Gulf Craft from the United Arab Emirates offers one of the most accessible entry points to British Virgin Islands chartering, with three vessels operating in Virgin Islands waters and Cooper Island among their regular anchorages. Gulf Craft yachts are fibreglass-hulled motor yachts built for warm-climate use, typically in the 28 to 40 metre range with twin diesel packages designed for the short inter-island passages that define a BVI week. In the BVI, their practical advantages are clear: low fuel consumption on the sheltered Drake Channel runs, mooring fields accessible without specialist local knowledge, and a crew of four to six who maintain a relaxed and unpretentious charter atmosphere. Cooper Island Beach Club is twenty minutes from Road Town at cruising speed, making it an easy first anchorage for any group boarding in Tortola. Weekly rates run from approximately 30,000 to 70,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance at 30 percent. For groups focused on time in the water and at anchor rather than vessel prestige, Gulf Craft provides a competitive and practical choice in the BVI charter market.
