Itinerary for BVI Yacht Charters

Day 1: Join your charter yacht in Soper’s Hole, Tortola and set sail for an easy reach to the Bight at Norman Island. Enjoy a tropical lunch and then dinghy to the caves for a snorkel. Have an evening cocktail at the famous "William Thornton," a floating bar and restaurant. Overnight.

Day 2: Wake early and leave for "The Indians" for an early morning swim or snorkel and continue to "Deadman’s Bay", Peter Island, for lunch. Then, sail to Salt Island, where certified divers will want to explore the "Wreck of the Rhone", which was lost in an 1867 hurricane. Then, it’s a short sail to Cooper Island to overnight.

Day 3: Make your way towards "The Baths" on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda where huge boulders mass together along the shoreline. Large caves and walkways with magnificent rock pools take you through to Devil’s Bay. Sail up to the North Sound to the home of the Bitter End Yacht Club. It’s a short dingy ride to Eustatia Reef for a snorkel where the seabed is littered with old cannons and anchors from galleons wrecked on the reef in years gone by.

Day 4: Sail to Great Camanoe Island. Take a short walk through the huge aloe plants to Cam Bay and see lizards and hermit crabs. The snorkeling here is excellent, with schools of colorful tropical fish and a variety of coral. At sunset, sail to Cane Garden Bay on the northern side of Tortola and enjoy live music in one of the many beach bars.

Day 5: After breakfast sail over to Green Cay for snorkeling off Sandy Spit. This is a tiny, tropical, sandy island - a must see! Move onto Jost van Dyke in the afternoon and anchor in Great Harbor. Visit Foxy's Bar to meet the world famous Foxy, who often plays Calypso music for his guests.

Day 6: Awake for a swim in White Bay. Then, set sail for West End, Tortola, the home port of Pussers Rum. Ashore is a cluster of fanciful pastel West Indian buildings, known as Sopers Hole Wharf. This houses some terrific boutiques and craft shops including Pussers Landing Restaurant and Company Store. Around the anchorage is a mix of old classic brigantines, square-riggers and modern sailing boats. Overnight.

Day 7: Disembark at Soper’s Hole, West End to complete your BVI yacht charter.

Exceptional Yacht Charters in the BVI

Today, the BVI (British Virgin Islands) are as popular with yachties as they once were with the Caribbean pirates of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and for many of the same reasons. Sailors are spoilt by the vast choice of hidden bays and sheltered coves and with safe anchorages and, with most places only accessible from the sea, a yacht is essential. The BVI's tiny population of 19,000 is spread around only 15 of the islands, leaving the rest uninhabited and untouched by industry. A coral island which lies about 15 miles to the north east of the main archipelago, the rest were once volcanic; the result is a varied and often dramatic landscape with many unusual rock formations and caves with the exception of Anegada.

BVI Yacht charters have risen greatly in popularity as a holiday activity and add to the excitement of a sunshine that is perfect.

There are two types of yacht charters:

Crewed Charters

A charter that is crewed provided with an experienced crew to sail the yacht for you and provide other services like cooking, cleaning and serving the guests. The size of the crew depends on the size of the yacht but will include a skipper, a chef and a hostess to make your stay on the yacht as pleasurable as possible.

Bareboat Charters

This is the perfect option if you are an experienced sailor, or someone else in the family is a skipper that is qualified. This option gives you complete freedom you want and when you feel like it as you can explore the destinations. It is a much cheaper option than a charter that is crewed gives you much more flexibility to do what you like.
