A Fresh Look, Same Trusted Service: Avanta Yacht Charters

After over a decade of serving our cherished clients under the name Yacht Charters Guru, we’re pleased to share that we’ve introduced a new brand identity: Avanta Yacht Charters – a fresh name with the same impeccable service you’ve come to know and trust.
We’ll continue to operate under both names, and yes, we are still proudly www.YachtCharters.Guru. But as the digital landscape has evolved, so have we. While the ".guru" extension was innovative when we began, it’s presented ongoing challenges in today’s SEO-driven world. It was time for a polished update.
That’s why we’ve added www.AvantaYachtCharters.com to reflect a more timeless, refined presence online.
Why "Avanta"? Avanta Yacht Charters
The name Avanta evokes a sense of advantage and avant-garde—forward-thinking, elevated, and distinct. Most importantly, it sets us apart in a crowded market and brings us to the top of the list—quite literally.
Whether you visit us at Yacht Charters Guru or Avanta Yacht Charters, you’ll continue to receive:
The same expert guidance
The same carefully curated fleet
The same professionally licensed, safety-minded crews
And the same unforgettable yacht charter experiences in the British Virgin Islands and beyond
How We Help Alleviate the Most Common Travel Worries:
— from first-timers to seasoned travelers seeking more personalized experiences:
1. Total Privacy and Exclusivity
Worry addressed: Crowds, lack of personal space, and generic vacation experiences
Advantage: You’re not sharing your vacation with strangers. A private yacht charter is exclusively yours, offering a peaceful, luxurious escape without the crowds of cruise ships or resorts.
2. All-Inclusive, Stress-Free Experience
Worry addressed: Trip planning logistics, hidden costs, and decision fatigue Advantage: From meals and activities to itinerary planning and daily housekeeping, everything is handled by the crew. It’s a turn-key experience with no daily decision-making stress.
3. Personalized Itinerary
Worry addressed: Being stuck on rigid schedules or missing out on local highlights
Advantage: Your charter is completely tailored. You can explore hidden coves, adjust your route, or linger longer at your favorite destinations — it’s all flexible and customized to your pace and preferences.
4. Professional, Discreet Crew
Worry addressed: Service quality, safety, and not knowing how things work onboard
Advantage: A professional crew includes a captain, chef, and often a steward(ess) who are highly trained, discreet, and attuned to luxury service. They handle everything, allowing guests to relax without lifting a finger.
5. Gourmet Dining, Customized to You
Worry addressed: Picky eaters, dietary needs, or lackluster resort food
Advantage: Your onboard chef crafts gourmet meals based on your tastes, dietary restrictions, and favorite cuisines — prepared fresh daily and served in stunning oceanfront settings.
6. Seamless Safety and Security
Worry addressed: Open-water safety, navigation, or emergency concerns
Advantage: Your captain is a licensed maritime professional who monitors weather, navigates safely, and ensures the vessel meets all regulatory standards. Safety equipment and briefings are provided onboard.
7. Water Sports & Adventures at Your Fingertips
Worry addressed: Finding activities or equipment during vacation
Advantage: Most crewed yachts come with a full “toy box” — paddleboards, snorkeling gear, sea bobs, kayaks, and sometimes jet skis or diving equipment — no rentals or lines required.
8. Luxury Without the Overwhelm
Worry addressed: Feeling out of place in a luxury setting or intimidated by the unknown
Advantage: A crewed yacht offers barefoot luxury. You’re in a relaxed, comfortable environment where the crew anticipates your needs and ensures you feel at home — never out of place.
9. Ideal for Families or Groups
Worry addressed: Keeping everyone entertained and happy
Advantage: There’s something for everyone — kids love the water toys and exploring new places, adults enjoy fine dining and tranquility, and the whole group stays together without splitting up for hotel rooms or activities.
10. Unmatched Scenery & Serenity
Worry addressed: Overcrowded destinations and noisy accommodations
Advantage: Wake up to a new view every day — quiet bays, turquoise waters, starlit skies. The yacht moves with you, offering front-row seats to the best scenery on earth.

About Us:
-Your Charter Yacht Vacation Expert & Concierge!
CYBA Recognized Yacht Charter Brokers:
If you want to experience a luxury yacht charter vacation first hand and up close, there is no better way than on your own privately crewed yacht with a full-time professional Captain and Chef/First Mate. We've been sailing and chartering for well over thirty years.
How We Got Started:
The U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands were our "backyard" which we came to love and cherish. So much so, that we sold everything in 1997, became a USCG licensed Captain and moved to Charlotte Amalie, USVI as owners & operators aboard the 72' sailing yacht. We do know the ins and outs of this special place & the people who live there. That's what makes us an official "Yacht Charters Guru”!
Never been on a chartered yacht vacation? We will help you personally design your charter yacht vacation in the Caribbean or Mediterranean! Imagine being able to sail into small bays with beautiful white sands & fantastic snorkeling. A yacht vacation is a great way to spend quality time with your friends or family!
Why use a CYBA Accredited Yacht Charter Broker?
When It’s Your Dream Trip, “Good Enough” Isn’t Good Enough! You've worked hard. Now you want something exceptional. But planning a private yacht charter can quickly get overwhelming:
There are dozens of yachts, but which ones are legit? Does the charter contracts seem vague or risky? No idea who to trust—or what it’s really like onboard?
"You're not just booking a boat. You’re investing in memories. And you deserve to feel confident every step of the way."
BE SAVVY:
Is Your Charter Contract Real or Fake?
As a member of CYBA, the Charter Yacht Broker’s Association, we adhere to strict yacht charter booking protocols. We have access to the CYBA industry escrow account and E-Contract to protect your money. This is made available by CYBA for electronic use only by established, industry recognized and reputable Yacht Charter Brokers with a verifiable contract number at CYBA.net
Charter yacht owners, their hired crews and travel agents do not have access to this account. Check your contract verifcation number at CYBA.net
We have time to answer ALL your questions. If the crew are taking care of guests onboard, they honestly do not have time to answer a lot of questions.
This is what differentiates professional CYBA yacht charter brokers from anyone else trying to book a charter vacation.
Very Important! It is not safe to send your hard-earned money directly to a business or yacht that is not accredited by a professional charter industry association to handle yacht charter client funds. Always ask & verify!
We frequently receive compliments on how we've arranged our site, making it easy to see yachts within your price range. Choose from an extensive list of hand-picked yachts on our site that we have personally chosen to represent, including our spacious and stable catamaran charters, power catamarans, traditional monohull sailboat vacations, or high-end luxury motor yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Belize, Croatia. Greece, and the Mediterranean.
Avanta Yacht Charters Guru Does Not Sell Yachts like many other agencies so there is no conflict or distraction in our focus for your yacht charter. Our service is free to you. We travel extensively to boat shows and yacht charter shows worldwide year-round to personally view and inspect as many of the charter yachts and the crews as possible.
Avanta Yacht Charters | Yacht Charters Guru is Proudly Recognized by These Professional Associations!
