Tortola Boat Tours & Charters
Scheduled group day trips and private charters, departing right from Tortola.
Tortola Tours runs scheduled day trips and private Tortola boat charters throughout the British Virgin Islands, with pickups from Penn's Landing Marina (our home base), Little Dix Bay and Peter Island. Every vessel in our fleet — including the 60-foot Papi Chulo and the 30-foot Mami Chula — is owned and operated by us, not a broker, so you're booking directly with the crew who runs the trip. Whether you want a set-schedule group excursion or a private charter built around your own group, we can put you on the water.
Our Tortola BVI tours cover the destinations people come to the islands for: Jost Van Dyke and Sandy Spit, Norman Island and the Willy T, The Baths on Virgin Gorda, North Sound, and a dedicated ferry run to Cooper Island for $50 per person round trip. Papi Chulo carries up to 30 passengers on scheduled and private charters for large groups; Mami Chula is built for smaller groups of up to 6 people.
