Your private, floating boutique hotel offers the perfect balance of luxury and comfort. With gourmet meals tailored to your tastes, a fully stocked bar, and a thoughtfully curated itinerary, every element of your vacation is designed with your enjoyment in mind. kThe only items that are not included on the charter are travel expenses to get to the BVI, gratuities for the crew, and food and beverage purchased off the boat.

At this time, Endless Summer III is only available as a fully crewed charter, which includes a Captain, a Chef, and a Stewardess - all with extensive yachting and hospitality experience.

Endless Summer III is designed to comfortably sleep up to 10 guests across five staterooms. The primary suite features a king bed, three cabins are equipped with queen beds, while the fifth cabin can either be two extra long twin beds or a split king. All staterooms include an ensuite bathroom. A separate mid-port cabin is reserved for the crew to ensure your complete privacy and uninterrupted enjoyment of your yachting experience.
Each ensuite bathroom is equipped with a full shower, vanity, and electric toilet, as well as hair dyers and shower toiletries. While the bathrooms may be smaller than what you are accustomed to at home, they are designed to maximize space and should be equipped with everything you might need.
Please refer to our charter rate table here, as the weekly rates vary depending on the time of year and number of guests joining the trip.
December to April is typically considered the dry season in the British Virgin Islands, with pleasant weather and ideal sailing conditions. This time of year is considered peak sailing season. The shoulder seasons (May-June and November) are typically less crowded and weather can still be quite nice, with a bit more potential for rain. In June and July, Endless Summer III is available for charters in the Grenadines.
The charter will begin and depart from Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, so most guests fly into the Terrance B Lettsome Airport (also known as Beef Island Airport). Our team can help arrange transportation to Nanny Cay Marina once you have arrived on Tortola. Some popular connecting airports for flights to the British Virgin Islands include San Juan (SJU), St. Thomas (STT), Antigua (ANU), St. Maarten (SXM), and Barbados (BGI). American Airlines offers direct flights from Miami International (MIA) to Tortola.

The British Virgin Islands use US dollars. While most of the islands accept major credit cards, we suggest bringing enough cash for certain expenses. Some things may require cash payments, such as airport/ferry transfers, taxis, service charges, meals, and crew gratuity. Not all businesses in the BVI accept American Express, so be prepared for this.
If you would like to leave gratuity for the crew, we are able to accept cash, USD check or a wire transfer. This can be done separately to each crew member or to our chef and she can divide it between the crew. Unfortunately we are not able to use Venmo or Zelle.
The British Virgin Islands offer endless opportunities for fun, and Endless Summer III is the ideal vessel to explore them. Let us know what activities you’d like to do, and we’ll make them happen! Otherwise you can rest assured that our knowledgeable crew will plan the ultimate BVI itinerary for your charter experience. Each day, we will sail to a new island, with the potential to stop at secluded coves and beaches along the way, which is an excellent opportunity to enjoy water sports and relaxation.
If vibrant nightlife and lively beach bars appeal to you, we will navigate to the most popular and dynamic destinations. For those seeking tranquility and seclusion, we are more than happy to identify the most picturesque and serene anchorages. Should your sense of adventure lead you to explore, hike, swim, or engage in other active pursuits, our crew will happily recommend the best ways to enjoy these activities.
Whatever your ideal experience may be, Endless Summer III ensures that every aspect of your journey is thoughtfully designed to create unforgettable memories.
We will not typically be docking in a marina at night, unless the group specifically requests this. However, our tender can easily transport group members to shore at any anchorages that have a marina or on-island entertainment. One of the best parts of a BVI sailing experience is anchoring or picking up a mooring ball at night, and enjoying the peace and quiet and gentle ocean breezes of being out at sea.
Boats are always moving, even in calm waters, and some people are more prone to seasickness than others. To ensure your comfort, we recommend bringing seasickness remedies that work best for you—whether that’s wristbands, patches, or pills. Prevention is key, as it can be difficult to treat seasickness once it begins. We also carry a variety of treatments onboard.
Yes, Endless Summer III is equipped with Starlink Wifi, which is fast and reliable when you need to check in with home or work. Please note, cell coverage on the islands can be spotty in certain areas.
Hard-sided suitcases are difficult to stow aboard, so we ask that you pack using smaller, collapsible duffel bags, as storage space is limited. Casual clothing is best—shorts and shirts are perfect for the majority of the time. For ladies, a sundress or a blouse with shorts or a skirt works well for most dinners ashore. Don’t forget swimsuits, cover-ups, toiletries, medicine, hats, sunglasses, sleepwear, and books and personal entertainment.
You might want to consider a waterproof bag or pouch for phones, cameras, money, etc, and a small backpack or bag for shore excursions. A UV protection shirt or rashguard can also come in handy, as well as a lightweight sweater or jacket for cool evenings/mornings. We’ll take care of the rest!
We operate a barefoot policy aboard. If you prefer to wear shoes, we ask that they have non marking soles, and they must not be shoes that you wear on land during the trip. We ask that you keep those separate. If you plan to visit the Baths, we recommend packing water-friendly shoes like Tevas or water shoes for climbing on the rocks. For shore excursions, flip-flops or sandals are ideal for most occasions. If you’re planning to hike, you may consider packing appropriate footwear for hiking.
We have a water maker and purification system onboard that can create 70 gallons per hour of fresh drinking water.
