasees have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the limitation above, Broker or the Broker and Charter Releasees are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Supplier and the Broker and Charter Releasees will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the Broker Fee, and (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US $100.00).

The foregoing limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of Broker and/or its providers.

The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
