Line-of-sight sailing

Islands are never more than a few miles apart: navigation is easy, even for a first bareboat charter in the Caribbean.

Sheltered waters

The Sir Francis Drake Channel is protected from the Atlantic swell: flat water, steady 15–20 knot trade winds.

Moorings everywhere

Most bays are equipped with mooring balls that can be booked: relaxed evenings, no anchoring stress.

The Baths

Giant granite boulders, grottoes and natural pools at Virgin Gorda: one of the most famous sites in the Caribbean.

Legendary beach bars

Foxy's and the Soggy Dollar at Jost Van Dyke, Willy T at Norman Island: the BVI art of living.

Huge choice of boats

Tortola is one of the largest charter bases in the world: lots of catamarans, competitive prices.
