Days 2–6British Virgin Islands
Continue on course through the picturesque islands – a sailor's dream. Commonly referred to as the BVIs, the British Virgin Islands are located among the entire Virgin Islands group. Spend time exploring uninhabited islands, white sand beaches, snorkelling, or catching some rays. Spend evenings enjoying breathtaking sunsets, fresh fish, and an island beach party.
Norman Island Visit
Discover this uninhabited gem, it offers lots of options to explore from its larger harbor, a protected anchorage area called "the Bight." Enjoy a visit to the caves just below the cliffs for excellent snorkelling opportunities, and keep an eye out for any long forgotten treasure – who knows what could have been left behind! If Norman Island could talk, it would be sure to tell stories of pirate legends.
Virgin Gorda Visit
Soak up the sun and beautiful scenery on this visit to the gorgeous Virgin Gorda. Sail towards the island and dock at the the Bitter End, which was originally thought to be the last of the islands, hence the name. Step ashore to meet friendly locals and other sailors alike. Spend the day at leisure, enjoying the beach, or take a hike around the island for some stunning viewpoints. Visit the famous Baths, which are a collection of huge granite boulders with white sand beaches and secret rock pools. Encompassing the beaches and rocky shoreline at the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda, the Baths is an untouched paradise that looks like you stepped right into a postcard!
Guana Island Visit
Discover your own piece of Caribbean paradise on Guana Island. One of the few remaining privately owned islands in its part of the world, Guana consists of seven white powder-soft sand beaches and acres and acres of tropical forest, mountains, and hills. Settle in for a day of relaxation on the beach of your dreams or swim in the clearest blue waters imaginable for miles around.
Jost Van Dyke Visit
Spend some quality time on Jost Van Dyke, one of the smallest populated islands in the BVIs that will be sure to make a big impression. Grab a drink at the famous 'Soggy Dollar' Bar before lunch on board. Opt to go hiking or join the skipper at the famous Willy T Floating bar. A day at Jost Van Dyke is a day in paradise. It's hard to go wrong!
Anegada Island Visit
If the winds are right sail to the last of the British Virgin Islands. Anegada is surrounded by white sandy beaches and unlike the other islands it does not have any volcanic mountains on it, making it very unique. Rent a bike and cycle around the island.
