Additions to the Fleet

We have some great new vessels joining our fleet., what do they say about tmm yacht charters, "we chartered a 5 cabin fountaine pajoe for the 9 guests on this trip. since 1998, we have chartered with tmm around 8 or 9 times, and owned a boat in their charter service for 8 years. since our first bvi charter in 1990, we have used 4 different companies, and can say beyond a doubt tmm is far and away the best. their boats are perfectly maintained, spotlessly clean and better equipped then any competitor's. watermakers, generators and air conditioning......what more could you ask for how about friendly, professional staff from the sales office, to the marina office staff, to the maintenance gang to the cleaning staff.....and don't forget the taxi folks. just a great gang from start to finish. can't say enough about tmm, except that if anyone asks me for a recommendation of a bvi charter company, it is tmm hands down.".

• British Virgin Islands | Explore the Enchanting Islands

The British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 90 miles east of Puerto Rico. As you fly into the BVI, as it is known, the views are outstanding—a chain of islands with turquoise waters and white sand beaches.

The BVI consists of over 60 islands and islets. It offers the most protected sailing in the Caribbean. You can sail within the islands without going into the open ocean. Most of the sailing is by line of sight.

The BVI covers approximately 1300 square miles of less than 60 square miles of land mass, so it would be best to spend more than a week there on a vacation.

Who governs the British Virgin Islands?

As a British Overseas Territory, the United Kingdom appoints a governor. However, the Premier, elected by the BVI Islanders, heads the Government of the Virgin Islands.

Road Town, Tortola, is the capital of the British Virgin Islands. “The Tortola Virgin Islands Constitution Order 2007 established a new constitution. This granted the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual.”

How do you get to the British Virgin Islands?

There are multiple ways to get to the BVI:
