BVI Charters

I'm looking at a 10 day catamaran charter in May 2022 getting quotes from several companies. Conch Charters had the most competitive price among the quotes I've received so far.

Anyone have experience with this company?

Their quote seemed to cover the things in other quotes: charter, insurance, permits, visar, fuel, etc.

Any other gotchas I need to look for which might make the actual price more than the quoted price. I know provisioning and moorings will be add on costs. What other things to looks out for?

Thanks in advance!

My vote is for Conch Charters.
I had a booking with them years ago, then unexpectedly found a sailboat I wanted to buy with survey and sea trial next, except I had this charter booked..
Conch graciously refunded my $500 reservation fee when I explained the situation.
I would charter with them anytime.

Re: BVI Charters

My bar tab always seems to be a big gotcha, or maybe I just drink to much

I have chartered twice with Conch Charters and have nothing but good things to say about them. I have never had any hidden fees, and have only been charged the quoted price. I have also chartered once with the Catamaran company and once with Dream yacht charters. They also had no hidden fees, service was about the same with all of them. I would save some money, go with conch charters, and enjoy your trip.

Re: BVI Charters

Thanks for the feedback. Booked the charter with Conch. I'll report back after it's done to document for future inquirers.
