-- MyBVICharter, operated by DMA Yachting, has appointed charter experts Chris de Kock and John Boullin to actively monitor live availability for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year yacht charters in the BVI, as demand reaches record highs. With premium yachts booking fast, now is the time to act before the most sought-after options are gone.
With peak holiday dates fast approaching, top yacht brokers Chris de Kock and John Boullin are closely tracking the final openings for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year yacht charters in the BVI. Acting as real-time monitors of the BVI fleet, the brokers are helping last-minute travelers secure rare holiday charters as availability tightens.
“We’ve got a shortlist of catamarans and motor yachts with last-minute space,” says senior broker Chris de Kock. “But the best ones are going quickly. These are peak holiday weeks, and they fill up early every year.”
The holiday season — especially the weeks around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s — is traditionally the busiest time for crewed yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands. Many yachts are booked 6–12 months in advance. But with travel plans shifting and new availability appearing daily, experienced brokers with live fleet access remain the key to securing last-minute charters.
“We’ve seen the setups — the lights, the decor, the full Christmas menus,” says John Boullin. “Clients love it. Families especially. It’s such a unique way to celebrate the holidays together, and the BVI is perfect for it.”
The experience extends far beyond the yacht. Crews decorate their vessels with lights and ornaments, host onboard dinners with traditional favorites, and even arrange New Year’s beach parties with private setups. From the iconic New Year’s celebrations at Foxy’s and Trellis Bay to quiet mornings in secluded anchorages, the BVI offers something for every type of guest.
A big reason BVI luxury yacht vacations remain in such high demand is the region’s easy accessibility from the United States. Most travelers reach the BVI via short connections through St. Thomas or San Juan, arriving in just a few hours from major US cities. No long-haul flights or complicated transfers — just a smooth journey to world-class cruising grounds.
Why the BVI Is the Caribbean’s Holiday Favorite
- Easy access from the U.S. via St. Thomas or San Juan
- Calm winter sailing with short island hops
- Legendary holiday events like Foxy’s Old Year’s Night
- Full-service crewed charters with chefs, cocktails, and custom itineraries
- Picture-perfect settings for families, couples, and groups
Brokers report limited but premium openings remain for groups looking to hire a crewed catamaran in the BVI. Available options include 3 to 6-cabin catamarans and larger USVI and BVI-based luxury motor yachts departing from Tortola, Virgin Gorda, or St. Thomas — with full crews and festive amenities included.
“There’s still time,” says Chris. “But not much. If a charter slot opens today, we’ll know — and we’ll get you on it.”
