The BVI has many attractions, including crystal clear aquamarine waters and the islands’ close proximity to each other
Because of this, a day charter with BOAT BVI offers endless options – snorkeling coral reefs and caves, swimming with sea turtles, freediving on shipwrecks, secluded beaches, popular beach bars, relaxation and so much more.
A typical day trip consists of a couple hours of sailing with stops for swimming, snorkeling, adventuring, lunch at a beachside restaurant (or boat bar!) and lots of laughs.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Sean is amazing and we are so glad he took us out for an amazing birthday trip! He covered for his friend Deb who was unable to commit to the charter I booked due to a boat issue. I was so worried that my birthday would be ruined but once we stepped on board, I know we were in good hands! So nice to meet you Sean!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kylie and Sean were a wonderful team to take a day with. They’re interested and interesting people who love the water, know the ropes and make sailing and stewing and guiding seem effortless. Such a perfectly chartered day, my tip is skip soggy dollar if you don’t like things too peopley, but so many places to explore. Seasoned sailors make all the difference and these two are very salty and fun.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best sail on the Namaste, a beautiful sailboat whose captains are Kylie and Sean. Seasoned sailors who took us to a great place for snorkeling and then on to Jost Van Dyke for lunch and a swim. There were 11 of us - 6 adults and 5 kids! Plenty of good wind for sailing. The kids and a few adults swam to shore from the boat. When I asked one of the kids later how she liked it she said it was Epic! And that it was! Thank you for a great day Kiley and Sean! Hope to come back to do it again soon!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our day on the boat with Kylie was the highlight of our trip to BVI! Scheduling the day was super easy. Kylie is very responsive. The boat is immaculate and so well organized. We were a group of seven - two dads, one mom and 4 college age girls. We had plenty of room on the boat. Kylie is full of knowledge about the area since she grew up in the Virgin Islands and on boats. She is easy to talk to and a genuinely pleasant person to spend the day with. We felt completely safe with her. She took us to some amazing snorkel spots and a great lunch spot on Norman Island. We brought some of our own drinks and snacks but Kylie had a fully stocked cooler and fruit for us too. If you have something particular in mind, I'm sure that she can accommodate your request but if you are like us and not sure of where to go for the best snorkeling, you will be in good hands. We would recommend chartering with Kylie 100%. Hopefully we will go back to Tortola sometime soon and when we do, we will definitely hook up with Kylie again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had THE BEST day with Captain Sean! Brought us to some amazing places to snorkel, swim and take in the beautiful surroundings of the BVIs. Sean was a blast to spend the day with and we cannot wait to comeback and do this again!! Thank you Sean (and Kylie!) for helping us make wonderful memories - we will be back!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time with Kylie and Shawn. Sailing was fantastic. They really were accommodating and my wife and I enjoyed our 41st anniversary together on the water. Everything went very well. It’s kind of thing that memories are made of.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Sean was fantastic and the boat was perfect for our crew of six. We knew where we wanted to go, and Sean delivered. Highly recommended! We went to Sandy Spit and then bar hopped on Jost Van Dyke.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing time with Captain Kylie and Captain Sean on their boat Awesome! They were both professional, knowledgeable and passionate! The best way to experience this area is by boat and Kylie and Sean knew all the places to go and when. We always felt safe and truly had a blast! We had two days on the the water with our 2 year old and 5 year old. Our 5 year old loved snorkeling so much and Kylie took on nurturing his passion so that my husband and I could also snorkel and tend to our 2 year old. Our 5 year old is still talking about all the things he saw! It was a magical couple of days! Thank you Kylie and Sean!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kylie and Sean were fantastic hosts and fun to boat around with. They knew great spots and had lots of good recommendations and took us on the most memorable trips of the vacation. Genuinely fun to hang out with for the day and very accommodating. They brought snacks, drinks, goggles and masks, etc. 100% would book them again and recommend to anyonePosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an awesome experience boating 2 separate days with Kylie & Sean! Both so flexible and accommodating to our needs - group of 7/8 family members all thrilled with the sites taken to snorkel and swim with the turtles and fish! Snacks and seltzers on boat, bring lots of sunscreen and be prepared for an outstanding adventure! Can’t wait to come back and book again with both Kylie & Sean!

We laughed, had fun and saw sea creatures! Boat BVI was run top notch professionally while also feeling like old friends! Highly recommend these wonderful people!!!!

We had the best day with Captain Sean! The boat was perfect for our party of 7! We all fit comfortably and had some shade when we needed it. We stopped at a bunch of beautiful snorkel spots and jumped off Willy Ts after lunch at Norman Island. We even saw turtles at our first stop and a Nurse Shark at the Indians. Captain Sean made the day so much fun for all of us! We will definitely be booking again next year!Posted onVerified The best time! Sean was the best captain and made our trip perfect! He made sure we went everywhere we wanted to go, made us a charcuterie board, and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. We had so much fun and it was the best excursion I have ever done!Posted onVerified BEST experience this week on Tortola (per ALL our family) We had a family of 7/8 on 2 excursions (1/2 day then a full day a few days later taking 2 yo grandson on that trip). Kylie and Sean were our captains and so accommodating for the 2 yo especially! Outstanding trips to Peter’s / Norman island and Bight Bay. Saw lots of turtles at Peter’s and well protected! Full day started south at Peter’s then the Caves and Willie T’s for lunch (jumping off deck a must for some!) and on to north shore Sandy Cay, Sandy Spit and quick stop at Jost Van Dyke (Soggy Bottom Dollars $$). Kylie’s communication and flexibility with trying to please a family was awesome! High(er) winds prevented us from some sites and both Kylie & Sean led us to the best boating routes for the best experiences. Each boating day was a “10” due to our captain each day! Cannot wait to return and book with them!!Posted onVerified Tortola Snorkeling From start to finish, this was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on the water. Kylie was incredible to work with while planning everything. She went above and beyond to make sure the day was tailored exactly to what we wanted. She genuinely cared about making it special for us, and you could feel that from the first conversation. Captain Sean was just as amazing. Down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and completely focused on making the day about us. He made us feel safe and comfortable at every stop, explained everything along the way, and clearly knows these waters inside and out. The snorkeling was unreal. We saw sea turtles, stingrays, jellyfish, and even an octopus, which Sean said is pretty rare! Every stop was perfectly chosen, and the lunch spot was just as thoughtfully planned as the snorkeling locations. If you’re even considering booking with them, do it. Professional, safe, accommodating, and genuinely good humans who care about creating an unforgettable experience. We’ll absolutely be back.Posted onVerified BOAT BVI CHARTERS We had a great time with Captain Sean Saturday, 02/07/2026. He picked us up at Grand Harbor at Jost Van Dyke and took us island hopping! He was very knowledgeable about all of the places we visited and took time to answer all of our questions. We visited the Baths, Bitter End, lunch at Saba Rock, Cooper island Rum Bar, and finally Willy T's. Great guy and great company! I highly recommend these guys! Can't wait to visit BVI's and rebooking a trip with BOAT BVI CHARTERS and Captain Sean!Posted onVerified Top boating experience in the BVI! Kylie was amazing to have a boat day with. We were able to visit quite a few islands and some of the best snorkeling spots in the BVI(ask her to take you to some of her “hidden spots”). Everything was provided….all you have to do is show up and have a great time! We will definitely be back!Posted onVerified Perfection in BVI An unforgettable day in the British Virgin Islands! Our private boat charter to Sandy Spit and the Soggy Dollar/Jost Van Dike was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was seamless, relaxed, and perfectly tailored to what we wanted. The boat was spotless and comfortable, the captain was knowledgeable and friendly, and we felt completely taken care of the entire time. Sandy Spit was pure paradise—crystal-clear water, powdery white sand, and postcard-perfect views in every direction. We started our journey early in the morning, and we’re the only ones on the island! And of course, stopping at the Soggy Dollar for Painkillers was iconic and lived up to the hype! We also snorkeled and soak in the beauty of the BVI. Thanks Kylie!!!
