Crewed Charters, British Virgin
Islands: The Beautiful
British Virgin Islands are described as "Nature's
Little Secret". Minutes after casting off, the
adventure begins & you will find yourself cruising
in an abundance of quiet & protected anchorages,
with white sand, palm fringed beaches and crystal clear
waters alive with beautiful corals & colourful tropical
fish. Our diving and snorkelling is rated among the
best in the world. Over sixty dive sites are chartered,
many within a recently established underwater National
Park System. Innumerable virgin reefs remain unexplored.
Vertical walls, underwater pinnacles, coral reefs, caverns
and wrecks - most notably the RMS Rhone which sank in
1867. Perfect for a family vacation, romantic Honeymoon
or a fun vacation with friends.
Come
and experience the smooth sailing, laid-back atmosphere
and attentive service. Your crew are here to make your
vacation the best that you have ever had! By far the
most popular charter area (and the easiest to sail)
is the Virgin Islands. These Islands are more sheltered
from the open ocean than other Caribbean areas, they
are close to each other and there are numerous quiet
and flat calm anchorages. You rarely need to sail more
than an hour or two to get from one place to the next,
and will quite often stop somewhere for lunch and end
up somewhere else for dinner. There are dozens of quiet
anchorages to enjoy, many excellent spots for diving
and snorkeling, a variety of shore excursions are possible
and you can always find something going on in the evening,
it that's your goal. Most smaller yachts operate out
of St Thomas as it's easier to fly into, though you'll
sail into and spend most of your time in the British
Virgin Islands. The larger yachts that carry more than
six passengers operate out of Tortola in the British
Virgins rather than St Thomas.
Comprised of 36 islands, dotted around
59 square miles, in the Caribbean (16 of which are inhabited);
about 80 kilo meters 960 miles) east of Puerto Rico,
north of the Leeward Islands, and adjacent to the U.S.
Virgin Islands; principal islands are Tortola, Virgin
Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. Among the most frequently
visited of the BVI's handful of inhabited islands are
Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Beef Island, Anegada, Jost Van
Dyke, Peter, Mosquito, and Guana Islands. All of these
lilting place names reflect idyllic sites for unwinding,
wriggling your toes in the sand, and absorbing the tranquil
pleasures of sunshine and sapphire seas.
