Perini Navi sailing yachts are the definitive statement in crewed sail charter, and seven examples of the Viareggio yard work are available in British Virgin Islands waters. The sloop, ketch and schooner rigs produced at La Spezia and Viareggio since 1983 share a common DNA: carbon or aluminium spars, electrically furled sails operable by a crew of two, and interior volumes that rival motor yachts of the same length. Seven Perini Navi yachts charter in the BVI, ranging from 35 to 60 metres, each crewed by teams of six to twelve who know Caribbean sailing conditions thoroughly. The BVI is the natural home of a Perini Navi charter: reliable trade winds from the north-east, protected inter-island passages, and anchorages that are accessible under sail alone. Weekly rates run from approximately 90,000 to 250,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance at 30 percent. Fuel costs are lower than on motor yachts of similar size, but wind-assisted passages are the draw. Peak Caribbean season is December through April, when the north-east trades are strongest and most consistent.
