British Virgin Islands offer the best sailing in the world. With over three dozen islands and sparkling Caribbean waters to explore in the BVI, the four largest British Virgin Islands are Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke, its prime for a luxury yacht vacation.
Located 60 miles east of Puerto Rico, and just east of the US Virgin Islands, the entire British Virgin Islands comprise only 59 square miles, so its ideal cruising territory – close and incredibly scenic.
This Caribbean archipelago of BVI is exceptionally yachtsman-friendly, English-speaking, with dozens of secure harbors and gorgeous cays. The best way to explore the BVI is by yacht, you can rent a barefoot boat if you are an experienced sailor or boater, or hire a Captain and crew, and put your feet up on a fully provisioned yacht for a relaxing luxury week aboard a beautiful boat – power boat, catamaran – dual hull as they say, or sailboat- aka: mono-hull.
We loved our counter-clockwise sail around the BVI, to beautiufl harbors, anchorages and islands, and stunning scenery, consistent fair winds for sailing all along! Highlights include snorkeling around the Baths and The Indians, swimming in to the Soggy Dollar Bar at Jost Van Dyke, Norma’s Island with drinks and a big dive at Willy Ts. See our Tips for Sailing a Charter in the BVI for the best cruising, or renting, “chartering”, a yacht in the BVI for a week’s sailing vacation in the spectacular, sunny British Virgin Islands.
