British Virgin Islands February - March 2025
The best sailing and weather in the BVI is to be had in February and March. So Foodie Sail picks those months to operate. If you would like to come outside this time we do offer private charter. Boat prices may be a little lower than listed below, so send us an enquiry to find our more. Or, just come and join us in '25 for the best sailing and food in the Caribbean!
Flotilla SailingFlotilla sailing started in Greece way back and has become a very popular way to enjoy yacht charter. The way it works is as follows is described on our Flotilla Sailing page here.
Basically you charter a boat through us (or on your own) but join us sailing around. Its independence with the security of a professional crew always at hand. 
Below are the prices for bareboat yacht charter with the Foodie Sail flotilla price included.
You will be sailing your own boat, but with the help and guidance of the lead boat. At least one person must have a licence or be an experience yachtsman.

Crewed CharterWith crewed charter you have the whole boat to yourselves and your guests.
Alex will captain the boat and Salome will be your steward. So everything is taken care of and you can relax and enjoy the lovely food and scenery as it passes by. You can join in with the sailing if you wish, or you can leave it all to Alex. Salome will prepare your meals and drinks on a half board basis. 
With crewed charter you have the choice of boats below, at these prices, plus the costs of crew and running the boat for a week. We typically recommend a budget for the boat of around $6,500.
The crew of 2 is $2,800 and the running costs are up to you! Typically around $3,000 a week. Some charter companies charge a flat rate of $25,000 a week all inclusive, but we prefer to leave more flexibility for you. |
Cabin CharterJoin Alex and Salome on their boat in a double cabin of your own. Alex will skipper the boat, but you are welcome to join in and have a go. Salome will prepare meals (half board is included) and most drinks are included too.
Normally this will be on a 48 foot monohull yacht with 3 guest cabins, but this can vary, and if you would prefer to be on a catamaran this can be arranged, especially if you are taking 2 or 3 cabins. Prices for cabins are typically $3,000 a week per person (based on 2 sharing a cabin).
