Tortola to Norman Island questions

How long is the boat ride from Tortola to Norman Island?

It is about 6 nautical miles in a straight line from Road Town. In a fast powerboat or power catamaran in fair weather that is roughly 15–⁠25 minutes each way. It is our estimate, not a timetable: sea state and the boat set the real time.

Do I need a passport for this trip?

Both ends of this trip are in the British Virgin Islands, so there is no customs stop between them.

What is included in a private day charter?

A standard day charter usually covers the boat, captain, fuel and basic snorkel gear. Food and drinks ashore and the crew tip (15–⁠20% is customary) are usually extra. Each captain's bid says what it covers.

Can I add stops on the way to Norman Island?

Yes. A private charter goes where you ask, within what the captain can safely do in the day. Name the stops in your request and captains price the whole day.
