These Fully Equipped, owner operated, value priced yachts are available fully crewed or with the "Captain Only" value option. You and your group are the Crew on Captain Only Charters. You sail the boat, purchase and obtain provisions, cook, clean, and do everything necessary to operate the yacht. The captain's role is primarily as guide, advisor, and helmsman. Unlike a bareboat, these yachts include all the watersports equipment, individually listed on each yacht's page. You are not required to keep a damage deposit, the overall responsibility of the yacht remains with the captain. This is a great way to enhance your boat handling skills, and save a little money. The captains are not part time transients normally associated with the bareboat fleets, all captains are fully qualified owner/operators who have made sailing a full time permanent part of their lives.

Larger yachts, those able to comfortably accommodate 6 or more guests, require considerable boat handling skills, and constant maintenance in order to retail quality condition. Most larger yachts have a permanent crew of 2 or more to attend to these tasks and cannot be reasonably offered on a captain only basis. Keep in mind, you are responsible for acquiring the provisions as well as their costs. Groups arriving in the late afternoon should consider staying in a hotel to allow time to get organized or hire the provisioning task. Many Captains are willing to provide this service for an additional fee. There are companies who specialize in this service in St. Thomas, and Tortola.
