CHARTER SET-UP:
All bareboat charter yachts are set up with linens as follows:
Each cabin is dressed for two people with two bath towels, two hand towels and two face cloths, along with one flat, one fitted sheet and two pillow cases. Explained in another way, this amounts to one bath, one hand and one wash cloth per person per week. All cabins are dressed -- ready for you when you've had enough sun, sand and water for the day! You received one set of linens per week of charter. If you charter the yacht for 14 days, you'll receive the yacht dressed for week one and a second set of linens will be on board in a mesh bag ready for switching over whenever you desire.
For those guests who are "towel snobs" (just kidding!), additional linens are available for a small rental fee. We do not place blankets on board -- yet they are available in Pro Valor Charter's office simply for the asking. Also, beach towels may be rented for $3.50/towel. Most people find that beach towels take up too much room in their suitcase and thus rent a beach towel from us -- saving more room in your suitcase or duffle bag for souvenirs.
The galley/salon area has two dish towels, two wash cloths, an oven mitt and hot pad and two floor rugs and a fully-equipped galley (dishes, silverware and pots/pans, untensils).
The yacht also has a charcoal grill (with exception Inn Harmony, The White Rose have LP grills -- we have propane for sale in our office), first aid kit, flashlight, navigation and safety equipment, cockpit bimini, cockpit cooler, dinghy/outboard (with cable and lock), ground tackle/windlass, roller furling, lazy-jack mainsails, hot/cold water systems, emergency cell phones, stereos and all necessary instrumentation. Each yacht comes with a dinghy, cable, lock and motor.
DELIVERY:
Yacht is delivered at 1:00 PM for charter or 3:00 PM when the first night is a sleep aboard. Those guests arriving before 6 PM (ish) will be greeted by staff of Pro Valor Charters at the Harbour View Marina (also known as the Wheatley Dock). We will see you to the yacht as well as give you a quick briefing to get thru the nite. Details regarding the basic layout of the area will be offered. A more detailed briefing (lasting about an hour) will be given in the morning. We start work at 8:00 AM and are ready to do the briefing just as soon as all on board are awake. That last nite of charter is not considered a sleep aboard as you will have the yacht from 1 PM the prior day to 11 AM the next. You may return to the dock early for check-out the day b4 you're flying out if you have early flight, however, it is still considered another full day of charter.
LATE-NITE ARRIVALS:
Those guests arriving late at nite will find a note on the office front door as well as welcome aboard details on the yacht. The lights will be on along with a Digicel boat phone and keys left for you for the restrooms/showers at the Harbourview Complex. Details of available restaurants will be left for you as well. We also offer to pick up a few items for your late nite arrival provided we know in advance. Common requests are: water, soda, beer, ice, snacks, cheese, etc.
NAVIGATION BROCHURES:
The nav station is set up with a VI Cruising Guide, Virgin Anchorages and a laminated BVI Cruising Guide Map along with miscellaneous maps, magazines and brochures of the BVI and USVI area.
FOR SALE:
We also sell the Cruising Guide ($31.95), Virgin Anchorages ($29.95) and Cruising Guide Laminated Map ($10.00) in our office. We also have a guitar for rental of $50.00/charter (and a security deposit of $200.00 which is returned when the guitar comes back to us in great working order). Pro Valor Charters has also wearables for sale in the office: hats, t-shirts, tanks and miscellaneous other provisioning items.
SNORKEL GEAR:
Snorkel equipment is available for your use free of charge so long as it's returned to us at the end of charter. Most guests tend to bring their own snorkel and mask and borrow the fins from us. That tends to work out best for our guests as they are able to use their own mouth pieces. We do bleach all gear upon return from charter prior the the next guests' arrival/use.
YACHT SET-UP/PROVISIONING:
All PVC charter yachts are set up as bareboats -- all provisioning is done by charter guests. Yachts are delivered with a roll of toilet paper per head, two boxes of matches and garbage bags to start you off in the bathroom and galley. All other items as needed are purchased by charter guests.
Provisioning may be done thru Rite Breeze (part of the Rite Way food chain) which is just one block from our dock. Rite Breeze is open from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM (with the exception of Sunday when they are open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM). If you'd like to order ahead of time on-line, please go to Bobby's Marketplace @ bobbysmarketplace.com. All provisioning deliveries should be scheduled at a time when you are here to receive it. Pro Valor Charters does not accept provision orders. Guests also enjoy the close proximity of Sailor's Ketch to our dock. Check out their website at sailorsketch.com. They will deliver to our dock and we will keep in the freezer until you arrive.
BRIEFING:
Charter briefings are done the morning of departure and take about one hour after your cruising, parks, VISAR and a Digicel boat phone are issued. We require all charter guests to take a boat phone as this is our means of communication with you should we incur inclement weather, have a message for you or you incur boat problems or have questions while out on charter. We do not monitor VHF. The cell phones work in the BVI only and not the USVI. Minutes from BVI to US, Canada and most of Europe are running around $.50/minute during the week and $.35/minute on weekends. You are also free to "Top Up" and add more dollars ($5.00 minimum) by calling PVC or you'll see plenty of place around the islands at grocery stores, gift shops, gas stations, etc. Digicel has created a nice presence in the BVI making Top Up easy.
ICE:
Ice (cubes only) is available for purchase at the Rite Breeze grocery store (cubes only - $4.00/bag) right next door. If both places are out of ice, we'll run to the Alphonsos' gas station down the road for you ($5.00/bag). Not to worry, we've got you covered on ice-cold drinks!!!
