Conch Charters BVI

Anyone use these guys before? If so what was your experience? I’m currently trying to book a charter with them. So far they’ve not asked about sailing experience.

Re: Conch Charters BVI

We have used Conch 4 times and they were great. I’m sure they will want to know your experience level, in the past they have usually questioned some basic boating knowledge during the boat briefing.

Re: Conch Charters BVI

They just sent me the form. I haven’t been able to reach them by 800# or the local BVI. Keep getting a “your call can’t be completed” message when calling the US 800#. It’s a little disconcerting when I’m about to give them a debit card.

They've been around since the mid eighties. Decent second tier charter company. Have survived when many others didn't

Re: Conch Charters BVI

Hi we chartered from them in 2017. They were great, good boat no problems, and very helpful staff. We had a lot of sailing experience so no issues.



Have fun.

Re: Conch Charters BVI

They're legit, as the others have said. Used them in 2012 or 13.
