Charter Company Feedback

Hello - We are considering doing a charter in the BVI's. Any feedback on the charter company "Bareboats BVI". We have used Sunsail in the past. Thank You.

Re: Charter Company Feedback

So are we. We're looking at a 32 to 34 footer. The Moorings seem to start at 36 and up. Looking at Sunsail and BVI yacht charter. Seem to be about the same in cost. A co-worker used Sunsail and has already rebooked for next year. Be interested to see what comes up here.

What time of year are you looking at and would you charter in the Bahamas?

No input on the above, Bareboats BVI.

Can't more highly recommend BVI Yacht Charters.

Ya BVI yacht charters was kind of my first choice. Haven't heard anything negative about them. Hopefully end of February we'll check it out for a week.

What exactly is the name of the company? I do not think that Bareboats BVI is a charter company, rather it is an agent. If a charter company where is their base? If they're only an agent I would prefer to deal directly with a charter company.

Re: Charter Company Feedback

I can't speak to Bareboat BVI, but Footloose has some of the smaller boats recently out of the Moorings, including the 32.5.
