Unlike typical carter trips, bareboat BVI charters sail without a crew or provisions, making for a truly authentic trip. For people with experience in handling maritime vessels and who have a group that can manage the tasks of the ship while they sail, heading out to sea in a chartered boat like the Sanctuary is an experience that will not be soon forgotten.
Island Spirit Shrine 37
For its length, Island Spirit 37 Sanctuary is among the most spacious of its kind in the world. This is because the manufacturer placed the two main bulkheads three feet farther apart than you will find on other catamarans that feature 22-foot girders. This breadth is one of the reasons bareboat charters in BVI Sanctuaries are so popular.
While sailing, boaters enjoy a chart table that is fully equipped and includes a sound system with a CD player and VHF and iPod systems. Up to six adults can kick back and relax in the living room and never feel cramped. Getting to the British Virgin Islands is assisted by Raytheon gauges, a reliable Autohelm autopilot, and an accurate GPS plotter.
The saloon of this magnificent catamaran has six hatches. There is a closet and locker in each stateroom, set away from other sections of the ship to provide genuine peace, privacy and solitude. Each private room has an adequate number of port lights to allow a draft on warm Caribbean nights.
A new mainsail and an enlarged bimini top allow for quick sailing and provide plenty of shade on the deck. These and many other amenities make sailing a Sanctuary feel like the name implies – your own chartered sanctuary in the middle of miles and miles of beautiful ocean.
The virgin islands
Many sailors experiencing a Sanctuary for the first time find it hard to believe that they are not on a ship twice the size of their Spirit 37 in reality. The cabin is approximately the same size as those found on most 43-foot boats. In the U-shaped kitchen, cooks comfortably prepare food on abundant work surfaces and store supplies in two refrigerators, one of which includes a freezer.
Perfect for sailing, the British Virgin Islands are located in the Caribbean and are part of the British territory. The British Virgin Islands are within the Virgin Islands archipelago; Other islands in this archipelago include the Spanish Virgin Islands and the United States Virgin Islands. All of which are ideal travel settings when using bareboat charters in the BVI.
The trip is always delightful, especially for crews chartering a bareboat boat in the British Virgin Islands on a Sanctuary catamaran. They go comfortably and arrive refreshed to see Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola and Virgin Gorda, which are the main islands of the British Virgin Islands. In addition, there are more than 50 more islands, which are smaller.
