British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter

At The Moorings, our BVI sailing itinerary starts in Tortola and takes you to the BVI’s must-see places! Starting at Cooper Island, our route will guide you around Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Trellis Bay, Great Harbour and The Bight.

Our BVI itinerary blends the best of both worlds: secluded anchorages and beautiful sunsets, with a bit of laid-back beachside bars, meaning there’s something for everyone!

It truly couldn’t be easier to navigate your way around the BVI and explore its magnificent islands. Whether you’re staying for a week or longer, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the BVI’s main islands and discover their hidden gems.

On your BVI yacht charter, you can spend days relaxing on the golden sands and snorkelling in the turquoise waters, whilst still having enough time to sail around the islands and moor up to explore!

It depends on how much of the British Virgin Islands you want to explore during your idyllic yacht charter as to how many days is enough. If you want to uncover the treasures of each of the BVI’s main islands, you may choose to book for longer than if you’re planning on staying mostly within the Sir Francis Drake Channel for most of your charter.

We think a week is a great amount of time to sail around the BVI because you have plenty of time to relax and unwind, while also being able to enjoy the adventure of visiting different islands.

• Visit the white-sand beaches of Jost Van Dyke and enjoy a Painkiller cocktail at the world-famous Soggy Dollar Bar.
• Navigate the labyrinth of natural rock formations at The Baths national park.
• Snorkel the unique underwater features off Norman Island at the Indians or the Caves.
• Enjoy fresh-caught lobster at the edge of the world at a local beachside restaurant.
• Spend time in North Sound, Virgin Gorda, home to signature ports of call such as the Bitter End Yacht Club, Leverick Bay Resort & Marina, Saba Rock, and Oil Nut Bay.
• Uncover hidden coves and breathtaking marine life as you go scuba diving or snorkelling in the BVI. The Moorings dive partner, Sail Caribbean Divers is a PADI 5-star dive company in the British Virgin Islands and is located at our base. They offer rendezvous excursions to any one of the BVI 73 official dive sites, as well as equipment rentals, instructional courses and more
