Bareboat charter
Just completed a 9 day bareboat charter with Conch Charters and it was the best experience. We have chartered with other companies, but this was by far the better than the others. The briefings we received were great and our boat was clean and well prepared to make this an amazing experience. We will use them for future charters.

Conch Charters Bareboat Experience
Just finished a 10 day bareboat charter with Conch Charters on a 46’ Beneteau. I have to say that Conch was top notch from the beginning of the process. Great pre-charter communication and very responsive with any questions. Boat and chart briefings were thorough (we have an obsessive captain 😉). Boat performed very well with minimal issues (lazy Jack system is a pain to raise the main in moderate to heavier winds). But the home base responded with support to resolve minor issues. I have to add that they have some pretty bad ass women working the boats (Meg & Hannah) and in the office (Bernadette) who know their sh**! Very pleased from start to finish. We’ll be back

Another great BVI bareboat sailing trip using Conch Charters! The boat “Anila” was layed out beautifully and very spacious for 6 of us. No issues at all during the nine days. This was our 3rd time using Conch and the staff are always amazing and knowledgeable! Already booked for next year, 2026! Highly recommend them.

Conch Charters
My wife and I recently returned from a weeklong vacation on a Conch Charters sailboat. We chartered a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 389 which was perfect for us. The boat was in excellent shape. Equipment, sails and mechanics all in good working order. The boat was spotlessly cleaned with fresh linen and towels.The best part of Conch Charters was the people. From the first time we called for information to the end of charter everyone on the team was friendly, helpful and polite with no attitude. Special thanks to Megan and the women who worked with her whose name I can't remember who did our check in and out. Also thanks to Bernadette who did out precruise briefing and answered all our questions with humor and knowledge. We would definitely cruise with Conch Charters again.

Our 7th charter since 2017 with Conch. Monohull this time but have rented cats as well. The boat was ready when we arrived. Clean, heads were perfect, chiller and freezer cold and operating. A/C on and boat cool. As always greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff (we know most well by now). We sleep aboard, so ready to go in the morning. We love that staff takes the boat out of the marina and into the channel; we actually had zero issues with the boat or brief or chart briefings. I like that there is a hull video so we know exactly the condition of the underwater hull before we depart. I also swim the hull on our first mooring to confirm. We had one hot water issue and I called the office… was talked thru possibilities and was able to easily find and solve the problem. On return after our 10 day sail we were met and guided to the fuel dock. Then onto the slip. Easy debrief and we were on our way to the airport at Beef Island. As a side note… we don’t use the ferry to/from St Thomas any more. So easy and stress free to Miami on AA.
We will use them again! Special thanks to Ross as always. Cheers!

We had an excellent experience chartering with Conch for the first time in February on Sir Galahad II. Their staff were exceptional, and the customer service they delivered really made the whole charter a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We had an issue with our dinghy on the first day and the office staff diligently worked to resolve the problem in a very short period of time. We are already planning a return trip for next year. Can't recommend Conch enough.

Best Charter Yet in the BVI's
We had an excellent experience chartering with Conch for the first time in February on Sir Galahad II. Their staff were exceptional, and the customer service they delivered really made the whole charter a relaxing and enjoyable experience. We had an issue with our dinghy on the first day and the office staff diligently worked to resolve the problem quickly. At a time when everything seems double the price of just a few years ago Conch delivers an extraordinary value. We are already planning a return trip for next year. Can't recommend them enough.

BVI Charter
I can’t say enough great things about this company. We just got done with our second bareboat charter with them. Our boat was well maintained and everything worked as expected. Their briefing of the boat prepared us for operating and enjoying the vessel. We will definitely use them again!

Conch for the win!
We chartered a lagoon 45 for 10 days with Conch charter and it was awesome.
Despite the boat being from 2019, it was 100% better maintained than the 2022 45 lagoon we chartered just a few months before with a different well known chartering company.
With Conch you actually get a clean boat, and not a smelly cat! Trusts me it makes a huge difference.
The boat was well stocked with essentials, ready to sail the beautiful BVI waters.
Conch Charter ensures that the boat is in good shape, run you through the essentials and covers all you need to know before you go. Again, a huge differentiator compared to the larger chattering compagnies that simply don’t have time or are not staffed enough to actually spend time with you.
We got the a WiFi and it worked so well! I was able to do a few conference calls from the boat! Impressive!
Hanna and the team actually care about the boats and it shows. If you are looking for a great chartering company, a personalized experience, kind and welcoming staff, well maintained and clean boats, search no more, Conch charter is there for you!
I will definitely charter with them again.
Thank you Conch Charter for making our vacations perfect and worry free.

Amazing time. Awesome boat in great condition, staff were all super helpful (Hannah was great getting us set up on the boat, Bernadette was super patient with my millions of questions while I waited for the rest of my group). Only complaint is that, after sailing one of their boats in BVI, I think Im ruined to enjoy it anywhere else now! Thanks much for a wonderful trip!

From the moment I saw Bella, our Lagoon 450 Catamaran, I knew we'd made a great choice. The vessel was extremely well maintained and stocked with basic necessities. The Conch staff was very hospitable and wasted no time welcoming our crew and helping us settle in. From the staterooms, heads and galley, to the rigging and dinghy, EVERYTHING was ready for a worry free sailing experience.

Our crew spent 10 days sailing the beautiful islands, and in that time we had little to no issue with the functionality of the vessel. She sailed beautifully and when required, her dual diesel engines made motoring a breeze.

Would I sail the BVI again? Most definitely. Would I use our recommend Conch as a preferred charter company? 101%. There are several to choose from, but I can attest that with Conch, you get what you pay for!!

Just got back from our first charter with Conch after a good friend recommended them. We had an incredible experience and I honestly wouldn't consider chartering anywhere else in the BVIs. Our boat was clean and very well maintained with lots of little details like the beautifully folded towels and the fish spotting guide. All the staff we worked with were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional and the checkout and return were a breeze. I also really enjoyed not being just another carbon copy Moorings/Sunsail/Dream yacht in the anchorages. Thanks to Hannah, Sam, Pete, Bernadette, and everyone else that helped us create such a wonderful vacation.

Just got back from 10 days on the 45 foot cat “Bella”. Wonderful experience from the check-in with Hannah to the check-out with Sam. Boat was well maintained and clean, we didn’t have any issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Conch and would go with them again if we return (which I really hope we do).

Gem of the BVI!
Another great charter experience with Conch Charters. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the water and can't wait to come back. Boat and chart briefings were excellent (lots of useful tips) and the boat was well maintained. A real gem in the BVI!

Last week was our second year chartering with Conch. They are absolutely top notch in terms of value, service, and friendly support. Conch’s boats are kept in great shape and they go out of their way to resolve any issues. Anytime we charter in the BVI again it’ll be with Conch. Thanks to Hannah, Ross, Megan, Bernadette and the whole crew for making it a week to remember!

BVI 2025 with Conch Charters
Had a great sailing week with Conch Charters. Sam gave us a detailed walk thru of all the functions of Sea Ranch our Jeanneau 389 for the week and also went over our dingy. This is our second year sailing BVI with Conch and the entire team is great. Looking forward to next year.

Great Experience
This is our 3rd time chartering with Conch, so that should tell you something. We had an efficient check-in and an excellent boat and chart briefing. We had an issue with one of the instruments and it was replaced on the spot before we left the dock. The boats are really well maintained. We sailed for two weeks in good winds with no problems at all. It is so very nice to be on a sailing holiday that doesn't include waiting around for someone to come and fix the boat. Shout out to all the staff for making the trip go so smoothly. The valet service to the dock is a very nice touch as well.

Great experience with Conch Charters
Conch Charters in the British Virgin Islands offers clean , well maintained boats , friendly service, and a laid back less stressful vibe. The staff went out of their way to make our trip easy and enjoyable. They even replaced a lost boat hook during our trip, and helped us dock and fuel at the end of our trip which alleviated the stress of bringing someone else’s boat into a crowded marina. Their charter briefing was so helpful, it included a detailed itinerary with recommended stops and places to avoid, with lots of details on where to provision, pick up a mooring ball and what sights to see. The boat checkout was professional, detailed and she answered any questions we had about the boat and sail plan. Plus, Conch Charters is a family-owned business, so you get a more personal touch. The price was more reasonable than other companies we looked at. Overall, we highly recommend them for your Virgin Islands sailing adventure!
