WHAT IS AN ALL-INCLUSIVE CHARTER ON A CATAMARAN?
Aquanimity is a 48 ft catamaran with a captain and chef on board with you and your group the whole time. Our stellar crew takes care of everything you desire while onboard. They can recommend places to visit and explore, places to dine out onshore, places to hike and snorkel, etc. Think of them as tour guides with the inside scoop on where to go and when to get there.

Yes, there are 4 Cabins in total, but only 3 Cabins are available for charter guests. Our captain and chef share a cabin.

WHAT ARE THE MEALS LIKE?
A 7-night charter includes 7 Dinners, 7 Lunches, and 7 Breakfasts on the boat. If you want to eat/drink ashore, you would do so at your own expense. Inquire about half-board options as well.
WHAT IF I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES?

WILL GUESTS BE ABLE TO DISCUSS ITEMS WITH THE CREW BEFORE BOARDING? Yes! We will get you in touch with our crew before boarding to ask them any questions and to get to know them better before you step aboard.

HOW TO SECURE YOUR BOOKING.
If you decide to book with us, press the book now button. We will then send you a contract that must be signed. Once signed, a 25% deposit is due upon booking, minus any amount you have already paid to VRBO. That payment is either through wire transfer or ACH. Another 25% is due 120 days before the charter, and the remaining 50% is due 60 days before the charter starts.
WHAT TO EXPECT SOON BEFORE THE VACATION BEGINS
About two weeks before the charter begins, you will receive a preference document to fill out, which we then provide to the crew. They then use that for catering to your food, beverage, and entertainment needs. It also states the standard ship's bar, which is pretty extensive. If you have any special preferences for types of beer or wine, we will try to procure them. If you are into expensive or specialty alcohols/wines, they will also procure that for an additional cost to you. This sheet also asks what your vacation style is. Such as whether you are a chill and yoga person, or a partygoer, or perhaps you are a little of everything. This helps the crew to understand how to develop your vacation.
HOW TO GET TO THE BOAT
You need to book your flights to Beef Island (Tortola), BVI. (EIS). Our boat will be moored across the street from the airport. Walk across the street, and you'll be on the boat, enjoying a painkiller within 30 minutes of leaving the airport. The crew will greet you, brief you on the agenda, and likely set a course that afternoon, depending on your arrival time. Additionally, if you arrive early, before noon on the day your charter begins, our charter management company has a friendly, secure office where you can store your luggage and a gorgeous lagoon pool for you to relax in while waiting to board the boat.
