SAMPLE ITINERARY
7 NIGHT/8 DAY BVI CHARTER
We invite and encourage all our guests to add a sleepaboard night prior to the start of the charter week. This allows for extra time to get settled onboard, shop for provisions, and make the most of your time on the water.
DAY/NIGHT ONE
​
After your boat briefing and check-in, you can depart Village Cay Marina and head directly over to Peter Island to spend the day. Hang out by the luxurious pool, play pickleball and/or tennis, bocce ball, or other lawn games, and have a great meal or two at the Drunken Pelican or The Drake Steakhouse. (Be sure to check their website for dress code info).
​
You can grab an overnight slip or a mooring ball, which gives you access to most of the amenities on island. Peter Island is a fantastic place to set the tone for your vacation and one of the loveliest resorts in the entire BVI chain.
​​
DAY/NIGHT TWO
After breakfast, head towards Cooper island, but if the seas are somewhat calm, take a little detour to Salt Island to snorkel the Wreck of the Rhone. The rudder post comes within 15 feet of the surface and below that is the 17 foot bronze propeller. Also visible, even when snorkeling, is the cargo deck, propeller shaft, mid shaft bearing and gearbox. Surrounding all this, is of course a spectacular reef system full of wreck loving fish. This will be a highlight of your trip, so we hope you get a chance to check it out!
​
From there continue on to Cooper Island in the early afternoon and grab your overnight mooring in Manchioneel Bay. Check out Cistern Point for more snorkeling or simply relax on the beach or by the bar at the Cooper Island Beach Club. There is a strict “no anchor” policy in effect at Cooper Island, due to the plentiful turtle grass on the bottom. Make sure you have called ahead for dinner reservations at the Beach Club to be able to enjoy a wonderful meal in a magnificent setting.
DAY/NIGHT THREE
​
Get an early start and beat the crowds to The Baths on the Southern end of Virgin Gorda. Pick up a National Parks mooring and dinghy to the designated area and swim in from there. Remember to pay attention to the flag system, especially if there is a north swell. Spend the day exploring tunnels, caves and crystal-clear pools through the maze of massive boulders which have been resting there for literally millions of years. Go to the Top of the Baths for lunch and take a dip in the fresh-water swimming pool. There you can enjoy a frozen drink while taking in the spectacular view looking down the entire Sir Francis Drake Channel. Once the day charter crowds have had a chance to clear out, head down to Devil's Bay . . . you'll have it practically to yourselves.
​
If you you plan to overnight in or near Spanish Town, plan on dining at Coco Maya, which is walkable or, at least, a very short taxi ride. Check out their website: COCOMAYA
​
If you are planning to go to Anegada, then you might prefer to make your way around the tip of Virgin Gorda and spend the night in the North Sound, which is a great jumping off point for the sail to Anegada. You will find a plethora of wonderful ways to spend your time and a little something for everyone. Be sure to use the well-marked north entrance and not the shortcut next to Mosquito Island when entering the Sound.
​
Spend some time at Bitter End Yacht Club that afternoon/evening, or stop in for some freshly baked breads and pastries before heading to Anegada. If you are not planning to go to Anegada, we highly encourage you to spend another night in the North Sound. There's just so much to see and do here!
​
Saba Rock is one of our all-time favorite places! There's a cool new club area on the upper deck that has a super chill vibe and usually live music or a DJ. The food and service at Saba Rock is way above par and the atmo is really hard to beat.
​
The newest restaurant in the North Sound is The Mangrove Biras Creek. Even if you don't dine here, but sure to give it a drive-by to check it out!
​
Leverick Bay is also an option, especially if you are interested in going to the Michael Beans show. There's a great pool and laundry facilities.
​
All of these locations have docking options as well as mooring balls.
​
​
DAY/NIGHT FOUR (OPTIONS)
​
A second night in the North Sound or Leave here directly to Anegada is a beautiful and easy sail. Plan on leaving early so you can enjoy a nice long day on the gorgeous, miles-long stretches of white sandy beaches. There are tons of options on Anegada for where to spend your time and everyone has a favorite. Be sure to make your dinner reservation by 4pm to ensure you have a nice fresh lobster prepared for you. Potter's By the Sea is a wonderful place to dined and enjoy nightly entertainment.
​​​
You could also make your way over to the Marina Cay/Scrub Island area. Both are great places to spend some time chilling and/or dining.
​
If you do plan to go to Scrub Island, you could make that your Day Three option, then continue on to VG the next day.
​
Anegada is one of the most unique islands in not only the BVI, but the entire Caribbean. If sea and wind conditions permit, consider adding this stop to your plans. Please let us know if you do intend to go to Anegada, so we can cover that in your boat/chart briefing. There is a slightly tricky channel entrance, so we'll want to touch on that with you.
​
I should note that we are always happy to help you in planning out your itinerary, so don't hesitate to reach out!
​​
DAY /NIGHT FIVE
​
Leave Anegada or your alternate overnight location and head to Cane Garden Bay. CGB is a perfect anchorage as long as there is not a Northern component to the wind/sea. That is when this bay becomes a surfers' paradise, so be sure to check conditions. If CGB is not an option, spend the night at Little Jost and visit Foxy's Taboo, explore the Bubbly Pool, and/or chill at Bee Line Bar.
​
Either location will make for a fantastic night!
​
There are lots of great places to dine at Cane Garden Bay, like Myett's, Rhythm & Sands, Quito's Gazebo and more! Take some time to check out the Callwood Distillery if you have the time. It's pretty cool!
​
DAY /NIGHT SIX
Head to Jost Van Dyke to spend the entire day! By far the most popular destination in all of the British Virgin Islands. Hang on the beach or in the crystal clear water while sipping on a world famous Painkiller (or few) from Soggy Dollar Bar. Enjoy lunch at Hendo's Hideout with their amazing food and tasty libations. At the opposite end of White Bay, stop by Ivan's Stress Free Bar and chill in one of Kenny Chesney's favorite places in the BVI. And, speaking of stress-free, visit the newest addition to the White Bay family, Ocean Spa BVI. This unique floating spa offers a wide variety of spa services while being gently rocked by the swaying of the ocean and soothing Caribbean breezes.
​
In the evening, dine at Foxy's or one of the restaurants in White Bay and take in the sights and sounds of this world-famous little bar that is a must do when visiting the Virgin Islands.
Start your next morning with a nice beach side breakfast at Corsairs and possibly a little "hair of the dog" if you had one too many Painkillers!
​
DAY/NIGHT SEVEN
​
Plan to spend your last night at Norman Island in The Bight. Just outside of The Bight, don't miss The Indians for some of the most amazing snorkeling in the Virgin Islands. Grab a ball and plan to stay for a while. Once you have picked up a mooring ball in The Bight, you can dinghy over to the Caves for more unbeatable snorkeling. Tucked away in the southeast corner is Pirate's Bight, a family-oriented beach bar and restaurant. With its beautiful setting and calm waters, it is a great place to lounge during the day in their comfy beach chairs. And, believe it or not, Pirate's Bight is even more beautiful in the evening, so plan to enjoy dinner there.
Click here to check out there amazing menu and extensive wine list.
​
Norman Island is also home to the world-famous Willy T. Be sure to drop in for a drink or FEW! Note, the Willy T can go from rated G to a hard R, so be aware if you are traveling with kids. Stopping in around lunch time may be a better option and the kids will have a chance to jump off the upper deck into the beautiful, crystal clear waters you'll find in The Bight.
DAY EIGHT
​
Returning to base . . . Please plan on returning to base in time for you to be off of your boat by NOON. Give yourself plenty of time to refuel and have our team get you into a slip.
​
You'll want to hail Village Cay Marina on Channel 16 to let them know you'll be stopping at the fuel dock. Please pay them directly for fuel.
