It’s for good reason that the lush British Virgin Islands (BVI), an archipelago of sixty islands and cays located in the northeast Caribbean Sea, have long been a popular destination for sociable sailors.

White-sand beaches? Check. Luxury waterfront resorts? Check. Chic boutique shopping? Excellent restaurants? Laid-back bars? Check, check and check again.

A British Virgin Islands (BVI) flotilla sailing vacation allows you the freedom to explore the beautiful islands stretching around the protected Sir Frances Drake Channel, moving between the larger islands - Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and Anegada, famous for its lobster – and those that are smaller and more intimate. 

Easy deep-water hops, line of sight navigation and consistent trade winds make for a relaxing and family-friendly sailing experience. Coral reefs alive with hundreds of different tropical fish and every form of exotic sea-life make for superb snorkeling and scuba-diving in the crystal clear turquoise waters. 

Whatever your preference of vacation activity, the rum is plentiful, the drums are contagious and you are bound to come back from British Virgin Islands (BVI) flotilla sailing with a few new friends, a few less inhibitions and a very chilled new attitude.
