Moonlight Madness, anyone? What luxury sailing charter is complete without a little silliness and merriment with friends?
Although full moon parties take place in different corners of the world, any Virgin Island yacht charter enthusiast will tell you the parties that take place in the British Virgin Islands (aka, the BVI) are some of the most renowned – celebrating both lunar madness and traditional island culture.
ROWDY PLACES IN THE BVI
The rowdiest of these takes place at Bomba’s Shack in Capoons Bay.
It may not look like much, but Bomba’s Shack is a happening bar set alongside the beach on Apple Bay, at the West End of Tortola, BVI. Each month, the legendary Full Moon Party draws loads of locals and visitors, especially luxury sailing charter passengers looking to experience real island life. Held monthly on the night of the full moon, moonlight madness spills into the street, the beach, and everything in between.
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
Enjoy live entertainment while you dance the night away, try a Bomba Punch (rum punch) or sip on a Bomba “mushroom tea.”
If you are planning a Caribbean getaway on the water, the lunacy on Tortola, BVI takes place on the following days:
August 5, 2009

November 2, 2009

Planning a yachting holiday this year? If you haven’t selected your specific dates yet, here’s a great idea. Add a little extra “pizzazz” to The Superyacht Experience™. Select your charter dates to coincide with the cycle of the full moon!
FULL MOON CHARTERING
There’s just something extra special about being anchored in a protected cove with a sea of stars above. Suddenly, a rust-colored orb begins to appear on the distant horizon. It pushes slowly into the air. As it rises, the color changes from rust to white. It glows brighter and brighter by the minute. Finally, the bright full moon ascends to its lofty place among the stars above. It casts lunar light across your superyacht’s deck. You sit with your family and friends. All mesmerized by the natural beauty of the night. Expressing gratitude to be at sea enjoying this special experience together.
To help you plan a moonlit yacht charter holiday, here is the full moon calendar for 2106. Keep in mind that you’ll have nights both before and after the full moon that will add plenty of moonlight to your adventure.

MATCH THE MOON AND DESTINATION
To maximize the opportunity for clear skies and great weather, match your full moon dates with a seasonal destination. For example, if you are considering a Florida yacht charter vacation, March and April offer warm (but not hot) weather, and minimal chances for rain. The same idea holds true for a Greek yacht charter in summertime, as August and September usually offer clear skies, fewer winds, and smooth sailing.
