Testimonials.
We just returned from our bare boat charter with Conch Charters. We spent 3 weeks sailing around the USVI & the BVI. It was an amazing trip !! This was our 3rd time chartering with Conch. The first 2 times we chartered a monohull. This time we chartered a catamaran. The people who work at Conch are one of the main reasons that we continue to charter with Conch. Every single person that we have come in contact with is not superbly qualified but also super nice and very easy to work with. The boats are always well maintained and in great condition. From the bed linens to the generator, everything is always perfect. We are already planning our bare boat charter for next year - of course with Conch Charters !!!!
As we embark on our second charter with Conch (to whom we have referred everyone that wanted to go to the BVI that we know) we just wanted to thank all of you (and especially Hazelle) for all of your kindness, help, patience and information. Without doubt, your customer service ethic is the best we have seen anywhere. We have all worked for The Walt Disney Company in our lives so we know good customer service.... Thank you again. We are so excited to be seeing Conch Charters and the BVI again.

Our mission is to serve the 50+ traveler who's ready to cross a few items off their bucket list.
I’ve never been much of a yacht person.
That’s mostly because I didn’t grow up in proximity to the ocean or other yacht-appropriate bodies of water. It wasn’t until I moved to the Mediterranean that I got a crash course in yachting.
If you’re new to yachting like I was, let me catch you up.
Yachts and boats are differentiated mostly by size and purpose. A boat is just about any type of vessel that floats—for utility, for business, for racing, and more. A yacht is distinct in that they’re at least 40 feet in length and tend to be more luxuriously designed and appointed.
That’s the key here—yachts are for pleasure.
Most of these flashy vessels are docked at yacht clubs.
What’s a yacht club, you might ask? Like any type of club, these groups bring together hobbyists and professionals who adore yachting (and even sailing). Most yacht clubs set up shop near or on marinas where members dock their boats.
Some also offer membership benefits like mooring discounts, training sessions, sailing programs, and even social events. The very best might even include fine dining restaurants, clubhouses, pools, fitness centers, and lounges, similar to a social club .
But the focus is on yachting as a passion—which means some of the world’s best yachting clubs are located in tropical paradises where boats abound.
What’s coming to mind for you? I’m already imagining the Caribbean .
Specifically, I have the British Virgin Islands in mind. This cluster of islands is renowned globally for its yachting and boating culture. Even the US Virgin Islands offer a few top-tier yacht clubs.
Want to know the best part? Yacht clubs are usually open to the general public, especially those who are on private charters. While yacht clubs are heavily geared toward those who own a vessel or are chartering one, some might even let people visit their restaurants.
If you’re interested in exploring the world of yacht clubs, make sure to check out these locations. They’re some of the most highly rated yacht clubs in the Caribbean.
Bitter end yacht club.
Virgin Gorda
What makes Bitter End Yacht Club a top pick for BVI travelers?
Aside from its over-the-water rooms and emphasis on eco-friendly materials, this club has been a top choice for years thanks to its location. Virgin Gorda is renowned as one of the most beautiful islands in the British Virgin Islands.
On top of that, the Bitter End is placed right smack in the middle of the British Virgin Islands’ best sailing conditions. Year-round sunshine and ideal wind conditions mean that those who stay here can take advantage of boating adventures all day, every day.
The cherry on top is its family-owned and open-minded nature. Many guests report returning year after year thanks to the homely and casual vibe.

Peter Island
Ocean’s 7 Yacht Club is a popular stop for guests on private charters along with those mooring their own vessels. The staff manning the yacht club are prepared to help yachters dock their boat, then start enjoying nearby activities—from snorkeling to sipping on a cocktail.
The restaurant is also highly rated. The fresh seafood has been highly rated, along with the view over the ocean. Just keep in mind that this is a sleepy little outpost, similar to the Bitter End Yacht Club.
The Moorings is one the premier yacht chartering groups in the British Virgin Islands—no need to bring your own vessel.
The Moorings is also a global brand, meaning you can expect plenty of experience and expertise when you book a charter or another experience. The focus here is on customization. From their base in Road Town, Tortola, the Moorings team can help you craft a personalized yacht charter.
Most are focused on exploring the 50-odd islands dotting the British Virgin Islands. Some charters also include docking portions to allow visitors to sample the best restaurants and cocktail bars around the islands.
St thomas yacht club.
Racing is the name of the game at the St Thomas Yacht Club. Whether or not you plan on competing—or even mooring—at this club, it’s a great spot to watch live regattas. The yacht club also offers lessons, including youth sailing lessons, advanced seafaring courses, and community events.
Community seems to be a pretty strong focus here. The yacht club regularly hosts events like Friday night pickleball and afternoon drinks in the galley. Plus, it’s open to newcomers, offering programs like the Learn to Sail Vacation Week.

The Ilma officially kicked off its maiden season for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection earlier this week.
After being delivered by the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in mid-July , the 456-guest vessel received its first paying guests on Sep. 2, 2024.
On that day, the Ilma departed from Monaco for a seven-night cruise to France and Italy that is set to end in Rome.
The open-jaw itinerary features visits to Cannes, Saint Tropez, Livorno, Bastia and Porto Cervo, as well as Monte Carlo and Civitavecchia.
During its maiden season, the LNG-powered ship then offers a series of seven- to 12-night cruises to the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Aegean.
Extending through late October, the program also features departures from Piraeus, Barcelona and Civitavecchia.
In November, the Ilma arrives in the Caribbean for a winter cruise season that features sailings from San Juan, Fort Lauderdale, and Bridgetown.
For its first cruise in the region, the ship offers a six-night itinerary departing from Puerto Rico that includes ports of call in St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, Antigua and the British Virgin Islands.
Before receiving its first guests earlier this week, the Ilma operated training voyages across the Mediterranean .
With over 350 crew members onboard, the 37,000-ton vessel underwent a series of preparations during the period while visiting ports in France, Portugal, Malta and more.
Debuting a new design, the Ilma became the largest ship in the fleet for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which also includes the 298-guest Evrima.
Currently under construction for the brand at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique Shipyard, the Luminara is also set to join the company’s fleet.
A sister to the Ilma, the vessel is scheduled to enter service in July 2025 ahead of an inaugural season in Europe.
The Luminara then marks Ritz-Carlton’s debut in Asia , offering ten new itineraries in the region between December 2025 and May 2026.
