Virgin Gorda charter questions
How much does a private boat charter in Virgin Gorda cost?
On Virgin Gorda trips, captains on CharterBid usually bid about $1,650–2,050 for a private full day and about $950–1,000 for a half day, for the boat and captain, for a small group. Group size changes it less than you might think, because you pay for the boat, not the seat. BVI entry fees of $75–$90 per person and a 15–20% tip come on top. Your own trip's bids may land higher or lower.
How long is the boat ride from St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda?
About 1–1.5 hours each way from Red Hook in a fast boat in fair weather, plus the BVI customs stop. It is the longest regular day trip from the USVI, so start early.
Can you always visit the Baths by boat?
No. The Baths close to boats when a north swell makes the anchorage unsafe, so calm mornings matter. Your captain will know the conditions and can switch to Devil's Bay, Cooper Island or North Sound.
Do I need a passport for a Virgin Gorda charter?
Yes, if you are coming from the USVI. Every guest, children included, needs a valid passport, and BVI entry fees are paid per person on the day.
