charter for a group of 8

Post by michigan girls »

Our group for April has grown from 6 to 9. We managed to secure another nearby villa, and get tickets on the same flight as the original 6 had already booked. I am in touch with Dohm's to set up land and water taxi and the cars are reserved. My only remaining "open" item is our BVI day trip. Obviously, a group above 6 puts my normal "go-to" charters (Palm Tree and Island Roots) out. I know I have seen posted on here before that there are some boats that can take more than 6. We would need it to take 8, as 1 of our group gets seasick and therefore will not be coming along that day. We are not interested in a larger group situation, as we like to set our own agenda. Also not really interested in the ferry, as we would want a couple snorkeling stops, the Willy T, and Soggy. Suggestions??

Pirates Penny and Stormy Petrel can carry 10-12 and often do a private group of your size - absolutely professional crew and comfortable vessels - worth looking into.

On one of our day trips in 2012 we had a group of 12...6 adults and 6 kids. We had a great experience with Motor Yacht Cinnamon Bay. http://www.motoryachtcinnamonbay.com/pr ... rters.html
All the best!

Born to Rhumb is absolutely our favorite charter. Fabulous service and hospitality. We have used them the last three years.

Born to Rhumb is who we call when we are more than six.
