BVI Sailing Holiday

9th to 15th March 2012
Beautiful downwind sailing under the stars to arrive in the British Virgin Islands for the morning; sail to Richard Branson’s Necker Island, the remote snorkelling paradise of Anegada and party it up later in the week at The Last Resort and Norman Island

Sailing in the British Virgin Islands

Fly into St Maarten and meet up with your shipmates at Marigot on the French side of the island. Then stow your gear for some perfect trade wind sailing overnight to arrive in Virgin Gorda for breakfast. The BVI’s are a sailing dream with short passages between the anchorages and bars & restaurants located at most night-time spots to cater to your every holiday whim.

Have a Sailing Adventure

Our 7 day BVI sailing holiday includes glorious blue water sailing, great home-cooked food, fantastic snorkelling and evenings under the stars. Beginners and improvers are assured of a relaxed and unhurried learning experience and single travellers will make firm friends amongst their fellow boat buddies.

Our itinerary takes in all the island highlights from the lively anchorages of Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island to the remote snorkelling spots on Anegada and the superb dining on Tortola; and gives you plenty of sailing, whilst allowing you time for relaxing and exploring.

Sunshine & Warm Seas

Warm sunny weather is practically guaranteed; there are often showers in this part of the world but they never last long, and hey, it’s warm rain! Temperatures in their high 20′s are the norm, and there’s always a cooling breeze on board. The sea is a wonderful shade of blue, and with some of the best snorkelling in the Caribbean….prepare to be amazed.
