US Virgin Islands: St Thomas to the BVI Itinerary

US Virgin Islands: St Thomas to the BVI Yacht Charter
A week from the US Virgin Islands across the channel into the British Virgins, a route through national parks and legendary beach bars. From the beaches of St John to the sea caves of Norman Island, this is the Caribbean’s great sailing playground. Expect Trunk Bay and painkiller cocktails, turtle bays and clear water, an easy and idyllic island voyage.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
