Highlights

Trellis Bay Yacht Charter
Trellis Bay yacht charters offer the freedom to experience the destination on your own terms. Each itinerary can be shaped around the way you want to travel, with the flexibility to move between time on the water, moments ashore and the simple pleasure of life on board.
Sheltered Anchorage
Trellis Bay curves around a calm stretch of water on Beef Island, protected from the swell by the small offshore island of Bellamy Cay. It is one of the most convenient and comfortable anchorages in the BVI.
Artistic Community
A cluster of artist studios and craft shops sits just behind the beach, most notably Aragorn’s Studio, known for its metalwork and pottery. The community gives the bay a relaxed, creative character unlike most BVI anchorages.
Full-Moon Parties
On the night of every full moon, flaming steel fireball sculptures are lit in the shallows in a spectacle unique to Trellis Bay. Fire dancers and steel-pan music turn a quiet anchorage into one of the BVI’s best-known parties.
Sandy Beach
A curving strip of white sand rings the bay, shaded by sea grape trees and backed by a scatter of beach bars. It is an easy, family-friendly beach for swimming straight off the yacht.
Clear Calm Water
The bay’s water stays flat and clear through most conditions, sheltered by Bellamy Cay and the surrounding headlands. It makes for easy swimming, paddleboarding and an unusually settled night at anchor.

Trellis Bay Charter Guide

Everything you need to know before chartering a yacht in Trellis Bay, from the best time to visit to where to drop anchor.
When's the best time to sail to Trellis Bay?

The BVI’s dry season, December to April, brings the steadiest trade winds and least rain, and is the most popular window. The islands sail well outside hurricane season, roughly June to November, too, with quieter anchorages and better availability.

How close is Trellis Bay to the airport?

About as close as it gets. Trellis Bay sits immediately beside Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS) on Beef Island, Tortola’s main gateway, making it a natural first or last stop for guests joining or leaving a charter.

What are the best anchorages near Trellis Bay?

Trellis Bay itself is calm and well sheltered by Bellamy Cay. Marina Cay lies a short sail north with its own reef, and Maya Cove and Well Bay nearby offer quieter alternatives along Tortola’s eastern shore.

How long should I stay at Trellis Bay?

An overnight or two suits Trellis Bay well, most often as the first or last stop of a wider BVI itinerary given its proximity to the airport.

When does the Trellis Bay full moon party happen?

On the night of every full moon, Aragorn’s Studio hosts its well-known Fireball Full Moon Party, when flaming steel sculptures are lit in the shallows alongside fire dancers and live music. It draws yachts from across the BVI, so it is worth timing an itinerary around the lunar calendar if the party is of interest.
