SAILING THE CARIBBEAN

Pirates, palm trees, and peace

The Caribbean Islands have called to mariners for centuries, and their allure has never wavered. Why? Maybe it’s the balmy weather or the gorgeous mountains that tumble down into seemingly endless beaches. Maybe it’s the appeal of the tiny, deserted islands that can only be accessed by boat or the out-of-the-way snorkelling spots that feel all your own. The islands were affected by Hurricane Irma when it made landfall there in September 2017, but the islands are as hospitable — and beautiful — as ever. Come discover them for yourself.

inside our catamaran

A handsome 12m (40 ft) of double-hulled swiftness, our BVI catamaran handles just like a yacht in case you decide to take a turn at the helm. There’s only room for eight on board, which means a higher incredibleness-per-traveller ratio than ought to be legally allowed.

Do it your way

Whether you opt to hit the clubs, hike the mountains, laze it up on the beach, or try your hand at sailing, your days (and nights) are as full as you decide to make them.

Days 2–6

British 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

Morning

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!

Cooper Island Visit

Snorkel around Cooper Island and marvel at the marine life including majestic sea turtles. Visit the local microbrewery on the island and have a look through the shop to pick up a souvenir.

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. Visit Cow Reck beach and bar and look out at the sea and admire the many shades of blue.

Day 7

British Virgin Islands/Scrub Island

Following breakfast, return back to Scrub Island to disembark the boat before midday.
