Our first sailing holiday in the BVI

By BVI BareBoat Charters

We first sailed the British Virgin Islands in 1983. We were invited by some good friends to join them on a yacht charter aboard a forty-two foot boat. We almost immediately discovered that this bareboat charter experience in the BVI was the best vacation of our lives.

Since that first trip, we have taken many sailing courses and had many sailing vacations in the British Virgin Islands and elsewhere in the world. But the BVI continues to lure us back every few years like going home for the holidays.

We subsequently purchased a sailing catamaran which we put into charter service in the British Virgin Islands. In the intervening 30+ years, we have sailed with many friends, with our two daughters and their spouses, and now we’re poised to start sailing with our children and their children.

We hope to share with you our experiences and ‘local knowledge’ about sailing and yacht charters in the BVI. You can experience the freedom of sailing amongst these magical islands and set your own cruising paths and itinerary.
