Set sail on a week-long crewed yacht vacation with Avanta Yacht Charters and discover why it’s the ultimate way to travel: privacy, local expertise, gourmet meals, and stress-free luxury. Read our latest post to learn all the advantages and plan your next escape.

Welcome Aboard Catamaran TORTUGA, a 46’ Lagoon for a private yacht charter Caribbean experience. Guided by crew, Captain Lars & Chef Jaz, you’ll enjoy relaxed sailing, chef-crafted dining, and adventures from serene snorkeling to wind-driven watersports—all designed around you. The irony of this sailor crew love story is the crew met in Nashville, completely landlocked. After working for years side by side on super yachts, they are happily aboard Tortuga in the British Virgin Islands. Our clients loved their vacation and you will too!

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) introduced the Economic Substance Act in 2018, effective from 1 January 2019. This law was enacted in response to pressure from the EU and OECD to ensure BVI companies are not just "paper entities" created solely to avoid taxes.

The Truth Most People Don’t Realize About Yacht Charters

The yacht is not the experience.

The crew is.

After nearly three decades in the industry, we can say this with complete confidence:

“A beautiful yacht with the wrong crew can lead to disappointment. A well-matched crew can turn a great yacht into the best vacation of your life.”

We know what it feels like when:

* A crew is perfectly in sync with their guests

* A meal turns into a memory that lasts a lifetime

* A captain quietly adjusts plans to create a better day

* A family connects in a way that simply doesn’t happen anywhere else
And we also know when those things don’t happen.

That difference is everything.
