EMYSA Yacht Charter in the British Virgin Islands
Welcome aboard EMYSA, pronounced “EM-SA,” an award-winning 58-foot Leopard catamaran offering crewed yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands.
Built in 2019, EMYSA combines contemporary design, barefoot luxury, and generous indoor-outdoor living. She received First Place for Best in Show in the 51–60-foot category at the 2023 VIPCA Charter Yacht Show, recognizing her style, amenities, and overall guest experience.
EMYSA accommodates up to six guests in three spacious queen cabins and is supported by a professional crew of two. She is an excellent choice for families, couples, and small groups seeking a personalized BVI yacht charter with relaxation, cuisine, water sports, and scuba diving.
Seasonal Power and Sailing Operation
EMYSA normally operates as a sailing catamaran. From April through October 2026, she will operate as a power catamaran before returning to sailing-catamaran operations for the winter 2026–2027 season.
This seasonal arrangement should be considered when choosing charter dates, particularly for guests seeking a sailing-focused experience.
Contemporary Island Living
EMYSA’s panoramic salon creates a bright and inviting interior with uninterrupted views of the surrounding islands. Full air conditioning provides comfort throughout the yacht, while Starlink Wi-Fi, satellite television, a Bluetooth sound system, device connectivity, and a selection of board and card games provide entertainment between adventures.
Outdoor living is central to the EMYSA experience. Guests can enjoy alfresco dining in the cockpit, unwind on the foredeck, or take in panoramic views from the 360-degree flybridge. The flybridge is an ideal setting for relaxed afternoons and champagne sunsets, while the foredeck offers space for sunbathing and stargazing.
Additional amenities include a barbecue, specialty pizza oven, propane fire pit, salon television, deck shower, hairdryers, guest robes and slippers, and a guitar for informal evenings aboard.
Three Queen Guest Cabins
EMYSA welcomes up to six guests in three queen cabins. The accommodation comprises two spacious guest cabins and a larger primary suite.
The primary suite includes its own private coffee station and television, providing a comfortable retreat for relaxed mornings or quiet evenings. All cabins are air-conditioned and designed with modern finishes, generous storage, and abundant natural light.
The professional crew of two occupies separate accommodations, allowing them to provide attentive service while preserving guest privacy.
Personalized Dining and Bar Service
EMYSA’s onboard dining experience is tailored to the preferences of each charter group. Guests can enjoy a fully customizable menu, while special dietary requirements can be accommodated. Kosher catering is not listed as available.
A curated bar can be stocked according to guest preferences, and the yacht’s specialty pizza oven adds a relaxed and interactive option to the culinary experience.

Fishing is subject to local regulations and requires the appropriate permit for each charter. Water-toy availability and use remain subject to operating conditions, equipment serviceability, and the captain’s discretion.
Scuba Diving aboard EMYSA
Scuba diving is available for up to four guests under the supervision of an instructor. EMYSA does not carry its own tanks, regulators, buoyancy compensators, weights, or onboard air compressor, so guests must bring their equipment or arrange rentals through a local dive shop.
For certified divers, the following dives are included:
Up to three dives on a seven-night charter
Up to two dives on a five- or six-night charter
One dive on a four-night charter
Diving is not offered on the first or final day of the charter. All dives depend on the itinerary, weather, sea conditions, participant experience, and the captain’s discretion. Night dives are not listed as available.
Explore the British Virgin Islands
EMYSA is based at Village Cay Marina in the British Virgin Islands. Other embarkation locations may be available by prior inquiry.
Guests can explore sheltered bays, white-sand beaches, colourful reefs, and relaxed island communities while enjoying the freedom of a private crewed catamaran. EMYSA has a listed cruising speed of approximately six knots.
Every itinerary is subject to weather, sea conditions, seasonal operating configuration, and the captain’s approval.
Thoughtful and Environmentally Conscious Details
EMYSA uses solar panels and provides eco-friendly toiletries for guest use. The yacht avoids purchasing single-use plastic water bottles and supplies reusable bottles to help reduce unnecessary waste during each charter.
Communications equipment includes Starlink Wi-Fi, a boat phone, and VHF radio.
Personalized Crewed Service
A professional crew of two provides personalized service throughout each EMYSA yacht charter.
