The Ritz Carlton operates luxury cruises to various global destinations, including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and Central America. As part of the Marriott International Bonvoy program, booking a cruise with The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection promises an extraordinary vacation aboard their opulent super yachts. These super yachts are essentially floating Ritz-Carlton hotels or a 5 star floating luxury hotel and cruise line.

Distinguishing themselves as a new player in the industry, The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection boasts brand-new ships designed to accommodate a more intimate number of guests compared to the colossal super-liners. This intimate setting sets the stage for an upscale, high-end experience at sea. Currently, they operate two ships, the Evrima and Ilma, with the Luminara scheduled for its maiden voyage in 2024.

The allure of the Caribbean and the British Virgin Islands (BVI) as a destination is undeniable, providing an enticing incentive for guests to venture beyond the deck loungers and explore the rich offerings of the BVI.

Upon your arrival on Tortola with The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection, Chillout Charters is conveniently situated just moments away with our pick up point located at Village Cay Marina "A" Dock, which is a mere five-minute walk from the cruise ship.

Our array of services in the BVI caters to diverse preferences, ranging from Full-Day and Half-Day charter boat tours, to convenient water taxi services and transfers to/from the US Virgin Islands (USVI).

National Park Exploration:

For those seeking a deeper connection with nature, our national park tours are an ideal choice. The BVI is home to some exceptional national parks, each offering its own distinctive natural beauty.

Whether you seek serenity in the Baths or wish to explore the wonders of VG, our national parks hold unforgettable experiences for all.

After spending some time on the cruise ship and perhaps growing a bit weary of your signature suite, the observation lounge, or the pool house, the desire for a quiet escape becomes quite appealing. In such moments, the BVI offers a sanctuary of pristine white sand beaches, each with its unique charm.

For those yearning for solitude, several of these beaches are delightfully secluded, providing a peaceful haven where you can bask in the serenity of the open air, away from the crowds. If you're in search of a more vibrant atmosphere, other BVI beaches beckon with enticing beach bars, exhilarating water sports facilities, and tempting restaurants. Here, you can savor thrills, excitement, Caribbean cocktails, and delectable cuisine, all set against the backdrop of the breathtaking shoreline.

And when the day's adventures draw to a close, rest assured that we'll ensure you return to your cruise ship in a timely manner, leaving you with cherished memories of your unforgettable BVI experience.
