The British Virgin Islands are renowned for offering some of the world’s most thrilling and accessible sailing adventures. Each island and harbor has its own unique charm, and with over 50 islands close enough to explore within an afternoon sail, the variety is endless. Steady trade winds and straightforward navigation make for a pleasant and exciting sailing experience.
Sunsail’s base at Wickhams Cay II in Road Town, Tortola, is a bustling marina situated just six miles from Terrance B. Lettsome airport. In the heart of the capital, this marina has everything you need for a seamless start and end to your adventure, including a spacious reception area, comfortable departure lounge, and air-conditioned chart-briefing rooms to map out your journey. There’s also a lively restaurant/bar, a coffee shop, and a hotel featuring a pool and spa to relax after a day on the water.
The waters of the BVI are celebrated for their stunning clarity and vibrant colors. The beaches are pristine with powdery white sand and invitingly warm waters. Excellent snorkelling opportunities await just off the beaches, with remarkable spots like the Indians and the Baths on Virgin Gorda offering world-class underwater experiences. Warm days throughout the year and gentle evening breezes make the beach bars and restaurants even more enjoyable.
Tortola is the vibrant heart of the British Virgin Islands, serving as the capital and the main transport hub. From Tortola, you can easily sail to the larger islands such as Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and Norman Island, as well as numerous smaller, uninhabited islets. You can traverse the length of the BVIs in a single day, yet it would take months to fully explore all the hidden inlets, coves, and beaches.
Jost Van Dyke is famed for its iconic beach bars and the stunning Bubbly Pool at its east end. Virgin Gorda’s Baths are an adventure not to be missed. Norman Island, believed to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, is perfect for a day trip to The Indians. Anegada, the most remote and tranquil of the larger islands, offers untouched natural beauty that feels like a true escape.
