Sailing Along the British Virgin Islands

About the British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a not-too-crowded but beautiful sailing area. The combination of several islands with distances of only 1 or 2 hours of sailing and the stable winds makes this a perfect sailing area!

PLEASE NOTE: While we currently do not offer flotilla sailing in the British Virgin Islands, you can still explore this stunning destination with our bareboat charter options.

Browse our available yachts or contact one of our Personal Shipmates for tailored advice and assistance!

Sailing Along the British Virgin Islands

Great Weather for Sailing

With stable temperatures of around 25 and 30 degrees, you know where you are. The climate on the British Virgin Islands is also called subtropical, with pleasant trade winds.

At night, the temperatures are not too high, making the evenings pleasant, and rainfall is minimal on the islands. The hurricane season in the BVI runs from July until the end of October.

BVI is nominated as one of the most popular sailing locations in the world due to its favourable climate!

With the almost always present trade winds, beautiful tropical sun, and the possibility of navigating by sight, the British Virgin Islands are a dream location for true sailing enthusiasts!

Beautiful blue water, a breathtakingly colourful reef, and, finally, the sea turtles. What makes it complete are the pearly white beaches, a cooling drink, and the numerous cosy beach bars.

Day 1

Wickhams Cay II

The marina is only a 20-minute drive from the airport, and the base can be found on Wickhams Cay II (Tortola). Once you have arrived at the port, you can do your shopping first, and after that, you can bring your things on board. Next, acclimate with a drink and spend your first night on the boat.

Day 2

Wickhams Cay II - Peter Island

The warm Caribbean trade winds - they are already there! Today you are going to Peter Island, which is the largest island of the BVI. Here you will find countless beautiful anchorages. Don't forget to enjoy the spectacular view! There are also hiking trails to the highest point of the island (be aware of the wild goats!).

Day 3

Peter Island - Leverick Bay

Today, you can sail along Virgin Gorda (remote granite rocks), which is worth it! After that, the course continues towards Leverick Bay Resort & Marina. For the wind and kite surfing enthusiasts, Leverick Bay is very suitable for taking your moment of action here!

Day 4

Leverick Bay - Anegada

Today you are going to Anegada - a unique island created by volcanic rock. The snorkel enthusiast certainly has something to experience here, namely the beautiful underwater world with coral and limestone. You can also explore the island. Go ashore at Setting Point where you can rent a car or scooter. If you want to encounter some rare animals, at Nutmeg Point, you have the opportunity to meet the rare rock iguanas and exotic birds that live on this island. By the way, don't forget to stop by the salt lakes and say goodbye to the flamingos. Also, enjoy the speciality of Anegada - we eat lobster tonight!

Day 5

Anegada - Trellis Bay

Next stop - Beef Island. Here you have the opportunity to do some shopping at the local market.

Day 6

Trellis Bay - Jost Van Dyke

Today, you head west. You go on the open water to the beautiful beaches of Jost Van Dyke. This is the smallest of the four islands. There is a pleasant, cosy atmosphere with charming beach bars, such as Foxy's Tamarind Bar and the Soggy Dollar Bar. This island is also suitable for walking trips.

Day 7

Norman Island

There are still plenty of anchor spots to explore, or if you have an early flight, you can already return to the base. If you still have time, a visit to Norman Island is also an option. The underwater caves and secluded bays make this a perfect place to go snorkelling or diving. Are you looking for a beautiful place to have lunch? In this case, we recommend "The Indians". Also pay a visit to the Pirate’s Bight Beachbar, which is an essential part of your sailing vacation at the BVI.

Day 8

Norman Island - Wickhams Cay II

Unfortunately, it is already the last day of your trip, so today you sail back to the base at Wickham's Cay II.

From where does the British Virgin Islands flotilla depart?

The flotilla departs from the base at Wickhams Cay II (Tortola).

Where should I fly if I want to sail in this flotilla?

You can fly to Tortola. The marina is only a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport. Tubber can help you arrange a transfer with our new service.

When does the BVI flotilla sail?

For now, there are no flotillas planned for the BVI in the year 2025. For really up-to-date availability, it is always best to personally contact one of our Tubber sailing holiday experts.

Do I need a boat license to participate in a flotilla?

When you go bareboat sailing in the BVI, you do not necessarily need to own a valid boating license. In any case, we can prepare a temporary sailing CV for you that is accepted locally.
