The Virgin Islands are a group of small islands that form a kind of estuary protected from waves and strong trade winds. They are located in the Caribbean Sea, east of Puerto Rico and were once a refuge for pirates and privateers. In fact, its main navigation channel, always covered with countless sailboats, is called “Sir Francis Drake Channel”.

The archipelago has two main islands: the legendary Turtle Island, a free port for pirates and corsairs, today the nerve center of the archipelago, and Virgin Gorda.

Both are surrounded by countless small deserted islands or with some charming resort, at most where you can anchor and feel what it's like to live in paradise.

Discover one of the best nautical paradises in the Caribbean, The British Virgin Islands (BVI) at the best time of year to sail the Caribbean: winter.

Our boat is a 70 foot steel Ketch with 5 cabins. It was designed by the most prestigious naval architect in the world, German Frers, a commission from his brother to design a solid, comfortable and reliable ship to sail around the world. The sailboat has crossed the Atlantic more than 40 times.

On board, you will have the instruction of an experienced skipper and also an instructor certified by the RYA.

The boat is rented on a per seat basis.

    Our adventure begins after getting off in an air taxi on the island of Beef Island. After putting on our uniform (swimsuit and flip flops) we boarded Trellis Bay, 100 meters from the airport, where we will take our first Caribbean bath.



    After this welcome, we will begin a week of island hopping, enjoying sailing, dreamy moorings, coral bottoms, filled with countless multicolored fish, exploring the caves that hid pirate treasure a few centuries ago, or simply lying on their idyllic beaches next to the palm trees of the tropics enjoying an average temperature of 28º and waters of 26º.



    All this in a protected navigation area suitable for any level and nautical experience.



    A small sample that you will visit:

    Day 1: Reception and navigation to Jost Van Dyke and Sandy Cay.

    Day 2: Sailing to Norman Island.

    Day 3: Cooper Island.

    Day 4: Virgin Girda (The baths).

    Day 5: The sounds.

    Day 6: Tortola.

    Day 7: Return.

    Our patron was Daniel. He has a lot of experience and miles sailed, that shows. My expectations were met. On the first day with little wind we did maneuvers in port at different berths. On the 2nd day with wind of more than 30 km, we sailed and docked in difficult conditions. Highly recommended course.

    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.
