A small boat company with the whole BVI to play with.
Antilles Powerboats runs private day tours out of West End, Tortola. Captain Phil at the helm, Rosie on the bookings, and one fast, comfortable boat.
Meet your captain
Captain Phil knows where to be, and when.
Phil is a licensed, fully insured captain who has spent years running these channels. He knows which bay is calm when the wind swings north, where the turtles feed at Norman Island and how to time The Baths so you get the boulders without the crowd.
He also tells the pirate stories and the local history along the way, because the islands are worth more than the postcard. Ask him anything. The only fixed part of the day is that you decide how it goes.
The boat
A Novurania 31 Chase, built for these islands.
NautiGal is a 31-foot Novurania Chase RIB: fast enough to make Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke in one day, soft enough in a chop that you arrive comfortable. Shade, seating for 12, a six-speaker Bluetooth stereo, an iced cooler and snorkel gear for everyone aboard.

The experience
Private, relaxed and entirely yours.
The whole boat is yours for the day. There is no set timetable, no other group and no queue for the ladder. If the snorkelling is good you stay in it, and if the beach bar is better you stay there.
We bring the drinks, the snorkel gear, the permits and the local knowledge. You bring swimwear, sunscreen and whatever music you want on the stereo.
Services
Beyond the six tours.
We also run custom routes and cruise ship half days, and we can collect you from West End, Nanny Cay or Village Cay Marina in Road Town at no extra cost, or from Jost Van Dyke, Scrub Island or Virgin Gorda for a surcharge. If you have a day in mind that is not on this site, tell us and we will price it.
