British Virgin Islands Cruise

This leisurely sailing cruise around the British Virgin Islands (BVI) begins on Tortola and offers the opportunity to cruise some of the 100 islands, rocks, cays, reefs and islets that make up the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands chain spans about 50 miles east to west in length and offers a superb cruising area. Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and Peter Island provide likely destinations. These islands are full of local bird life, flora and fauna and the crystal clear waters offer views of an amazing variety of fish. Watch out for Parrotfish, Spotted Drums, Cleaner Ship, Angels, Sergeant Majors, slow gliding Rays and many, many others.

Anegada, the sunken island, is different in character to the other Virgin Islands, the perfect place to watch for migrating whales and dolphins. On arrival relax, swim or snorkel at Loblolly Bay or visit the salt ponds and see the pink flamingos.

With place names like Treasure Point and Devils’s Bay you can hear the echoes from the islet of Dead Man's Chest... "Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum!" This romantic group of islands provides the setting for a memorable sailing holiday.
