Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada: the BVI are often called the sailing capital of the world. Short hops between islands always within sight, protected waters of the Sir Francis Drake Channel, mooring balls in every bay and legendary beach bars make it the easiest and most rewarding catamaran cruise in the Caribbean.

Advice from hands-on experience

7d/wk

Here for you, even during your cruise

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.

Your one-week itinerary in the BVI

Road Town or Nanny Cay (Tortola)
Boarding, provisioning and briefing. First short leg to Norman Island, the island said to have inspired Treasure Island.
Norman Island & the Caves
Snorkel the famous Caves at Treasure Point, swim with tropical fish over the reefs, evening in The Bight.
Peter Island & Cooper Island
Quiet bays with palm trees, then Cooper Island Beach Club and a dive on the RMS Rhone wreck nearby, one of the best wreck dives in the Caribbean.
Virgin Gorda & The Baths
Arrive early morning to explore the granite boulders and natural pools before the crowds, then anchor in Spanish Town.
North Sound
A large protected lagoon at the tip of Virgin Gorda, perfect for kitesurfing, paddleboarding and dinner at Saba Rock.
Anegada
A flat coral island with endless white beaches, flamingos and the famous Anegada lobster: careful navigation over the reef, but an unforgettable day.
Jost Van Dyke
White Bay and its Soggy Dollar Bar, Great Harbour and Foxy's, Sandy Spit for the postcard picture.
Cane Garden Bay & back to Tortola
A last swim in the beautiful bay of Cane Garden on the north coast before returning to base.

What will I receive after my enquiry?
