Anegada motor yacht charter places you at the far northern edge of the British Virgin Islands, where the flat coral island and its legendary horseshoe reef define a cruising experience unlike anything else in the Caribbean. Motor yachts are the natural choice here: the crossing from Tortola takes around two and a half hours under power, the reef demands precise navigation best managed with bow thrusters and a skilled captain, and the anchorage at Setting Point rewards arrival with calm turquoise water and some of the finest lobster in the region. The motor yacht fleet available for charter in the Caribbean and Virgin Islands numbers over 160 vessels, ranging from sleek 30-metre performance yachts to broad-beamed 50-metre flagships with beach clubs and pools. Most programs to Anegada begin in Tortola or Virgin Gorda, allowing guests to move north across the Sir Francis Drake Channel before reaching the reef. Weekly rates for motor yachts in the Virgin Islands start from around 50,000 euros, with the largest charter yachts reaching 500,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, berthing, and crew gratuity. The high season runs from December through April, when trade winds are steady and rainfall minimal. Some vessels relocate to the Mediterranean for summer, so confirming Caribbean availability in advance is advisable. From the Anegada anchorage at Setting Point, the reef stretches almost 30 kilometres along the island north shore. Motor yacht guests can take the tender to Loblolly Bay on the north coast for some of the best snorkelling in the BVI, explore the remains of the more than 300 ships wrecked on the reef over the centuries, or simply walk to the Cow Wreck Beach Bar for a rum punch. Returning south, the passage through North Sound on Virgin Gorda leads to the glamour of Saba Rock and Bitter End before the fleet reassembles in Road Harbour at Tortola.
