Many charter companies try to serve two masters. They work for the people who own the yachts, and they book vacations onboard those same yachts. Our team at Virgin Island Sailing is different. Along with our sister company, Seven Seas Yacht Charters, we do nothing but book vacations—with no incentive to suggest an "in-house" yacht to you instead of the right yacht for you. We are well experienced, too. Our proprietor, Tom DeMartine, has cruised more than 80,000 miles. Our Virgin Islands crewed charter expert, Gail Hartman, has 17 years in the industry. Our bareboat expert, Melody Delgado, has been chartering for just as long. Our worldwide megayacht expert, Tim Nelson, has spent nearly a decade working exclusively with charter yachts 100 feet and larger. Whether you want an entry-level bareboat, a family-priced crewed yacht, or a top-dollar luxury charter, our team can help you. At Virgin Island Sailing, we are more than just experts. We are experienced charterers ourselves, and we treat you as one of our own.



OUR CLIENTS SAY...

I really appreciate Tom's friendliness, advice and availability. Several factors made me choose Virgin Island sailing: the quality and clarity of your web site; your friendliness, quality of advice, readiness to help and speed of response; and the fact that I was able to reach you by phone. Some charter companies never answered their phone or returned my call. The cruise was top quality and was well worth the money!! - Carina K

Thanks for your assistance, Tim. Your service and attention to details was excellent!

Melody, we had a great time, due in no small part to your assistance and attention to detail. We are part of a community of people who are avid boaters and sailors, and we will be recommending your services to them.Paul & Jackie B

Melody, you were awesome! You made it so easy. I'm not a good trip planner and had never been to the Virgin Islands (or anywhere in the Caribbean). You streamlined the process while keeping us informed each step of the way. It was Flawless. I've already recommended you to friends who want to plan a BVI bareboat cruise. - Patty M.

You guys are top-notch and I'll use you again. Your method of presenting charter offers is phenomenal . I really liked the e-mail with the links to the site where I could actually take a look at the yacht in question, and review the pertinent details of both the yacht and the charter company. Great work! - Matt H

Gail, thank you for all the time on the phone and email you spent with me helping us plan this trip. We were all a little unsure exactly how this trip would be-staying a week with a crew who were perfect strangers. I believe it is so important to match your clients with a beautiful and well kept yacht and a crew that is friendly and accommodating. The Marolanga is such a comfortable and clean yacht. Gus and Marcella were the perfect hosts. This was a very special trip for all of us, and we were given special memories which will last a lifetime! - Karen H

Gail, Jim and I just wanted to say a big thank you for the lovely welcome bottle of champagne when we arrived!! We again had a wonderful trip with Rob and Michele. Our girls and their boyfriends had no idea one could have so much fun sailing! - Kathryn & Jim

Gail, everything was so perfectly and so professionally pre-organized through your agency and assistants. Thanks also for the champagne, which we drank later during the week. A very delicate and appreciated touch of class. - Robert D

When my charter broker retired I started looking online for another company that could provide the timely and professional service I was accustomed to. That is when I met Gail Hartman. My first e-mail was responded to almost immediately. Gail proves to be the most professional of all. Virgin Island Sailing is a well-run organization, and we will certainly tell that to anyone who may ask. - Brian H.
