BVI Sailing Itinerary
6 Dec 2021
Discover the Best Yacht Charter Experience in the British Virgin Islands
Dreaming of the perfect BVI sailing itinerary? The British Virgin Islands (BVI) offer the perfect sailing adventure with their white-sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and top-tier snorkeling and diving spots. Nestled east of Puerto Rico, the BVI is a volcanic archipelago with four main islands—Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Jost Van Dyke—and over 30 smaller, often uninhabited islands. These stunning Caribbean islands are famed for their luxurious resorts, vibrant nightlife, hidden beaches, and breathtaking landscapes.
Charter a Yacht in the BVI: One of the best ways to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the BVI is by chartering a yacht. The islands are renowned as one of the world’s top sailing destinations, offering ideal conditions with steady trade winds, short island-hopping distances, and well-protected anchorages. Whether you’re planning a romantic honeymoon, a family adventure, or a getaway with friends, a yacht charter in the BVI ensures a memorable experience with serene sunrises, secluded beaches, and unforgettable sunsets.
