Tortola to Tortola |
|
Day 1: Join your charter yacht in Soper’s Hole, Tortola and set sail for an easy reach to the Bight at Norman Island. Enjoy a tropical lunch and then dinghy to the caves for a snorkel. Have an evening cocktail at the famous “William Thornton,” a floating bar and restaurant. Overnight.
Day 2: Wake early and leave for “The Indians” for an early morning swim or snorkel and continue to “Deadman’s Bay”, Peter Island, for lunch. Then, sail to Salt Island, where certified divers will want to explore the “Wreck of the Rhone”, which was lost in an 1867 hurricane. Then, it’s a short sail to Cooper Island to overnight.
Day 3: Make your way towards “The Baths” on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda where huge boulders mass together along the shoreline. Large caves and walkways with magnificent rock pools take you through to Devil’s Bay. Sail up to the North Sound to the home of the Bitter End Yacht Club. It’s a short dingy ride to Eustatia Reef for a snorkel where the seabed is littered with old cannons and anchors from galleons wrecked on the reef in years gone by.
Day 4: Sail to Great Camanoe Island. Take a short walk through the huge aloe plants to Cam Bay and see lizards and hermit crabs. The snorkeling here is excellent, with schools of colorful tropical fish and a variety of coral. At sunset, sail to Cane Garden Bay on the northern side of Tortola and enjoy live music in one of the many beach bars.
Day 5: After breakfast sail over to Green Cay for snorkeling off Sandy Spit. This is a tiny, tropical, sandy island - a must see! Move onto Jost van Dyke in the afternoon and anchor in Great Harbor. Visit Foxy's Bar to meet the world famous Foxy, who often plays Calypso music for his guests.
Day 6: Awake for a swim in White Bay. Then, set sail for West End, Tortola, the home port of Pussers Rum. Ashore is a cluster of fanciful pastel West Indian buildings, known as Sopers Hole Wharf. This houses some terrific boutiques and craft shops including Pussers Landing Restaurant and Company Store. Around the anchorage is a mix of old classic brigantines, square-riggers and modern sailing boats. Overnight.
Day 7: Disembark at Soper’s Hole, West End to complete your BVI yacht charter.
