Your Perfect Luxury Private Yacht Vacation — Designed for Your Group, Not Just the Yacht
When Every Charter Yacht Looks Perfect Online —
How Do You Know
What’s Real?
Planning a private yacht charter can feel overwhelming. You’ve browsed hundreds of glossy listings, but:
• Are the photos current?
• Will the crew make everyone — kids, friends, grandparents — feel at home?
• Will it actually be relaxing, or will you spend the week worrying about details?
• Is the charter contract verifiable and funds protected?
You don’t need another website full of boats. You need trusted experts who know the people behind the yachts and will match you with the right fit.
A Personal Note:
Meet the Experts Who Know the Virgin Islands Inside and Out
At Avanta Yacht Charters, we work only for you.
Capt. Randy and Shelly Tucker, Formerly Yacht Charters Guru, have spent three decades sailing, cooking, and hosting charterers in these islands. As an Accredited CYBA Broker, we personally inspect the yachts and interview the crews we represent — because you deserve complete confidence before you ever step onboard.
Randy knows great charter captains because he’s been one.
Shelly knows great chefs because she’s an eleven-time Virgin Islands culinary award winner — more than anyone in the industry.
Together, we connect you with the most professional, caring crews for your group’s perfect match.
We're professionally recognized by CYBA, the Charter Yacht Brokers Association, as reputable and trustworthy yacht charter planners.
The British Virgin Islands
Let's Start Here if You Have Not Ever Chartered a Crewed Yacht!
While we have sailed all over the world, the British Virgin Islands was our "backyard" as owner & operator of a 72' charter yacht for 18 years. The Caribbean is our speciality; but we've sailed & booked charters in the Mediterranean too.
Why charter a yacht in the Virgin Islands? The sailing is very easy in the BVI & USVI; the seas are calm, and distances are short between islands. Many of our clients visit again & again because they love it. This IS what you need if you are new at chartering a yacht!
