How To Guarantee Reliable Partner In BVI Yacht Charters

By Kimberly Jones


It would seem obvious that water vessels are moved across seas and oceans by simply sailing them. However, sometimes the distance may be too great. Or the sea too challenging for the vessel to sail through. Other times, there is too tight a deadline for the boat to get to the destination on time. In such cases, alternative means of transport like BVI yacht charters are required. It all starts with choosing the right company if you must enjoy stellar services.

The first thing to remember is that cheap could get one in hot water. This is definitely not a campaign against cheap. If the service is cheap but still quality then well and good. However, one must observe extreme caution when faced with a cheaper than usual price tag. There could be a compromise on quality or loads of undisclosed hidden fees.

Before proceeding any further into this subject, one must realize the difference between a carrier and a broker. See, it is very easy for one to find oneself dealing with a broker instead of a carrier. One will always get a better deal while dealing with the carrier instead of the broker. It is up to the vessel owner to choose which option to go with.

With experience comes assurances and guarantees. Okay, not exactly. But, think about it. One feels safer in the hands of a more experienced driver than a newbie. The experienced driver could be driving with one hand behind their back and a pirate patch. He or she would still seem like a better bet. So look for experience. It will come with knowledge of the best routes. It will come with education on risks and dangers. It will also come with expert handling of the vessel.

The company must also have adequate equipment. How will the vessel get onto the carrier vessel? Will it be lifted? In which case, there is a need for cranes among other tools. Will it be rolled on? The customer should understand the advantages and disadvantages of all the options. The method will be determined by the size and dimension of the vessel.

There are regulatory requirements to adhere to. Some might not be aware. Do some research before the meeting. If the representative does not mention, ask about it. A carrier that has no appreciation for these regulations is a questionable partner. Proceed with caution, if at all.

Some vessels are shrink wrapped. Shrink wrap is material that leaves no part of the yacht exposed. It protects from the elements. It has UV protection capability to protect from the sun. It will also prevent possible water damage and annoying puddles. However, this is quite expensive. The question then remains, is this worth it?

One should ask for preparation directions from the carrier. They might receive advice like empty the vessel. Remove all personal items. Remove all items that are not firmly fixed to the surfaces.
