WHAT IS AN ALL-INCLUSIVE CHARTER ON A CATAMARAN?
Aquanimity is a 48-foot Italian-designed Dufour catamaran offering a true 5-star, fully crewed charter experience. With a professional captain and chef onboard throughout your journey, every detail is handled for you—from personalized dining to curated itineraries. Your crew serves not only as hosts, but as experienced guides with insider knowledge on the best places to explore, dine, snorkel, and unwind.

Designed for both luxury and comfort, Aquanimity features three spacious queen cabins accommodating up to six adult guests. Her open-concept layout, clean modern design, and expansive social areas create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The large covered flybridge delivers panoramic ocean views, making her the ultimate setting for relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable moments on the water.

HOW MANY cabins are there? AND DOES EACH CABIN HAVE A PRIVATE BATHROOM?
Yes each cabin has its own private bathroom. There are 5 Cabins in total, but only 3 Queen-Bed Cabins are available to charter guests. Our captain and chef share the 4th Queen-Bed cabin. The 5th cabin is very small and usually reserved for guests' suitcases, but special accommodations can be made if 2 additional guests (children under the age of 10) need a room as well. In this case, it would be an 8-guest charter for an additional $1000 fee added to the total (food, beverages, cleaning, and labor)

HOW MANY GUESTS ARE ACCOMMODATED?
Up to 6 Passengers (8 if two are small children). Only your group will be allowed on board. It’s a private yacht, exclusive to your group.

WHAT ARE THE MEALS LIKE?
A 7-night charter includes 7 Dinners, 7 Lunches, and 7 Breakfasts on the boat. If you want to eat/drink ashore, you would do so at your own expense. Inquire about half-board options as well.

WHAT IF I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES?
The chef can prepare anything. Our guests advise us in advance of what they want for meals. After booking, our charterers will receive a food preference sheet to complete.

WILL GUESTS BE ABLE TO DISCUSS ITEMS WITH THE CREW BEFORE BOARDING?
Yes! We will put you in touch with our crew before boarding so you can ask them any questions and get to know them better before you step aboard.

WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED FOR THE PRICE?
All fuel, ice, beer, wine, alcohol, linens, towels, food, and mixers are included. National Park fees are also included.

GRATUITY INCLUDED?
No, that is up to our guests at their discretion. Customary is 15%-20% of the charter cost.

WILL THERE BE THINGS TO DO WHEN NOT SAILING?
Yes, the boat has a variety of snorkel gear, water toys, mats, pads, floats, electric torpedoes, towels, fishing gear, and paddleboards. Guests are welcome to use all gear at any time.

IS THIS A FISHING CHARTER? No.

CAN YOU JUST SLEEP ABOARD WITHOUT CREW AND NOT GO ANYWHERE? No.

CAN I HELP THE CREW DOCK? CAN I HELP MOOR? CAN I SAIL THE BOAT?
Yes, the captain will gladly teach willing students. Although docking is likely a No. (too much potential to damage the boat or a dock.)

HOW TO SECURE YOUR BOOKING.
If you decide to book with us, click the 'Book Now' button. We will then send you a contract that you must sign. Once signed, a 50% deposit is due upon booking, minus any amount you have already paid to VRBO. That payment is either through wire transfer or ACH. And the remaining 50% is due 60 days before the start of the charter.

WHAT TO EXPECT SOON BEFORE THE VACATION BEGINS
About two weeks before the charter begins, you will receive a preference document to fill out, which we then provide to the crew. They then use that for catering to your food, beverage, and entertainment needs. It also states the standard ship's bar, which is pretty extensive. If you have any specific preferences for beer or wine, we will do our best to procure them. If you are interested in expensive or specialty alcohols/wines, they will also procure them for an additional cost. This sheet also asks about your vacation style. Such as whether you are a chill and yoga person, a partygoer, or perhaps a little of both. This helps the crew to understand how to develop your vacation.

HOW TO GET TO THE BOAT
You need to book your flights to Beef Island (Tortola), BVI. (EIS). Our boat will likely be moored across the street from the airport in Trellis Bay. Walk across the street, and you'll be on the boat, enjoying a painkiller within 30 minutes of leaving the airport.
Another option is to take a ferry from the same dock across the street from the airport to our docks at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor.
The crew will greet you, brief you on the agenda, and likely set a course that afternoon, depending on your arrival time. Additionally, if you arrive early, before noon on the day your charter begins, our charter management company has a friendly, secure office where you can store your luggage in Virgin Gorda.
