Voyage 510 Debuts at Annapolis
VOYAGE Charters has unveiled its new Voyage 510 catamaran at the Annapolis Boat Show, introducing a smaller, Caribbean-customised option for up to eight guests. The company says the 510 combines the open, luxury design of its larger 590 model with all-inclusive packages and local crew services, with reservations for the 2026 season now open.
VOYAGE Charters has introduced the Voyage 510 at the Annapolis Boat Show, presenting a new Caribbean-customised catamaran intended for all-inclusive charters, according to a post on VIRGIN ISLANDS Magazine. The first 510 is on display at Dock H in Annapolis, and VOYAGE plans to expand the 510 fleet quickly through 2026.
Built in Cape Town and tailored for Caribbean conditions, the 510 accommodates up to eight guests and mirrors the open, airy layout that made the larger Voyage 590 popular. The design places emphasis on indoor/outdoor living with a flybridge lounge, forward and aft cockpits, and sliding glass doors from the salon — features VOYAGE describes as bringing a “penthouse” feel to the catamaran experience.
Cabins are equal in size and amenities, a benefit for groups of couples or families sharing a charter. For BVI residents and local businesses, the arrival of a new class of charter vessel has a number of likely implications. VOYAGE’s all-inclusive model — which offers three tiers of menu and bar packages and a Premium Plus option featuring a five-course tasting menu and wine pairings on multiple evenings — tends to rely on local provisioning, shore services, transport, restaurants and excursion operators.
Captains who develop close working relationships with preferred local providers can drive bookings and spend into marinas, restaurants and watersports operators across Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and other islands. VOYAGE reports that charters start at a five-night minimum, with seven nights recommended to include a stop at Anegada, making extended itineraries more likely to touch a range of BVI anchorages.
The larger Voyage 590 model can sleep 12 and is often used in flotillas for weddings, reunions or corporate retreats; combined flotillas can host up to 150 people, presenting further opportunities for local vendors. The company assigns a captain and crew before departure and offers add-ons such as watersports packages, fishing, Wi‑Fi and Nespresso machines.
VOYAGE says returning guests frequently request the same crews, underscoring the importance of experienced local suppliers and hospitality partners. Reservations for the Voyage 510 for the 2026 season are already being taken. BVI businesses and officials tracking marine tourism should note the potential increase in charter traffic and seasonal demand that a new, Caribbean-ready catamaran class may bring.
