Sailing in the BVI

The British Virgin Islands are classed as a level 1 sailing area (Levels explained).

A British Virgin Islands yacht charter from Tortola, with its easy, deep-water sailing between the sixty stunning islands of the archipelago, is suitable for sailors with only a small amount of previous experience, which novices can gain at our on-site RYA sailing school.

The liveliest sailing is generally around Christmas and the most gentle during the summer months. Winds in the winter are generally north-east trade winds, in summer they come from the south-east. Temperatures average 26º - 30ºC (78 - 86ºF) year round.

  • Virgin Gorda

    Virgin Gorda is of course the home of the world-famous Baths; immense boulders that look as if they have been strewn by the hand of a giant across an idyllic beach, creating an incredible landscape of grottos and natural swimming pools. On a Virgin Gorda boat charter explore the Baths for yourself and walk through the tunnel to Devil’s Bay where you can find waves good enough for a bit surfing or body-boarding.
