Chartering Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are the most forgiving, accessible cruising ground in the Caribbean — line-of-sight navigation, protected waters and anchorages a short sail apart. Steady winter trades and calm seas make it ideal for relaxed charters and families alike.

01

Virgin Gorda

Home to The Baths — giant granite boulders forming grottoes and pools — and the sheltered, superyacht-friendly North Sound.

02

Jost Van Dyke

The famous beach bars of White Bay and a relaxed, barefoot character — the BVI at its most carefree.

03

Norman Island

Reputedly the inspiration for Treasure Island, with excellent snorkelling at the Caves and a sheltered anchorage at The Bight.

04

Anegada

The only coral island in the chain — flat, remote, and famous for its lobster and empty beaches.
