Back in 2022, I did something spontaneous: I booked a last-minute, week-long liveaboard catamaran adventure in the British Virgin Islands (BVIs) to celebrate my birthday. And let me tell you—it was magic. Picture this: six guests (all amazing women!), a super chill captain, and a fully staffed, fully stocked luxury catamaran with air-conditioned staterooms and private bathrooms.

It was over Valentine’s/Galentine’s week, and the experience was so much more than I ever expected. I splurged on a private room just for me, and honestly? Worth. Every. Penny.

We snorkeled every single day. I’d dive right off the boat and swim to shore like I was born to live in the sea. I even learned to sail. One night, the crew surprised me with a birthday celebration at a rum bar on a remote island. Yes—snorkeling and rum? Heaven.

I’d been to the BVIs before, but never like this. The intimacy of the boat, the freedom to explore secluded coves, the laughter under the stars—it was the kind of trip I wish I could do again and again.

Unfortunately, that specific tour stopped running. I was crushed when I found out I couldn’t rebook it. But then… I found something even better.

Ventana Travel offers a Luxury Nature Catamaran trip that delivers exactly what I’ve been craving: a fully crewed, luxurious catamaran complete with air-conditioned suites, private bathrooms, chef-prepared meals, and a full itinerary of nature-focused activities like snorkeling, hiking, and wildlife encounters.

They’ve brought back the spirit of that unforgettable trip—and then some. This isn’t just a boat charter. It’s a curated experience designed for people who want more than just a vacation—they want adventure, connection, and comfort on the water.

If you’re dreaming of waking up to the sea breeze, diving into turquoise water, and ending your day with a cocktail in hand under the stars—check out their Luxury Nature Catamaran trip.

I can’t wait to book again. Maybe I’ll see you out there on the water!
