The Jeanneau 54 ‘Paradise Found’ available for BVI yacht charter is a stunning, 54′ luxury yacht designed by Jacques Fauroux and Vittorio Garroni as the flagship of the Jeanneau range. This beautiful, spacious, air-conditioned yacht offers all the extras and amenities that one would expect of a quality luxury yacht. This design, by Philippe Briand, is easily sailed short-handed with roller mainsail and genoa, and with new Quantum sails, she will truck past pretty much any other bareboat in the BVI, one hull or two. Book now and see how she lives up to her name.
Her flexible sleeping arrangement provides the ability to sleep 8 in 3 double cabins and a skipper’s cabin. The arrangements include:
- 3 Cabins, one being a twin & 3 Electric Heads
- Bow Cabin with a Single Bunk & Toilet
The look and feel of an elegant lounge in the salon combine with a spaciousness that cannot be found on other yachts of comparable sizes. Many creature comforts are offered to guests – a complete list is provided below. Guests have the option of dining inside or al fresco around the large table in the cockpit. There is also convenient walk-through access to the transom when at anchor. There is optimum performance on the seas because the Jeanneau 54 is designed accordingly. From your preferred steering station, she has twin helms affording great visibility forward under sail, and convenient walk-through access to the transom when at anchor) the furling main and electric winches throughout allow for single-handed management of the sails. The bow thruster and state-of-the-art steering enable this 54-footer to be handled as if she were a yacht half her size.
If you would like to experience the comforts of a Jeanneau 54 and don’t have the necessary experience, this yacht is also available to you as a captained yacht (there is a bunk cabin available for a skipper). Add a captain and/or chef to your charter of this beautiful yacht, and make your experience even more luxurious. The captain will guide you around the islands so you can sit back and relax, and do as little (or as much) sailing as you wish, and our amazing chefs will provide you with gourmet cuisine, so you can leave the shopping, prep, and clean up and enjoy your vacation time to the fullest.

David Haddon, 5-15 May '24Great job!!!
Robert Bollard, 9-16 March '24OUTSTANDING!
Jonathan Horvath, Dave Polakoff & Mathieu Gombault, 3-10 February '24Dear Horizon Friends,
Thank you for another successful and delightful Horizon Yacht charter and Horizon ASA school experience. From start to finish, our interaction with you was professional, friendly, courteous, efficient, and fun. We are so glad we returned to Horizon for 2024 and look forward to continuing to do so.
Please extend our appreciation and gratitude to ALL staff, on the water and behind the desks, who contributed to our wonderful experience.
If only we would visit you more often (SMILE!).
If anyone is passing through New York City during the 2024 sailing season, please let us know, so we can hope to get you on the water and return the hospitality.
Best,
Jonathan, Dave & Mathieu
Jonathan Horvath and Dave Polakoff, BVI Feb 2023Thank you for a wonderful experience, (February 4-11, 2023), our first, with Horizon. Everyone’s friendliness and courtesy were so appreciated. From our first contact with Christalen to our last day, farewell with Sandra and Courtney, we could not be happier with the experience. Please also extend our appreciation to John, Henry, Vijay, Will, Kieran, Cara, the gents at the fuel dock, and everyone else who worked so hard behind the scenes to make our experience easy and delightful.
One key differentiator, beyond everyone’s exceptional efforts to accommodate our requests and needs, from our experience with other BVI charter companies, was knowing, in advance, which boats we would be utilizing. This allowed us to hit the ground running upon arrival, thanks to each boat’s excellent Horizon-produced manual and video, as well as fine-tune our planning and manage the expectations of our fellow sailboat guests.
We look forward to recommending Horizon to others, returning to Horizon in the future, and continuing our newly formed friendships in the interim.
Thank you so very much, Horizon friends.
Brian McEwing , BVI May 2023I switched from using the Moorings several years ago and I can honestly say that I love your operation. The location being at Nanny Cay is excellent, your boats are much better maintained and better optioned. Your staff is always friendly and helpful. I’m sure I will continue to use Horizon for future charters and am already considering Grenada next year.
Dr. Rocco Detomo, Jr., BVI October 2023I just finished a Horizon Charter in the BVI from Nanny Cay, (“Paradise Found”)
I want to emphasize that the entire Horizon Staff at Nanny Cay were very responsive and professional, and I very much enjoyed working with this group of people and look forward to working with them again in the future!

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers
Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.
*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.
Current Rates
Weekly rates (full 7 days / 6 nights) are listed above as daily rates. Charters start and finish at noon. Our minimum charter duration requirement is 5 nights.

Super Size your Dinghy
Why not upgrade your yacht tender during your sailing vacation? Get the crew ashore in style and explore more with an upgraded tender. Only $300 per day. Find out more here.
Super Tender your Vacation with Horizon Yacht Charters!
Licensed for 6 persons, this 15ft RIB with 60HP Yamaha outboard will get you and your crew to snorkelling spots and the beach in style and comfort.
Make your charter yacht vacation a breeze – enjoy the comfort of being able to tie up your yacht for the night and then continue exploring the surrounding bays! You can pick up your mooring ball at the Bight and then head to the Indians or the Caves for a snorkel. If you visit the Dogs, there’s no need to choose only one snorkel spot for your lunch stop, zip around them all! A swim ladder makes boarding easy from the water.
For popular spots where it’s trickier to find a mooring, the RIB is the perfect alternative. Settle into Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke for the night and then take the RIB to White Bay for the afternoon to enjoy painkillers without the hassle of finding a mooring ball or having to move your yacht for the night.
The North Sound boasts a selection of some of the best dining options in the BVI. There’s no need to settle for only one spot when you have the RIB. Pick up provisions from Leverick Bay, enjoy the plunge pool at Nova in Deep Bay, and then zip back to the sound for sundowners at Saba Rock before enjoying dinner at The Bitter End.
If you have a mix of snorkelers, beachgoers, shoppers and sailors onboard then give your group flexibility by taking the standard dinghy included in your charter as well. This will also remove the need to make multiple dinghy trips ashore for larger groups.
Get more out of your sailing vacation with Horizon- ‘Super Tender’ it!
Please note that the Super Tender is towed as it is too large for davits and tenderlifts. You can choose to take your 10ft Rib as well on catamarans (stored on the davits or tenderlift), or leave it behind. On monohulls we recommend just taking the Super Tender.
Contact our reservations team for more information. Exclusively available only to Horizon Charter guests.
