Do I need a licence to charter bareboat in the Caribbean?
No formal licence is required in most of the islands, but the charter company asks for a sailing résumé and may require a skipper for the first day if experience is thin; a skipper is booked as an extra on the boat page. Crewed catamarans need nothing of the guests.
When is the season?
December to April is high season — trade winds, dry weather and the highest prices; May to July is quieter and cheaper; August to November is hurricane season, when many boats are laid up and insurance limits where you can go.
What day do charters start?
Charters start any day of the week in the Caribbean, with handover around midday and return by mid-morning; the exact times are on each boat’s page.
Why is the BVI called the best place for a first charter?
The islands sit in a line along a sheltered channel: no leg is over two hours, the trade wind is steady, and every anchorage has mooring buoys, so the week needs no anchoring and no navigation to speak of.
