MarineMax Vacations has been delivering outstanding charter vacations in the British Virgin Islands with the newest and most exceptional fleet in the market since its introduction in October 2011.  Operating from its beautiful base in Tortola, the year has been one of accelerated growth through its fleet additions of sailboats, power cats and the building of a custom 46 power catamaran to be introduced in January 2013.

The past year has also included the addition of the Yacht Ownership Program to the Vacations Yacht Charter Division.  Both sail and power yachts are available in the Ownership Program.
