5. Infinity
The Chef is Out of This World
Infinity is a brand-new 2023 Lagoon 46 that’s raising the bar for what you’d expect on this size yacht. For example, she has an e-foil onboard—something practically unheard of for a Lagoon 46. On top of that, she’s got a wakeboard, water ski, paddleboards, sea scooter, snorkeling gear, and floating mats. She is also equipped with all the SCUBA gear for 2 divers at the time, including suits, tanks, and air compressors.
Infinity also has a movie projector for outdoor cinema nights, basic gym and yoga gear, a Weber Grill, and a pizza oven.
This brings us to Infinity’s absolute highlight–the Chef, Mathis Chenavas. With a background rooted in French culinary traditions and experience with Italian, Spanish, and Caribbean cuisines, he’s the kind of chef you’d expect in a fine-dining restaurant—not on a yacht in this price range. Having someone of his caliber onboard adds incredible value to the charter experience.

4. Purely Blu
Great Rates, Amazing Crew
Purelu Blu is a fantastic option, especially when you consider the charter rate—it’s hard to find this level of value with such a well-outfitted yacht. The cooling systems, storage space, and overall layout are a step above what you’ll see on many other Lagoons in this price range.
We are not the only ones liking Purely Blu – She actually won the title Runner Up Best in Show at the recent USVI Yacht Show 2024.
The real highlight, though, is the crew consisting of American Captain Brad Needham and Chef Zoe Gahan. They’re not just there to take you from point A to point B—they’ll go out of their way to show you the real BVI, which they know like the back of their hand.
Purely Blu is perfect for groups who want flexibility: whether you’re into water sports, heading ashore to explore, or just enjoying lounging around onboard, the crew tailors the experience to whatever you’re in the mood for. They also love sharks and can get you up close with these fantastic beasts.

3. Andiamo
Amazing Selection of Watersports Equipment
We recently had the pleasure of stepping aboard Andiamo at the BVI Yacht Show 2024 for a walkthrough and crew interview. We were welcomed onboard by Captain Juan and Chef Rochi. It’s not just their professionalism that stood out—it’s their palpable passion for what they do. Their dynamic partnership is the heart of Andiamo, and it’s easy to see why so many guests rave about their time aboard.
First, let’s talk about the toys—because, wow, Andiamo really delivers here. Whether you’re into paddleboarding, snorkeling, water skiing, kneeboarding, kiteboarding, or trying out the ever-popular Seabobs, this yacht has it all. For those who love fishing, the gear is ready and waiting. The variety of equipment makes this yacht perfect for adventure seekers of all ages and skill levels. It’s clear from guest feedback that these toys create some truly unforgettable moments, from tubing with kids to foiling lessons with Juan’s patient guidance.
The layout of Andiamo is like a typical Leopard 50, with a layout and cabin arrangement that suits families, couples, or groups of friends. The cabins are immaculate, thanks to the crew’s great attention to detail. Little touches—like the daily quote cards on the beds—are evidence of the crew’s thoughtfulness and care.
But let’s not forget the cuisine, which is where Rochi truly shines. Guest after guest has raved about her incredible meals—healthy, creative, and tailored to their individual dietary needs. One past guest even mentioned that her food surpassed what they serve at their own restaurant back home—high praise indeed!
What struck us most was the consistency of glowing feedback from past guests. We left Andiamo impressed, inspired, and frankly wishing we could stay onboard longer.
Highly recommend!

2. Deborah Anne
A Standout Bali 4.8, the Crew Makes the Charter
We’ve included Deborah Anne on our list mainly because of her incredible crew. Guests consistently rave about how Captain Liam Wilson and Chef Keagan van Blerk run the yacht—with great attention to their needs, wonderful and fun personalities, and excellent knowledge of the BVI’s best spots. They seem to have really nailed the balance between professionalism and creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere onboard.
Deborah Anne is a Bali 4.8 and brings a different kind of design to the table than the other Catamarans on this list. Think of her more as a floating villa than a traditional catamaran. The signature “garage door” feature opens the main saloon completely to the aft deck, creating a spacious, breezy living area that guests really apprechiate when spending a week onboard.
Up front, the trampolines are replaced by a solid deck with extra room for lounging and sunbathing, while the flybridge has both a shaded area and a sunbathing area under the open sky.

1. Ohana
A Super Well-Priced Fontaine Pajot
And now to our favorite charter catamaran currently available in the British Virgin Islands. This well-priced Fountaine Pajot 59, fresh off her first charter season, carries an incredible story: She has recently been around the world with her owners. That is proof of an excellent vessel!
When you meet the crew, Brian and Jessi, you are instantly convinced of their dedication; you know you are in good hands. They want to make Ohana feel like a home away from home. Guests have repeatedly praised their ability to anticipate every need, as well as their welcoming and warm nature, which makes them feel like family.
Let’s talk about Ohana. She’s spacious and beautifully laid out. There is honestly so much deck space you will have to make an effort to use it all–Flybridge lounge, foredeck lounge, afterdeck al fresco area, a big swim platform, and a super spacious main saloon. But honestly, the boat is just the backdrop. Brian and Jessi are the stars of this show.
Brian, a seasoned captain with a wealth of local knowledge, has a knack for planning itineraries that are both adventurous and perfectly paced. He likes to introduce his guests to a mix of the BVI’s more “secret” spots and legendary spots like the Soggy Dollar Bar and Bitter End.
And Jessi? She’s a rockstar. Her food isn’t just good—it’s the kind of cooking that makes you stop mid-bite to say, “Wow, this is amazing.” And she even manages to nail it with picky eaters or strict dietary restrictions.
It is pretty clear that Ohana is destined to become a very sought-after charter favorite. As she is new in charter, her price is set quite low compared to her size and standards; we expect this might change in the future. If you’re looking for an affordable luxury catamaran, this is an exceptional opportunity.
