British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands, a sailing and yachting hub built around Tortola and Virgin Gorda, is a British Overseas Territory requiring a valid passport for all visitors. Terrance B. Lettsome International (Beef Island, EIS) on Tortola is the main gateway; its runway limits it to smaller jets, so many larger-aircraft clients route through San Juan or St. Thomas and finish by boat. Hogani Jets coordinates BVI charters from $9,000+ one way.

The BVI's appeal is largely about what happens after you land: chartering a yacht through the islands, or reaching a private resort like Necker Island. A private jet gets a group there together and on their own schedule, which matters given how limited scheduled commercial service into Tortola actually is.

Destination	Best For
Tortola	The main gateway and the BVI's commercial and government center
Virgin Gorda	The Baths, and a quieter, more resort-oriented island reached by ferry or connecting flight
Necker Island	Richard Branson's private island resort, reached by boat from Tortola or Virgin Gorda
Jost Van Dyke	A small, laid-back island known for its beach bars, reached by boat

Tortola's runway accommodates turboprops through light jets directly. For midsize jets and larger, or for the most direct routing, many clients fly into San Juan or St. Thomas and complete the trip by boat, particularly for Virgin Gorda or Necker Island. Hogani Jets confirms the best routing for your specific aircraft and destination.

Hogani Jets coordinates each charter through licensed Part 135 or applicable international operators.
