Road Town to Road Town

10 days in the British Virgin Islands
Spend 10 days sailing in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after sailing destinations, and experience its treasure islands and tropical bars. There are many smaller, deserted islands that make up the British Virgin Islands, but there are only four large archipelagos. They are the stuff of island hoppers’ dreams, offering the chance to see beautiful islands largely untouched by civilization. On the other hand, you can throw a wild party with your friends and acquaintances.
You can snorkel around one island and stroll around another since each island is distinct. What other place offers this bliss? You’ll find Treasure Island’s island on your sailing journey! In addition, you will have many opportunities to soak up the sun and enjoy the island vibe. Anyone can sail the British Virgin Islands. This route targets intermediate sailors. The suggested activities are mostly for couples or friends, but there are numerous family-friendly ones too.

Your BVI sailing charter begins in Road Town. After a morning at base preparing for your adventure, go over the Sir Frances Drake Channel to Norman Island and spend the night on Bight Bay on the northern coast. First, tons of exploration! Take the dinghy and snorkeling gear to Treasure Point in the afternoon to explore the magnificent caverns. You may still feel the adventure that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island on this island. Bight Bay has mooring balls year-round. They cost $25 from Pirates Bight Restaurant and Bar ashore.
Road Town
The bustling capital of the British Virgin Islands overlooks Road Harbour. Because of its long and intriguing history, Road Town, Tortola has an abundance of great designs and spots to see. There are various must-see attractions in town. It takes roughly an hour to stroll down Main Street and along the beach past the pastel-painted West Indian buildings with corrugated tin roofs, vibrant shutters, and beautiful fretwork trim. You can see the magnificent array of stores and venues to enjoy various water activities in nearby Wickham’s Cay. Almost every Road Town business sells Caribbean clothing and distinctive items. Make sure that you can handle and exceed the situation.
Treasure Point
A short walk on the mountainside provides amazing views. The Treasure Point caves are located at the southern entrance of the Bight. There, the rocky coastline gives way to cave entrances, allowing snorkelers to swim in and explore. The caves are not very deep, so there is enough light to explore inside. Inside the caverns, visitors will find pools of clear, refreshing water, ferns growing along the cave walls, and a soft, sandy bottom. Guests can witness rock walls and formations populated by cup corals and tropical fish while snorkeling in the caves.
The Bight
Despite being the BVI destination that sailors dream of visiting the most, it is also the one that they remember the least. The infamous Willy T’s on the Bight’s south end and the on-land Pirates Bar/Restaurant ensure it. If you can imagine it, now envision forty or more other vessels in a similarly jubilant state of mind. Irrationality follows. The Bight is a safe, natural harbor with deep water and ample space. You may easily get here from the rest of the British Virgin Islands by approaching from the west and staying clear of only The Indians and Pelican Islands.

Sailing on day 2 is great. Start early and snorkel the Indians. Enjoy the upwind sail to Cooper island thereafter. The Wreck of RMS Rhone off Salt Island should be visited halfway. Snorkeling or diving here is fantastic. You won’t regret exploring the earth’s depths! There are superb licensed diving instructors for all levels and snorkeling for kids, making this a terrific family activity. Spend the night at Manchioneel Bay, again with mooring balls, and if you want kayak or dinghy to Cistern Point for the last snorkel of the afternoon. After a beautiful day, head ashore for happy hour and dinner at the Cooper Island Beach Club. This peaceful eco-resort with palm trees and recycled materials is only accessible by boat, making it a fantastic location to cheers and exchange sea stories with fellow sailors.
The Indians
As you approach ‘The Indians’ from your boat, you’ll be awed by the towering formations that rise majestically from the ocean like sentinels guarding the secrets of the sea. Once you anchor, dive into the warm waters and explore the vibrant coral reefs that are home to a kaleidoscope of colourful marine life. Snorkelers and scuba divers alike will delight in the sight of graceful sea turtles, colourful fish, and majestic manta rays gliding through the water. Above the surface, the rocky islets rise steeply out of the water against the sun-kissed skies, creating a stunning scenery that is enhanced by the fascinating sunsets.
Cooper Island
Cooper Island, one of the most beautiful British Virgin Islands, has a fascinating history. It was once known as Bergen Island when it was administered by Sweden and Norway until 1905. Today it is home to the magnificent Cooper Island Beach Club, a relaxing eco-resort that is a perfect stop for yachts seeking shelter in the bay, or for lunch and happy hour. The area’s variety of fish, turtles and rays makes it ideal for snorkeling. The Cooper Island Beach Club Rum Bar has over 280 rums and is a great place to relax and enjoy the views. Cooper Island offers natural beauty, history, and a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for yachting.
Salt Island
One of the best places to go wreck diving in the Caribbean; a must-see on any yacht charter. While boating around Salt Island, be sure to stop by the shipwreck of the RMS Rhone, which went down in the waters there in 1867 and is now a popular diving and snorkelling spot. Road Town, the capital of the British Virgin Islands, is a charming little town full of local shops, restaurants, and bars. Although there are no bars or restaurants on the island, it is nevertheless an ideal destination for those in search of peace and quiet. Hikers will enjoy the island’s beautiful scenery and the several breathtaking trails they can take to get there.
Manchioneel Bay
The bay provides a safe haven for anchoring, and there are many exciting things to do nearby. The major attraction is the Cooper Island Beach Club, a modest resort featuring a restaurant, rum bar, coffee shop, boutique, and a beautiful outdoor lounge area. The beach bar and lounge face west, making it an ideal spot to sip a drink and take in the breathtaking sunset over the Caribbean. Manchioneel Bay is perfect for water sports because its pristine white sand beach boasts super calm, crystal clear water while the neighboring Cistern Point is a fantastic spot for snorkeling and turtle viewing.

On the third day, take it easy and appreciate the incredible natural beauty of Cooper Island. Whatever you decide to do on one of the island’s excellent beaches, great rum shacks, or fantastic fishing sites, you’re in for a fantastic day. Your boats and batteries can both be charged here. You should also fill up your water bottles while you’re here.

Day 4 of your BVI sailing trip takes you to the Baths on Virgin Gorda’s southern coast. A dingy dock and mooring buoys make beach access easy. After mooring, swim to the quietest beach and go among the stones to Devils Bay National Park. After exploring this mesmerizing site, return to your boat and sail up to the North Sound. Then anchor your yacht at Leverick Bay for a relaxing evening.
Devil’s Bay (The Baths)
The beauty of this beach is difficult to put into words. Hopefully, the photographs will help paint a more accurate picture! A series of steps and rope handrails lead guests through the boulders from The Baths beach to Devil’s Bay’s beautiful white sand and sparkling blue waters. Devil’s Bay is a popular daylight anchorage where you can swim and snorkel. A trail leads to Stoney Bay, where Atlantic swells batter the coastline and seabirds swoop overhead. This beach has remained beautifully pristine, with no restrooms, cafes, bars, or trash cans. A ‘must see’.
North Sound
North Sound is a treasure trove of private islands and pristine beaches, including Moskito Island, Necker Island, Oil Nut Bay, and Leverick Bay, which are all adorned with luxurious resorts, water sports, delicious dining options, and fun beach bars. The heart of this sailing mecca is by Saba Rock, a recently reopened island resort, and Prickly Pear Island, a protected nature reserve. North Sound is a haven for kite surfers who flock here for the steady easterly trade winds that create perfect kiting conditions.
Leverick Bay
With its calm turquoise waters, beautiful beaches, and world-class marina facilities, Leverick Bay is a perfect place to anchor as you explore Virgin Gorda. Relax on the beach, soak up the sun, and indulge in delicious Caribbean cuisine at the waterfront restaurants. The marina is equipped with modern amenities, offering a pool, a restaurant, a beach bar, nightly live entertainment, water sports and shops.

Day 5 promises excitement. Dinghy to Saba Rock, a North Sound treasure. Caribbean cuisine and craft beverages are served here. Eustatia Reef is near Saba Rock. This location is shallow, so only visit in your dinghy and go slowly. Leverick Bay is ideal for afternoons. Marina shops sell trinkets. Swim in the pool if you like. Take a late-afternoon taxi to Hogs Heaven restaurant if you want 360-degree vistas and food. The sunset is unlike any other. Enjoy dinner with the island’s lights flashing.
Saba Rock
Saba Rock is a tiny island off Virgin Gorda that is well-known for its breathtaking scenery and relaxed vibe. Located in the North Sound, the entire island is a resort, with beachfront cottages and opulent suites and excellent dining and cocktails.
Eustatia Island
This island rental opportunity is definitely unique. Most Caribbean islands function as small resorts, however, on Eustatia you get nearly the entire island to yourself. It is one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful and remote islands. The waters of Eustatia Sound are without a doubt the best watersports destination in the BVI since the protective reef, level water, and consistent trade winds provide ideal conditions for most activities. Guests can explore the nearby protected bay, islands, and beaches using sea kayaks, paddleboards, and Hobie Cats. Guests can also enjoy water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, and wake surfing on the 14-foot Caribe or the 22-foot Zodiac handled by the crew. Windsurfers and kiteboarders can launch directly from the beach, which usually has ideal cross-shore wind conditions.

Wake up and head to Setting Point Harbor on Anegada. The British Virgin Islands have no other place like this. Since it’s flat, the neighboring islands can’t see it. Between Setting Point and Pomato Point is the well-marked and lit reef entrance to the anchorage. Here are hard-sand overnight mooring buoys. For availability, contact the Anegada Reef Hotel or Neptune’s Treasure. Loblolly Bay and Cow Wreck are two of Anegada’s 11 kilometres of stunning beaches. An afternoon here seeing the salt ponds, home to a colony of pink flamingos, and the island’s protected gigantic iguana would be well spent.
Setting Point
Setting Point is a beach on the British Virgin Islands Anegada island. Yachts can also dock here. As a result, this is the most popular attraction on the island, along with various cafes. Ashore, there are few isolated areas with trees. The setting is the Anegada Harbour. It was previously off-limits to yacht charters, but because of enhanced markings, it now serves as Anegada’s anchorage. It is home to several of Anegada’s greatest hotels, including the most popular, Anegada Reef Hotel. The Anegada Harbor, a reef entry, is located between the Anegada Reef Hotel and Pomato Point. Setting Point is home to some of the world’s best diving spots. It’s a great area to capture bonefish, barracuda, and jacks. Chartering a yacht allows you to fish for Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, and Wahoo in deep waters.
Pomato Point
Consider taking your yacht to Pomato Point over a corner for some much-needed quiet time. The sand is white, and the sea is calm and easy to get into. The Anegada Conch Shell Mounds are ancient shell mounds built by the island’s first inhabitants and may be found nearby Pomato Point. Hikers may also climb The Settlement Hill, the island’s highest point, to take in panoramic views. Fun fact: Pomato Point gets its name from the Pomato plant, a native of the island that is fermented into a wine known as Pomato wine.

BVI sailing day 7 is beach day; tan up. As noted, Anegada has the best beaches. Take a taxi to these islands. It’s more like chairs on the back of a pickup truck, but it’s fun (if not exhilarating)! Hire vehicles, jeeps, and motorcycles ashore! BBQ and beach party at night. Bitter End yacht club offers pool and watersports, perfect!
An island surrounded by just as many shipwrecks as fish, Anegada is best explored below the surface. Horseshoe Reef is a particularly good spot to snorkel or dive with centuries-old wrecks, such as the Astraea shipwreck. Sea turtles are aplenty, while above the surface you’ll likely see more pink flamingos than people. Learn to kitesurf at Keel Point, cruise lazily alongside the resident turtles on a paddleboard at Loblolly Bay. Take a midday break dining on fresh seafood at Lobster Trap Restaurant or swaying in a hammock with a novel and a drink at Anegada Beach Club.

Day 8: Sail to Marina Cay! The telephone box is famous. This shows that the islands are British. Get in on the action—cameras capture images here every 15 seconds. “Pussers” is a special area in the island, it was founded by Charles Tobias, began as a shop and swiftly developed into many island chains selling apparel, cigars, gifts, and rum cakes. Their extensive menu includes seafood, Caribbean, and North American dishes. You can also add fresh water and ice at once. Dinghy to “Diamond Reef” for snorkeling.
