By Linda Evans


A cruise ship is a motor driven water vessel used mainly for recreational and fishing purposes. People on vacations intending to tour various destinations can choose to charter a motorboat in the Virgin Islands. The BVI yacht charters are synonymously known for their naturally attractive beaches and highly ranking restaurants and clubs.

Boat deeds involves granting your vessel to be used by someone else at a price. It simply means hiring your cruise ship for an agreed period of time on agreed terms for an agreed amount of money. The Virgin Islands operate two sub categories of yacht chartering with emphasis being paid on the size of a particular vessel and the number of occupants it can hold.

The agreements are normally legally binding and the hiring cost depends on the type of the vessel you wish to hire, the period of time you intend to use the particular sailboat, the number of crew members onboard and the kind of the charter. In British Virgin Islands there are three major types of yacht charters namely, the bareboat charter, by the cabin charter and the skippered charter.

Yacht chartering in British Virgin Islands is sub-categorized in two main divisions. The inspected passenger vessel is one major such sub-category. Inspected passenger ships are formulated to accommodate up to several hundreds of tourists and possess unique luxurious features such as five star restaurants and clubs and live concerts . These kind of vessels are well, reserved for the elite and financially endowed individuals.

The bareboat charters are also prominent in British Virgin Islands. It involves chartering a sailboat and skippering it by yourself. Bareboat agreements require the hirer to have basic knowledge in seamanship. Many of the companies in BVI that offer bareboat contracts also conduct seamanship training to equip clients with the requisite basic knowledge on skippering a boat.

Worth noting, the skippered charter is another type of yacht chartering in the British Virgin Islands. This type does not need one to have skills in sailing a water body as they are leased out with an accredited skipper on the sailboat. Skippered vessels are priced according to the number of cabin crews and also on the time of sailing, whether its on the peak season or on the low season.

Additionally, cabin charters introduced most recently is yet another type of chartering in the BVI. Cabin charters come in opportunely to people on vacations that do not possess the applicable skills in steering a ship and in the same instance cannot afford renting an entire skippered vessel all by themselves hence the bareboat and the skippered agreements do not suit them.

In conclusion, Yacht chartering is a lucrative business venture that has attracted numerous investors in BVI. It involves leasing your vessel to be used obviously at a price. The three main types of charters as singled out by this piece are the skippered, bareboat and by the cabin agreements.Cruises are mainly for recreational purposes.
