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.

The presence of almost constant trade winds in Tortola, the warm temperature of the seas, the idyllic coastline with its pristine white sand beaches, fringed by swaying palm trees - all these aspects combine to produce perfect yachting waters. With upwards of 50 bays and cays and anchorages to select from, it is little wonder that the British Virgin Islands are amongst the Caribbean’s most popular sailing areas.
