Previewing the Best in Crewed Yachts at the BVI Charter Yacht Show

This highly anticipated event gives us an immersive experience filled with vibrant energy and insightful networking opportunities. At Nanny Cay Marina, we spend our days moving from yacht to yacht, inspecting the 65 catamarans on display, evaluating a range of sizes and luxury offerings, carefully inspecting every detail, ensuring each vessel meets our high standards for comfort, design, and performance.

Beyond viewing the layout and features, we engage directly with captains and crew to experience the level of hospitality our clients can expect on board. From the moment we step onto each yacht, we are assessing the attentiveness of the crew, the quality of the cuisine, and the warmth of the atmosphere. This opportunity enhances our expertise ensuring we maintain the high standards of service.

The event is so much more than yachts; it also features friendly competitions, such as cocktail blending and napkin folding, fostering camaraderie among crews and brokers. These challenges allow crews to showcase their skills, leaving a lasting impression on all us attending brokers.

The BVI Charter Yacht Show emphasizes eco-conscious practices, including the CYBA Designer Water Contest, which challenges yachts to replace single-use plastic bottles with innovative infused water options. This initiative highlights the importance of sustainability and creativity, encouraging the yachting industry to adopt more eco-friendly habits and align with the limited recycling infrastructure in the region. As active participants in the Charter Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA), we align with its commitment to high standards and eco-conscious practices.

Our goal is to provide first-hand knowledge of each yacht’s unique personality and crew dynamic, helping us match you with the perfect vessel to suit your preferences. We want your yacht charter to be nothing short of exceptional.
