The British Virgin Islands are the easiest serious sailing in the world, and they know it. Forty-odd islands ring the Sir Francis Drake Channel, a stretch of protected water twenty miles long where the trade wind blows steadily and land is always in sight.
Every anchorage is a few hours from the last. Norman Island supplied Stevenson with Treasure Island; the Baths at Virgin Gorda are granite boulders the size of houses tumbled into tidal grottoes. And the beach bars are an institution rather than an afterthought.
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 who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the British Virgin Islands; the rest we tailor to you.
