BVI Sailing Fair Winds and Following Seas

by Barry Monteiro

Occupying a tiny amount of the world’s dry land, the British Virgin Islands are giants in the world sailing community. Known as the sailing capitol of the Caribbean, the BVI are a remarkable destination for sailors and those who would be sailors alike.

The first ingredient of paradise: geography. The weather here is perfect, with gentle trade winds blowing at between 10 and 25 knots and a little more in the winter. Those filled sails will take your ship to protected bays and inlets, where you can anchor and explore onshore, or dive into the warm swimmable waters that remain within five degrees of 80 all year. The islands are densely packed, keeping the water here calm and easy to sail. The short distances and varied islands make learning to sail here simple and fascinating.
