In today's Wlms Yacht Charters Charter Chat, we discuss the different options travelers have to get to Tortola, BVI. In 2026, Tortola serves as the main island in The BVI where private crewed charter yachts begin and end their charters. With limited flights into Tortola and over 25 daily flights into neighboring island, St Thomas, USVI, many ask can they start their charter in St Thomas? While this a common request, the current relationship between The USVI AND BVI is as Facebook would say "Complicated." There are some limited yachts that are currently able to legally pick up and drop off in The USVI and offer a BVI itinerary. These are VERY limited in number. So what's the best option for getting to Tortola? Find out in today's episode of Charter Chat. For more information on this topic, feel free to review: https://wlmscharters.com/british-virgin-islands/how-do-i-get-to-tortola-bvi/ To discuss your specific logistics, drop us a note at: https://wlmscharters.com/contact-us/
