2021 Fall Charter Yacht Show
We cannot wait to see everyone in person again. Our show dates for 2021 are Wednesday November 3rd to Saturday November 6th (until noon). Our host marina is Nanny Cay Resort and Marina.
BOATS AND CREWS IN THE BVI: Nanny Cay is offering a discounted rate of $1.50/ft per day effective between October 31st - November 8th. See details below in General Information for Yachts on Docks
CREWS ELSEWHERE: Our virtual shows were so successful we are considering offering a virtual component. Stay tuned for more information on this as details and logistics are yet to be worked out.
WHO CAN SIGN UP: The show is open to all term charter crewed yachts. You do not need to be CYS member to attend, although members do enjoy year round benefits as well as a discounted show.
NEW! ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP for non BVI based charter yachts. It is affordable and it is easy. You can join at the same time as registering for the show. Check out our Member Benefits page. Prices for show registration and membership are detailed below under YACHT REGISTRATION
BROKERS: We are looking forward to hosting you in person in the beautiful BVI. Whilst it is our hope borders will be wide open, it would be premature of us to state there will be no travel protocols. We simply ask you to stay tuned to ensure you have the latest on that which is required (if anything) to enter the BVI. As of June 1, fully vaccinated visitors must enter with a negative PCR test and produce a negative Day 0 test.
VENDORS: Our business expo affords captains, chefs and brokers the once a year opportunity to meet, in person, representatives of local businesses which offer quality products and services that ensure guests have the experience of a lifetime. Our expo will take place on November 3rd.
As the Sailing Capital of the World our waters remain azure blue and an average temperature of 80 degrees farenheit. The trade winds blow predictably and steadily year round. So much has changed over the past 18 months but our destination has not.

SPECIAL SHOW RATES!
Whilst dockage, electricity and water are NOT covered in your registration fees Nanny Cay is offering a discounted rate of $1.50/foot per day from October 31st to November 8th. Before entering the marina, be sure to call to confirm your approach. Once secured in your slip go to the marina office to sign in.
ARRIVAL and DEPARTURE dates on your profile are critical to placement on the docks. If you are uncertain, make your best guess and go back to change them at a later date. NOTE: Without dates your yacht will not show up on the list of Registered Yachts nor will we be notified of your registration.
IMPORTANT! If you are arriving from outside the BVI, DO NOT enter the marina without first clearing Customs and Immigration.
REGISTRATION FEES can be found below.

New Brokers: In order, to get the most out of the charter yacht show we require ALL new brokers complete the New Broker Online Course presented by CYBA (Charter Yacht Broker Association).
The course is designed to give you a thorough knowledge of the yacht charter business, and provide a resource for you to refer back to for guidance as your career evolves.” Are you former or soon-to-be former crew? Many of the same have completed the course ahead of you and admit they learnt much more than they thought they would.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE: regardless of the location of our show, our environmental consciousness remains the same. We discourage the distribution of disposable water bottles at our shows. Brokers are encouraged to pack your favourite reusable bottle and we will ensure it never runs dry.
As a non-profit organization we try to minimize extra fees wherever possible therefore we prefer payment by cheque, especially from CYS members. Of course, where necessary we will accept credit cards (VISA/MASTERCARD).
