Unforgettable yachting holidays in British Virgin Islands area
The BVI is the easiest place to learn island hopping. Line-of-sight sailing, steady trade winds, and short legs suit families and mixed crews. Base in Tortola and reach classic stops on day one. Expect clear water, protected anchorages, and well marked mooring fields.
Choose bareboat or a crewed catamaran. We plan routes, moorings, park permits, and fuel stops. Briefings cover National Parks moorings, no-anchor coral zones, and safe harbors in winter swells. Reserve popular moorings in peak months and aim to arrive by early afternoon.

What you can expect to see
Tortola, The Indians, and Norman Island
Start with an easy reach along Sir Francis Drake Channel. Pick up a National Parks mooring at The Indians for coral and fish. Swim the Caves at Norman Island and stop at The Bight for lunch or an overnight on a mooring. Keep an eye on swell on exposed shores. Set the hook on sand only and avoid coral.
Virgin Gorda, The Baths, and North Sound
Arrive at The Baths on a park mooring by morning. Dinghy to the swim zone and walk the boulders to Devil’s Bay. No overnight here. Move to Virgin Gorda’s North Sound for shelter and services. Choose moorings at Leverick Bay, Saba Rock, or Bitter End. Good holding in sand and plenty of room for tenders and water toys.
Jost Van Dyke and Anegada
At Jost Van Dyke, Great Harbour has moorings and easy shore access to Foxy’s. White Bay is a day stop in calm weather with swim zones near Soggy Dollar. For Anegada, plan the approach in good light and follow the marks. The channel is shallow but well defined. Enjoy long beaches at Cow Wreck and Loblolly and fresh lobster in season. Check your charter plan for Anegada approval and weather windows.
