The Virgin Islands are a group of small islands that form a kind of natural estuary, protected from waves and intense trade winds.

In the past, they served as a haven for pirates and privateers. It is no coincidence that its main navigation channel, now crossed by numerous sailing ships, is called the “Sir Francis Drake Channel”.

The archipelago has two main islands: the legendary Tortola, a former free port for corsairs and today the nerve center of the region, and Virgin Gorda, equally famous and beautiful.

Both are surrounded by endless deserted or barely inhabited islets, where at most you can find a couple of charming beach bars.

They are perfect places to anchor and let yourself be carried away by the feeling of being in paradise: enjoying coral reefs full of multicolored fish, exploring caves that kept pirate treasures centuries ago or, simply, lying on idyllic beaches under tropical palm trees, with an average temperature of 28°C and crystal clear waters of 25°C.

We will sail aboard a mythical sailboat designed by German Frers and with more than 40 Atlantic crossings behind it.

  • Plan
    Our route begins with the arrival to San Juan de Puerto Rico, a magnificent colonial city whose perfectly preserved old town exudes history from every corner.



    From there, the best way to reach the Virgin Islands is to take a short flight of just 30 minutes by air taxi. The experience is worth it: from the air you can see the grandeur of this marine archipelago. When we land in Tortola, the boat awaits us, anchored just 200 meters away.



    Road Town. The capital and most important port of the islands, it is the only city as such in the archipelago and concentrates a large part of its population.



    After a short sail, we will anchor in the crystal clear waters of Cane Garden Bay, where we will enjoy the first swim and rest from the trip from Spain.



    The next day, we will head to Sandy Cay, a small dream island where we will feel like real Robinsones. After a short cruise, we will arrive at Jost Van Dyke, where we will anchor in the picturesque Great Harbor.



    After a restorative rest, we will continue to Norman Island to anchor at The Bight. That night we will enjoy the lively nightlife in one of the most charming places in the Caribbean: The Pirates.



    With renewed energy, in the morning we will explore the famous caves of Norman Island, a paradise for scuba divers. Legend has it that these caves inspired Robert L. Stevenson to write Treasure Island.



    After lunch, we will sail to Beef Island and Marina Cay, one of the most picturesque ports in the region, where we will continue to alternate moorings on virgin and populated islands, each with a unique charm.



    After another special night, we will head to Virgin Gorda and its famous The Baths, considered one of the best places for snorkeling in the entire Caribbean. Here, too, we can refuel before enjoying the last two days of sailing between deserted islands, completely disconnecting from civilization.



    Finally, we will return to Tortola to take the air taxi back to San Juan de Puerto Rico, where we can make one last stop to smooth the transition between paradise and daily routine.



    Note: The itinerary may vary slightly and, in case of changes, they will always be agreed with the entire crew (for example, staying longer on an island by popular acclamation).

Complete with main engine and generator, autopilot, mats, sails, fixed and mobile rigs, etc... the boat was dry for 12 months for this refit and was prepared for ocean sailing school.



The crew is comprised of 2 experienced RYA instructors so that one is always on call.

    Fantastic! In general, an instructor is expected to have knowledge and to be able to transmit it. With him, in addition to all this, it is worth appreciating the passion with which he does it and his constant emphasis on Safety.
