Virgin Gorda Private Tours: Boat Charters to The Baths

Group capacity and included services

Prices described here were retrieved on 11 November 2026. They are starting prices for the whole group, up to each stated capacity. Keep that group total as the basis of comparison and set aside the extra costs attached to the particular route. A larger capacity is useful when everyone needs the same outing; it is not an instruction to fill every available place.

The seven-hour international charter starts at 2,950 USD for a group of up to six. A captain and crew, snorkelling gear, floating noodles and floats, a fresh-fruit tray, afternoon hors d’oeuvres and an open bar with water, ice, beer and seltzers are included. The boat also has an air-conditioned interior and two full-size bathrooms. This is the option for a group starting on St. Thomas and choosing a broader BVI boat day with The Baths as a possible route. Fuel, towels, gratuity and the stated customs charge sit outside the group price.

The four-hour Baths charter for up to six starts at 1,390 USD per group. It includes private transportation, soft drinks, bottled water and beer on board. This is a straightforward choice for a smaller party whose central objective is the Baths visit. Its shorter overall programme gives a different shape to the day from the seven-hour international outing. The services described here centre on transport and drinks, so compare it on those terms.

For a group of up to twelve, the other four-hour Baths charter starts at 2,080 USD per group. Private transportation, soft drinks, bottled water and onboard beer are included. The larger maximum group size is its practical distinction from the six-person charter. It keeps the same four-hour duration while accommodating a larger party under a group booking. It suits travellers who want to make the Baths outing together rather than divide into separate small parties.

The six-hour Baths adventure starts at 1,750 USD for up to five people. Alongside private transportation, soft drinks, bottled water and snacks, it includes snorkelling equipment and a guided snorkelling session. A cooler with ice is available for guests’ own drinks. Choose it when an included guided session is important to your group, rather than selecting on equipment alone. Its six-hour duration and five-person capacity form a different package from the four-hour transport charters.

Private charter or shared trip?

A shared excursion is a good fit when its set route already matches what you want to do. The public options combine The Baths with White Bay or with Cooper and Norman Island, with separate departure choices. A couple or small party comfortable with that programme can choose by itinerary and included services without taking responsibility for a whole charter booking. The boat-trip comparison explains those routes, while the St. Thomas guide keeps the Red Hook departures together.

A group charter makes more sense when your party needs the capacity of a particular boat or specifically wants the guided snorkelling package. The choice here is between concrete services and durations. Four hours of transport and drinks is a different purchase from six hours with a guided session, or seven hours from St. Thomas with onboard catering. Start with the experience the group wants to share, then match the charter to that purpose.

Border charges and park fees

Entry information is current to 11 November 2026. For travel from St. Thomas into the BVI, carry a valid passport and complete the mandatory digital Entry and Departure Card. The official process is free. Submission is within 72 hours before travel, with an official recommendation of at least 24 hours ahead. Keep the confirmation available with the rest of the party’s travel documents.

The St. Thomas charter states a BVI customs charge of 110 USD per person in addition to its group price, plus fuel charged by consumption. That customs amount is a term of this particular excursion, rather than an official uniform tariff for every visitor. Keep border costs, fuel and the charter price as separate parts of its cost structure. Park admission is another distinct item in planning a visit to The Baths.

The official Baths ticket page retrieved on 11 November 2026 lists 10 USD for adults and 5 USD for visitors under eighteen, with online charges of 0.25 USD and 0.13 USD respectively. The day pass covers The Baths and Devil’s Bay. These admission figures describe the park ticket rather than an included benefit of the charter packages discussed here. The Baths visit guide explains the shore approach in more detail.
