9/10 Charterers Land in St Thomas, but Start in the BVI. Why? ⚓ myBVIcharter

9 out of 10 charterers fly into St Thomas — but their charter starts in the BVI. Here's why, and why it actually works better that way. ✈️ WHY EVERYONE LANDS IN ST THOMAS • Way more flight connections than into the BVI • It's a domestic US flight — easier and cheaper • Makes sense as your arrival airport ⚠️ WHY STARTING YOUR CHARTER FROM ST THOMAS IS TRICKY • Fewer and fewer yachts can legally pick up in St Thomas • BVI government is making cross-territory charters increasingly difficult • Charter companies sometimes get pulled over by BVI customs — food and drinks can be confiscated • You'll spend charter time clearing customs at both ends (sometimes hours) • You're losing precious "golden charter time" sitting at customs ✅ THE BETTER OPTION: Ferry or water taxi across, then board in the BVI • Ferry: ~3 main crossings per day, affordable • Water taxi: faster, more direct, they handle customs for you • Either way, you're not burning charter time on border crossings 📖 Full guide — Start in St Thomas or BVI? https://mybvicharter.com/bvi-yacht-charter-start-usvi-or-bvi/ 🔍 Search BVI Charter Yachts: https://mybvicharter.com/bvi-crewed-yacht-charter-search/ 🌴 Plan Your BVI Yacht Charter: https://mybvicharter.com/ ⚓ DMA Yachting — Charter Experts Since 2005: https://dmayachting.com/ https://mybvicharter.com/ https://mygreekcharter.com/ https://mycroatiacharter.com/ https://bahamasmotoryachts.com/ https://mymallorcacharter.com/ https://mycorsicacharter.com/ https://myturkishcharter.com/ https://charterguru.com/
