7 DAYS IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

Begin in Saint Thomas with a refined embarkation and a calm introduction to life on board. Your crew will handle final provisioning while you settle into the yacht’s rhythm, then ease out into protected water for a relaxed afternoon cruise. This first day is designed for simplicity, a swim platform moment, a composed lunch, and time to adjust to the pace of the week ahead. As evening arrives, your captain positions the yacht for an easy departure into the BVI the next morning, keeping the night quiet and comfortable. Overnight cruise to Norman Island.

Norman Island delivers an effortless first full charter day, with sheltered bays and excellent water clarity. Your captain will choose a calm anchorage, then the day becomes yours, snorkeling straight from the yacht, paddleboarding in protected water, and tendering ashore when you want a change of scenery. The coastline here feels made for relaxed exploration, and your crew can keep the flow seamless with chilled drinks, towels, and a well timed lunch served between swim sessions. As the light softens, enjoy a quiet cocktail hour with the fleet settling around you in the bay. Anchor the night in this sheltered cove.

A short cruise brings you to Salt Island, a calmer counterpoint to the headline anchorages. The waters remain bright and inviting, and the island’s understated feel suits guests who value privacy and simplicity. Spend the morning with an easy swim and a relaxed deck session, then take the tender for a brief shoreline visit if you wish. With shorter distances today, you have time to let the yacht feel like home, enjoy the chef’s lunch without interruption, and settle into an evening that stays discreet and composed. This is the kind of day that makes the BVI feel effortless. Anchor the night in this secluded cove.

Virgin Gorda is essential on a BVI route, combining calm anchorages with one of the Caribbean’s most recognisable natural settings. Your crew will time the visit for a smooth tender landing and comfortable conditions, then guide you toward a memorable shoreline experience among the island’s granite formations and sheltered coves. Return to the yacht for a long lunch and a slow afternoon in protected water, with paddleboards and snorkeling gear ready whenever you want them. As evening arrives, the anchorage settles into calm, ideal for a refined dinner on deck and a quiet night. Anchor the night in this sheltered anchorage.

Anegada feels wonderfully different from the rest of the BVI. Low lying and surrounded by luminous banks, it offers an open horizon and a sense of remoteness that rewards the passage. Your captain will approach with precision, mindful of shallow contours, then settle you into calm water for a day built around beach time and relaxed swimming. This is the day to embrace simplicity done perfectly, long sand walks, a leisurely lunch, and an afternoon that moves slowly between sun and shade. As sunset arrives, the shoreline glows and the anchorage becomes quiet and still. Anchor the night in these bright, secluded shallows.

After the openness of Anegada, Guana Island brings you back into the channel’s protected rhythm. The passage is comfortable, and the arrival feels calm and composed, with anchorages chosen for shelter and easy tender access. Spend the day snorkeling and paddleboarding, then take a tender run along the coastline for a quiet beach moment. Your crew will keep the schedule flexible, so you can linger where the water is clearest and the anchorage feels most private. Evening here is beautifully understated, a refined dinner, a soft breeze, and a night that feels entirely your own. Anchor the night in this sheltered anchorage.

Jost Van Dyke offers a closing day that can be as relaxed or as social as you prefer. Your captain will secure a calm anchorage, then you can spend the morning in the water, enjoying one last swim and an unhurried lunch on board. If you want an afternoon ashore, tender in for a beach walk and a refined early evening drink, then return to the yacht as the bay settles. This final night is designed to feel complete, a relaxed pace, a polished service flow, and a quiet sense of having experienced the BVI at its best. Anchor the night in this sheltered bay.
