Day Charter Recommendations for BOTH Baths/JVD

[Caribbiana]

Hello All! Any recommendations for a day charter to both The Baths and White Bay? We’re a group of 4 that will be on a cruise with a stop in Tortola next March from 8 AM - 5 PM.

 

Everyone in our party has been to both places many times, and we all spent a week in Tortola in 2019 and really just enjoy the BVIs in general. This is obviously a quick visit, and we’d really like to spend our limited time at these two spectacular spots. Traveling between on a high speed boat is not a waste of time for us, it’s part of the adventure!

 

That being said, not sure what is even possible with all the Covid restrictions that may or may not be in place next March. I will try to recruit another couple (or 2) sailing on our itinerary to help cover costs if possible. 

 

Any recommendations or information would be greatly appreciated! This is X posted on another site. Thanks!

You’d need a private charter to hit both areas. See the link above in regards to a Capt. Malcolm.

You can also look for feedback on the BVI TT forum -

Thanks so much, blue_water. The http://www.oceanmagicmitch.com/captain-malcolm link is not working for me. Does he have a number to reach him? I’ll try searching and posting on the TT boards. I appreciate your help and recommendation.

 

I’ve reached out to 2 other companies a few days ago but 🦗🦗🦗so far.

This is the contact info I was given back in 2019, but it may not still be valid based on Eaton’s May 25 post.

This looks like Captain Malcolm’s new outfit -

Thank you. I’ve just emailed him. If I’m successful in booking a charter, I’ll update with all of the info. Hopefully it will help someone else in the future. Very grateful for your help! 🤗

Nice day that, maybe you can also stop for drinks at the Willy T or Pirate’s Bight! 😉

See this thread. Mitch has passed away.

@blue_water, Haha not sure we’ll be even to walk back on the ship after just one Soggy Man! I do enjoy Willy T’s, we need to do just a BVI trip again. Gorgeous place with so much to see and do!

 

@weltek, The referral was for Captain Malcolm, not Mitch. Apparently he has his own business, Sunshine Powerboats. Sounds like Captain Mitch was well liked and was a great Captain. Never got the chance to meet him, unfortunately.

Yes that was already shared here welter. Capt. Malcolm had worked with Ocean Magic but has his own business and that is one of the charters Caribbiana is looking into.

Yes same here, the islands of the BVI are always my first choice. We too never metMitch unfortunately. There are many other excellent charter outfits like Patouche, Kuralu, and Aristocat to name a few, and I know Joe at Patouche also offered custom, private charters on a powerboat if you want to try him too…

Thank you! I’ve emailed 2 of those, but I’ll also try the third. I know it’s early to book for next March, but I really want to make sure this plan is in place. It will be our highlight of the cruise!

 

You’ve been so helpful, @blue_water. MUCH APPRECIATED 🤗
