Chartering in the Caribbean's British Virgin Islands:

Between Puerto Rico and the Anegada Passage are the Virgin Islands, one of the world's most compact cruising areas. Laying a 45 mile chain, the main islands are mainly mountainous, with a maze of passages between them and indented every few miles by a tempting cove or bay.

The Virgins are set in a region of constant summer. Their pattern of wind and weather is predictable. Unparalleled visibility and tepid waters offer abundant views into the underwater world of multi-colored reefs and tropical marine life for the novice snorkeler and experienced diver alike. All of our yachts offer snorkeling equipment and some are fully equipped for scuba diving right off the yacht.

Poised on the edge of the Puerto Rico trench, the Virgin Islands are also home to some of the finest fishing grounds in the world.

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.

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.
