Cooler(s)
Each boat is fitted with one cooler. The base will provide 2 bags of ice. There are boats that cruise the BVI waters to provide cruisers and charterers with ice and other necessities.
Navigation Equipment
All of our charter vessels are equipped with marine electronics including at least a depth sounder and one chart plotter for ease of navigation and course-plotting. Be sure to review the equipment details of your charter vessel. We encourage all guests to become familiar with the systems of their vessel ahead of their arrival by reviewing our boat check-in videos.
Lagoon, Jeanneau, and Beneteau vessels are fitted with B&G electronics; Fountaine Pajot is equipped with Garmin, and Bali yachts are fitted with Raymarine electronics.
The navigation equipment on your vessel also includes a chart, a cruising guide, and binoculars.
Safety Items
Life jackets are provided for all guests and are located in a locker aboard your vessel. Be sure to check the sizes before leaving the docks. We provide kids' emergency use life vests upon request. Guests who intend to use child life vests while onboard the dinghy or for swimming and watersports should bring their own.
Every charter vessel is fitted with standard safety equipment including a first-aid kit, emergency tiller, horseshoe lifebuoy with light and line, fog horn, two safety harnesses, fire extinguishers, life raft, tool box with wooden plugs, distress signal kit, and secondary anchor. Additional safety equipment may be supplied to meet the requirements of the registration country of the vessel.

About Marine Toilets
Your charter vessel will be equipped with either manual or electric toilets. A manual toilet is fitted with a manual pump, while the electric toilet is operated with the push of a button. If you are unsure how to operate the marine toilet on your boat, please ask the base staff for assistance during your check-in.
Proper use of marine toilets (heads) is critical to a successful charter experience. The most important thing to remember is to not put anything down the toilet that you did not eat first – this includes toilet paper – with no exceptions. The blocked head will be charged $150/head.
