Virgin Islands sailing

Everyone can experience the British Virgin Islands by sea. Referred to as the sailing capital of the Caribbean, the BVI offers the finest and safest sailing in the world. The only thing you'll need is a spirit for adventure.

A Sailor's Paradise
The BVI has the consistency of the Caribbean trade winds, clear blue water, islands close enough for a day sail, and sunshine every day. Winds generally blow northeast to southeast at 10-25 knots, and are sometimes stronger in the winter months. From the main capital island of Tortola, sailors have incredible variety in a cruising area that is about 32 miles long and 15 miles wide. A sailing vacation gives you the freedom to create your own itinerary amid the sixty islands and cays that form the BVI. Host to many yacht clubs, the BVI Spring Regatta features three days of exciting festivities and competition. Over 100 yachts will participate this year.

Bareboat Charters
For the experienced sailor, a bareboat vacation is the ideal sea excursion. Captain your own boat and explore secluded islands that are only accessible by boat such Diamond Cay and Prickly Pear Island.

Crewed Charter
A crewed yacht package allows you the ultimate in luxury. With exquisite cuisine and beautiful vistas, your captain can guide you through exciting dive sites such as the Wreck of the Rhone, as well as swimming and snorkelling at the geological wonder, The Baths.

Day Sail
Even if you choose to stay at a land-based hotel, you can charter a yacht for a day sail and dive, swim, snorkel, or explore the national parks on uninhabited islands such as Great Camanoe and Fallen Jerusalem.


Fishing

Deep sea, fly-fishing, bone fishing, and more in the British Virgin Islands.

Anegada is known for some of the finest shallow water and deep sea fishing in the world. For those interested in fly-fishing, Anegada's waters offer a wide variety of game fish. Fishermen can spend hours in water eight inches to two feet deep casting into schools of silver bonefish visible below. Although these fish typically weigh between three and ten pounds, they are, pound for pound, the strongest fighting fish in the world.

Fisherman can also rent a classic wooden boat or a newer ocean kayak and cruise the mangroves or flats where they will find bonefish, tarpon, snooke, jacks, and of course, the barracuda.

The Northern drop-off of the island borders the Atlantic Ocean making deep-sea fishing plentiful. Charters are available with knowledgeable local guides. Using ballyhoo, small baitfish and feather hoochies, fishermen will cast for trophy-sized game fish such as yellow fin and black fin tuna, wahoo, dolphin (dorado) and the most popular game fish in the world, the blue marlin. A truly exciting fishing adventure!

Traditional local fishermen typically use small skiffs to catch snapper and triggerfish in fish traps to sell to island restaurants. Anegada lobster, famous throughout the islands, are caught in pots and fishermen dive for conch off the beaches north of the salt ponds.
