Perini Navi sailing yachts are the defining vessel of the BVI trade wind charter experience, and seven examples of the Viareggio yard are available in British Virgin Islands waters with Cooper Island among the most consistent anchorages on the circuit. The electrically furled rigs and performance hull forms that have characterised the yard since 1983 were designed precisely for conditions like the BVI: a steady north-east trade, protected inter-island passages, and anchorages that demand quiet arrival rather than noisy motoring. In the BVI, a Perini Navi reaches Cooper Island Beach Club on a broad reach from Road Town, arriving in time for a full afternoon in the water before the restaurant opens. Lengths in the charter fleet range from approximately 35 to 60 metres. Weekly rates run from around 90,000 to 250,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance at 30 percent. Fuel costs are lower than on motor yachts of comparable length: a BVI week on a Perini Navi is largely spent under sail. Peak Caribbean season December through April.
