Perini Navi from Viareggio is the pre-eminent name in large sailing superyachts, producing carbon and aluminium ketch-rigged vessels from 30 to 60 metres since 1983. The yard’s sailing rigs are electronically controlled and designed to be handled by small crews without sacrificing performance, producing vessels that are genuinely exciting under canvas and equally comfortable under motor in a flat calm. The British Virgin Islands and their reliable trade winds are the natural habitat for these ocean-going thoroughbreds.
Seven Perini Navi yachts are available for charter from Trellis Bay, spanning 30 to 55 metres and sleeping six to twelve guests across three to six cabins. The fleet includes ketch and schooner-rigged vessels with a range of interior styles, from classic teak and brass to contemporary lightweight schemes. Professional sailing crews of four to eight handle the rig and itinerary, with guest participation welcomed at the helm.
Weekly charter rates for Perini Navi yachts in the BVI run from around 50,000 euros for a 30-metre vessel to 200,000 euros for the largest examples. The advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel for motoring, food, berthing and drinks. Winter Caribbean season from December through April is peak, with trade winds from the northeast providing reliable sailing throughout.
Trellis Bay on Beef Island sits at the eastern edge of the BVI, ideally positioned for a downwind trade wind departure toward the outer islands. Anegada is a natural first destination for a Perini Navi, with the passage back through the island chain offering consistent close-hauled sailing.
