SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups Anila suits families and friend groups of 4, 6 people really well, especially those who value comfort and space on the water. The three-cabin Helia 44 catamaran layout gives everyone their own berth without feeling cramped, which matters on longer charters.

Smart, well-equipped catamaran This boat punches above its weight with solar panels, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a full snorkeling kit already included, no rental fees or hassle. The catamaran hull means excellent stability and a spacious saloon, ideal if anyone's nervous about sailing or seasickness.

Strong value proposition At €3,000 deposit for a 2018 catamaran with this gear list, you're looking at competitive pricing for the Caribbean or Mediterranean. The 5-star rating from Conch Charters is encouraging, though it's based on just one review, worth checking recent feedback directly with them.

One realistic note Without knowing the charter base location, I can't comment on flight connections or transfer times from major airports, which matter when you're flying transatlantic. Before booking, confirm the base location and how easily you can connect from your nearest hub.

The marina & destination

Based at Fort Burt Marina, in Road Town, British Virgin Islands. Anila is operated by Conch Charters.

Waterfront drive

Why this is a great starting point

Fort Burt Marina sits in Road Town's protected harbour, offering straightforward access to the Sir Francis Drake Channel and the smaller islands of the BVI archipelago. Week 1 charters typically explore Tortola's south coast, the Fallen Jerusalem anchorages, and reach across to Virgin Gorda within easy day-sail distances; consistent easterly trades make passages short and reliable. The marina's central location means you avoid lengthy motoring on arrival and can begin cruising immediately after provisioning.

Frequently asked questions
Can Anila be rented with or without a skipper?
Anila can be chartered both bareboat (without skipper) or with a professional skipper if you prefer, Conch Charters will confirm availability when you book. A skipper is ideal if you're not confident navigating the BVI or want to relax and enjoy the islands worry-free.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Anila?
For a bareboat charter of Anila, you'll typically need to demonstrate sailing experience equivalent to RYA Day Skipper or similar (or provide references); Conch Charters will assess your credentials at booking. If you hire a skipper, no licence is required.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter price for Anila includes the catamaran, mooring or anchoring, basic equipment (sails, rigging, navigation gear), and galley equipment; fuel, provisioning, and crewed services are typically extra. Confirm the exact inventory with Conch Charters when you enquire, as inclusions can vary by season.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Expect to pay for fuel, provisions, mooring fees (if required by your itinerary), water sports equipment hire, and any skippers or crew at Conch Charters' British Virgin Islands base. You'll also cover your own travel to the BVI and any local taxes, Conch Charters will detail these at quote.
How does the security deposit work for Anila?
Anila requires a €3,000 refundable security deposit, held by Conch Charters to cover accidental damage or loss during your charter. It's returned in full after checkout if there are no claims, typically within 5, 10 business days of your return.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you book and Conch Charters' policy; most brokers offer free cancellation 60+ days ahead, partial refunds 30, 60 days out, and no refund within 30 days. Check the exact terms when you book, travel insurance is recommended for long-haul trips from Europe or the US.
Is Anila insured?
