People do this all the time. It's called "chartering", and the
BVI is THE premier
destination for
newbie charterers (and experienced charterers, too).
All you need to do is convince the
charter company you're a competent
skipper and have a credit card in your wallet. If you don't feel quite confident enough on your own, the
charter company will put a
skipper on board for a day or two to get you up to speed (for a
price, of course). Or, consider finding another couple who has some sailing experience to come along to share the expenses. The charter boats are set up for two or more couples.
I'd suggest using the
Google search feature in the "Search" pull-down menu up top on the page to find threads in the CF
archives about chartering in the BVI to get a feel for what's involved. Then look at websites of the charter companies in the BVI for costs, etc. If you're located anywhere near
Annapolis,
Maryland, go to the
Boat Show in October and talk with the charter company reps there.
