Explorer yachts for charter in Anegada combine the range and capability of an expedition vessel with the remote charm of the British Virgin Islands most northerly anchorage. These purpose-built yachts, designed for offshore self-sufficiency and shallow-water access, are particularly well suited to the BVI outer islands, where the horseshoe reef requires careful piloting and the reward at Setting Point is a turquoise anchorage away from the main charter fleet. Around 15 explorer yachts operate across the Caribbean and Virgin Islands. Explorer yachts carry the equipment and range to extend well beyond the standard BVI circuit. From Anegada, a longer program can push east into the Spanish Virgins, south into the Leeward Islands, or north to the less-visited islands of the northern Caribbean chain. These are vessels designed for guests who want to arrive at places that the standard charter itinerary cannot reach. Weekly rates for explorer yachts in the Virgin Islands start from around 40,000 euros, with larger or more capable vessels reaching 300,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers food, fuel, berthing, and crew gratuity. High season runs December through April. Explorer charters tend toward longer durations, with two-week programs being particularly popular for guests arriving from Europe. Setting Point at Anegada is the staging point for the outer BVI circuit by explorer yacht. From here, the tender can deploy to Loblolly Bay reef for diving and snorkelling above some of the best coral in the Virgin Islands. The Horseshoe Reef itself, over 30 kilometres of living coral and more than 300 known wrecks, provides several dive sites accessible from the anchorage. Heading east from Anegada, Anegada Passage leads to the Spanish Virgins and the outer chain of the Leeward Islands, where an explorer yacht can spend a week or more without retracing a single course.
