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.
