British Virgin Islands Sailing Loop
Charter a boat from Tortola to sail clockwise around Norman, Cooper, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke.
With calm seas and short distances between islands, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) offer the most established charter route. Over the course of a week, you will snorkel caves and shipwrecks, walk through the giant boulders of The Baths, eat lobster on the coral island of Anegada, and beach-hop the bars of Jost Van Dyke. You can hire a skipper or a fully crewed boat; do not attempt a bareboat charter without proper certification. The leg to Anegada is weather-dependent and can be substituted with Marina Cay if needed.
August to October is peak hurricane season. Moorings are extremely busy during Christmas and New Year, so book well in advance.
