SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups With 6 cabins sleeping 12, Canis Majoris is built for families or friends wanting to share costs on a proper catamaran, far better value per person than smaller vessels. The 2017 build age means modern systems without being brand new, keeping charter rates reasonable.

Comfort essentials included Air conditioning, a generator, and Wi-Fi are genuinely useful for longer trips, while the dinghy and snorkeling gear let you explore without added hire fees. The bimini and cockpit speakers make on-deck life pleasant, and autopilot takes the strain during longer passages.

Value-conscious choice At €3,000 deposit, this feels accessible for a 50-footer, and Conch Charters' perfect rating is encouraging, though note that's based on just one review, so check recent feedback carefully before committing.

One practical note: The base location isn't specified in your data, which matters enormously for international travelers flying in; contact Conch Charters directly to confirm the exact location, airport transfer time, and whether they have English-speaking staff, since these factors significantly affect your overall trip logistics and cost.

The marina & destination

Based at Fort Burt Marina, in Road Town, British Virgin Islands. Canis Majoris 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 Canis Majoris be rented with or without a skipper?
Canis Majoris can be chartered either bareboat (without a skipper) if you have the required sailing qualifications, or with a professional skipper if you prefer. A skipper is highly recommended for those unfamiliar with Caribbean conditions or catamaran handling, and Conch Charters can arrange one for an additional fee.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Canis Majoris?
For a bareboat charter of Canis Majoris, you'll need an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or equivalent proof of sailing experience recognized by Conch Charters. If you don't hold formal qualifications, chartering with a skipper is the best option, no licence required.
What's included in the charter price?
The base charter price for Canis Majoris typically includes the vessel, standard equipment, safety gear, and linens. Fuel, provisioning, mooring fees, and any water-sports equipment rentals are usually additional costs, confirm the exact inclusions with Conch Charters when you book.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
At Conch Charters' British Virgin Islands base, expect to pay for fuel (often charged on return consumption), provisioning services, mooring or marina fees, and any optional equipment like diving gear or extra water toys. A mandatory APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) or fuel surcharge may also apply, these will be detailed in your booking.
How does the security deposit work for Canis Majoris?
The refundable security deposit of €3,000 is held by Conch Charters as protection against damage and is returned after your charter ends, minus any deductibles for wear, breakage, or fuel overages. Check-out inspections happen before departure, and you'll receive a full refund within 7, 14 days if no issues are found.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel, typically, the further ahead you cancel, the better your refund. Conch Charters usually offers partial refunds up to 60 days before departure; closer to the date, penalties increase significantly. Always check your specific booking conditions.
Is Canis Majoris insured?
Yes, Canis Majoris carries comprehensive insurance through Conch Charters, though this is the vessel's damage liability only. Your security deposit covers the deductible (typically €500, €1,500 per claim), and you may want personal travel insurance to cover charter cancellation, medical emergencies, or evacuation.
What documents do I need to bring?
Bring a valid passport (with at least 6 months validity), your sailing qualifications (ICC or equivalent), travel insurance documents, and proof of payment. For crewed charters, bring your booking confirmation and ID; non-EU citizens heading to the BVI should check entry requirements well in advance.
What payment methods are accepted?
Conch Charters typically accepts bank transfers, credit cards, and online payment platforms. A deposit (often 30, 50% of the charter price) is usually required to secure your booking, with the balance due 4, 8 weeks before departure, confirm exact payment schedules and methods directly with the operator.
