Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina Named New BVI Homeport for PYPER Yachts
Luxury charter company expands Caribbean presence with November 2025 debut
SCRUB ISLAND, British Virgin Islands (Oct. 2, 2025) – Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina will become the official British Virgin Islands homeport for PYPER Yachts beginning November 2025, adding one of the Caribbean’s premier private-island resorts to the company’s growing network of luxury bases.
Departing from Scrub Island’s 55-slip marina, the PYPER fleet will offer fully crewed charters for up to 10 guests, pairing custom itineraries with the highest levels of service. Each voyage features a professional captain and private chef, with larger yachts including additional crew to ensure an uncompromising experience. Charters are available for a minimum of four nights, with most spanning a full week of sailing across the British Virgin Islands.
“Scrub Island Resort and its world-class marina are the perfect launchpad for our fleet,” said Heinrych Pyper, CEO of PYPER Yachts. “We specialize in creating immersive sailing journeys that deliver the comfort of a private villa, the service of a boutique resort, and the freedom of the open sea. This new homeport allows us to bring our signature style of yacht charter to one of the world’s most desirable cruising grounds.”
The move marks a major milestone in PYPER’s expansion, complementing existing bases in Yacht Haven Grande (U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canouan (St. Vincent & the Grenadines). With Scrub Island as its BVI hub, PYPER strengthens its regional presence and makes it even easier for travelers to embark on luxury charters throughout the Caribbean.
Tucked along a rugged cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and neighboring islands, Scrub Island Resort has been a serene haven for travelers since 2010. The resort features 52 luxury accommodations, expansive villas ranging from two- to six-bedrooms, two private beaches, a waterfront infinity pool, the intimate Ixora Spa, diverse dining options, and a 55-slip full-service marina welcoming yachts up to 160 feet. Guests arriving via Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) enjoy a seamless transfer with the resort’s complimentary private water taxi from Tortola.
