DEG BVI Powerboat Charters and Water Taxi is a fast-expanding family day charter and water taxi business in the British Virgin Islands. Julian Putley, a long-time charter yacht captain and sailing instructor for over 30 years; very well-known author of the “Drinking and Eating Guide to the BVI” series, handed the reins to his son Jason Putley when the family ventured into the Charter Business.

Jason is a local citizen, fully licensed, and very customer service oriented. He has been a water sports enthusiast, leading small boat sailor, and regatta winner for the last fifteen years. It would be hard to find anyone who knows these unparalleled bodies of water, their anchorages, snorkeling sites, and points of interest better than our captain Jason. We make every trip exceptional, bespoke to the client’s needs. We proudly provide professional services in a casual setting; we have many reviews to attest to their satisfaction. We aim to always provide you, your family, and your friends with incomparable service.

Family Day out on the water I have lived in the BVI for 5 years now and had my family visiting in January. I wanted to show them my favorite spots around the BVI so we hired Jason with DEG BVI to show us around and it was an absolutely fantastic day out on the water! We had 3 stops throughout the day and felt very safe and take care of with Jason as our captain! Couldn't recommend him enough!

Best way to go between islands We flew into St Thomas and were chartering out of Tortola so needed to arrange transport. We found Jason through TripAdvisor based on the reviews and could not be happier. Jason did a great job getting us through customs going into BVI and then helping us get through easily on our return to St Thomas. This was a great way to start and end our adventure. I can not recommend Jason highly enough

Exceptional service Thank you Jason and his company for a seamless land taxi and water taxi to and from our destination in the BVI's. We had a wonderful trip and he took care of customs, and helped with our luggage and had a cooler full of cold beverages. He made our trip easier and was so responsive. He has amazing attention to detail and will use his companies' services in the future. Thank you Jason!

Awesome Experience! Our group spent the day with Capt Alex & beautiful wife Natalie island hopping, snorkeling and even jumping off the Willy T! It was amazing seeing the islands from the water. Great snorkeling! Well worth the trip! Thank you for such a great day!

My go-to boat charter company in the VI When I came down to the Virgin Islands with my friends from university, Jason went above and beyond by showing us the best the BVI has to offer all in one day! His charter experience is truly unique as he was raised in the BVI, and has loads of local knowledge that you simply can’t buy! It’s as easy as this… you simply can’t go wrong booking DEGBVI to take you to the hot spots of the British Virgin Islands. Thanks again for a great time and a lifelong memory!

Exceptional on time service Our group of friends have traveled the globe and we know how hard it is to find exceptional service....Jason at DEG Boat Charters gave us just that. Everything was such a breeze...organizing a trip for 8 gilfriends can get complicated especially factoring in island hopping across international borders. Jason communicated efficiently and was so helpful with so much other info that really helped us with trip planning. After traveling from St. John to Tortola with him we tried to get him for another excursion but it was last minute and he was already booked. Def reserve and book him first thing! Will def be using his services when we are back!!

Island Hopping in style what a treat Captain Jason was a pleasure to spend the day with. He was very knowledgeable about all the places we had visited and made sure our ride was as comfortable as possible. We were picked up at our desired location and dropped right bay off in time. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Hope to see you guys at DEG BVI Powerboat Charters soon.
