Honeymoon Charters British Virgin Islands (BVI)






A Hammock Full of Happiness!!!

You are getting married!  Congratulations and  WhooHoo!!

What an exciting time for you both.

The beginning of a brand new life together,  partners,  lovers,  best friends forever.

We don’t think there’s a more exciting time in anyone’s life, is there?

So what are you planning to do for your Honeymoon?

Below is an excerpt from www.bridalguide.com about why to come to the British Virgin Islands (aka The BVI) for your Honeymoon.
British Virgin Islands (aka The BVI)
It has been said that “British Virgin Islanders could drape the terminal at Beef Island Airport in a giant banner that reads, "Welcome to the Sailing Capital of the World"—although they'd never actually do anything so crass. But that's essentially what the BVI has become over the past 30 years: the globe's number-one spot for chartering (and honeymoon) sailors.”

Note: Not for anyone who prefers the self-serve piña-colada machines and 24/7 party scene at a mega-resort. These islands seen from the deck of your personal and private chartered yacht are really for those who want peace and quiet and time alone, together with their tropical paradise.

And they are so right. 
BUT, you don’t have to know how to sail a traditional boat or catamaran or know how to run a motor yacht to have a fantastic time in the Caribbean on the water. 

Beach Picnic for two at the famous Baths on Virgin Gorda, BVI
Can you see yourselves dining here? 
Your honeymoon cabin is waiting for you on board your own private yacht.
 Your own private Floating Resort Villa!
Master cabin on catamaran Lolalita, waiting just for you.





Let's compare this Honeymoon choice with the two options below:

  • Some people choose a Cruise Ship honeymoon.

On a cruise ship, you share your public spaces with tons of other people. There is a fixed itinerary and scheduled events. Not so on your own private charter. Every day you go to another lovely cove where your skilled professional crew knows where you can go to be alone. Just the two of you. No fixed schedules. No wake up calls. And all your meals and preferences are tailored specifically to you in advance. No one else.

  • Some people choose a resort or villa to stay in.

You’re adventuresome and having the time of your life, right? You must be or you wouldn’t have traveled to the Virgin Islands for this special occasion. Resorts offer many amenities for the Honeymooner. BUT, for the Adventurer, there is one thing to keep in mind: You’re at the same place every day. 
What about a “movable resort”? 
Where every day you arrive at another exotic destination. It only takes an hour or so to change your scenery!
So, kick up your heels!!

Get down here!

Deep Sea Fishing in World Class Sportfishing Waters! The US Virgin Islands!


No Passports required for US Citizens!
The Virgin Islands are perched at the edge of the six mile deep Puerto Rico Trench, an area known for having some of the hardiest game fish in the world. Two well known fishing areas off of St. Thomas USVI are the North Drop, about 20 miles north of St. Thomas; and the South Drop, 8 miles south of St. Thomas.  Migrating schools of small fish gather in these areas, and this attracts larger pelagics such as Billfish, Tuna, Wahoo and Dolphin fish (Mahi-Mahi). "Working the drop" consists of trolling back and forth across the 50-100 fathom depth contour.
The trench is 800 kilometres (497 mi) long and has a maximum depth of 8,648 metres (28,373 ft)
Oh, my!! 

Here's a list of just some of the bounty of the Sea waiting for you!

*All other meals are taken ashore at Charterers expense on both St. Thomas and St. John, USVI. You are welcome to supplement the provisions on board with your personal bar preferences and other items to your taste. 
**Ask about chartering in St Marten. The boat will travel there, schedule permitting, with a delivery fee to be applied.
Please note: Crew gratuity is customary and normally ranges from 10-20% of the charter fee, client's discretion. 

Can you just imagine the fresh fish steaks on that grill? 

Meet your Skipper! Welcome to the Virgin Islands!

Capt. Clarke Mixson
Capt. Clarke has enjoyed the past few years catching fish in the Gulf of Mexico with the owner of Island Breeze using the boat’s amazing deep-drop power reel. He is looking forward to using this technology in the Caribbean to entertain guests and feed them with the bounty the power reel retrieves from the deep ocean. Clarke loves preparing fresh sushi and grilling fish on Island Breeze’s outdoor BBQ. When he’s not catching fish, you’ll find Clarke leading scuba diving trips and exploring wrecks and reefs with guests or entertaining them with his many tales from his life on the water. Clarke holds a Padi Dive Master certification and a 100 Ton Master’s Captain’s license. Clarke lists his three boating priorities as Safety, Comfort and Having FUN!
So put yourself in this picture and get ready to yell "FISH ON"!!!
