Giorno 1 / 7

Giorno 1

Tortola → Peter Island

Begin your charter from Tortola, the sailing hub of the BVIs. Your first stop is Pelican Island, home to the world-famous snorkel site known as The Indians. Here, you’ll find dramatic rock pinnacles surrounded by tropical fish, coral gardens, and crystal-clear waters. Sail on to Peter Island, where you can anchor in Great Harbour or Little Harbour. Peter Island offers secluded bays, hiking trails, and calm anchorages perfect for your first evening onboard. Enjoy a swim before dining at anchor under the stars.

Cosa fare

Snorkel The Indians (Pelican Island) coral pinnacles

Anchor in Great Harbour or Little Harbour for sunset swim

Walk Peter Island’s south-coast trails

Dine at anchor under the stars

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

BVI National Parks Trust mooring at The Indians is first-come, first-served (US$30/night). Pick up the buoy before 11:00 in season — it fills fast. Great Harbour on Peter Island has free anchoring on sand at 6–10 m.

Giorno 2

Peter Island → Cooper Island

After breakfast, sail to Salt Island to explore the RMS Rhone, one of the Caribbean’s most famous wreck dives. Divers and snorkelers alike will be enchanted by the coral-covered remains of this 19th-century steamship. From here, set course for Cooper Island and pick up a mooring ball at Manchioneel Bay. Snorkel at Cistern Point for vibrant marine life, then head ashore to the eco-friendly Cooper Island Beach Club for cocktails, Caribbean dishes, and a famous rum bar.

Cosa fare

Dive or snorkel the RMS Rhone wreck off Salt Island

Snorkel Cistern Point reef on Cooper Island

Sample the Cooper Island Beach Club rum tasting flight

Watch the sunset from Manchioneel Bay

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

Cooper Island Beach Club moorings (US$30/night) book up by 14:00 in winter — VHF channel 16 ahead to reserve, or arrive before noon. Holding outside the field is poor coral, so a mooring is the safe choice.

Giorno 3

Cooper Island → Scrub Island

Day three is your longest passage, sailing north to Anegada, the only coral atoll in the BVIs. Known for its endless sandy beaches and shallow turquoise waters, Anegada feels like another world. Spend your day exploring Loblolly Bay or Cow Wreck Beach, spot flamingos in the salt ponds, or rent a scooter to explore the island. In the evening, enjoy freshly caught lobster, a specialty of Anegada. On your way back, stop at The Dogs, a small group of islets ideal for snorkeling. End the day at Scrub Island, where you can enjoy a luxury marina, resort facilities, and fine dining.

Cosa fare

Lobster dinner at Anegada Reef Hotel or Cow Wreck Beach Bar

Snorkel at Loblolly Bay reefs

Spot pink flamingos in the inland salt ponds

Snorkel The Dogs on the return passage

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

Anegada channel is shallow and reef-fringed — only attempt with the marked buoys in good light (10:00–15:00) and under 20 kt winds. Pick up a mooring at Setting Point (US$40/night) rather than anchor; turtle-grass patches make holding inconsistent.

Giorno 4

Scrub Island → Jost Van Dyke

Cruise west to lively Jost Van Dyke, one of the most famous islands in the BVIs. Anchor in White Bay, where you can swim ashore to the legendary Soggy Dollar Bar, home of the original Painkiller cocktail. For overnight, move to Great Harbour and enjoy dinner at Foxy’s Tamarind Bar, where live music and a festive atmosphere make for an unforgettable Caribbean night. If you prefer tranquility, anchor in Little Harbour, where lobster dinners at Sidney’s Peace & Love are a tradition.

Cosa fare

Swim ashore at White Bay for a Painkiller at Soggy Dollar Bar

Dinner at Foxy’s Tamarind Bar in Great Harbour

Lobster dinner at Sidney’s Peace & Love in Little Harbour

Snorkel the Bubbly Pool tidal blow-hole on the north shore

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

White Bay is exposed to north swell — pick it only when the swell forecast is under 4 ft from the north. Move to Great Harbour for the night; moorings (US$30) and good sand-bottom anchoring at 6–8 m.

Giorno 5

Jost Van Dyke → Cane Garden Bay

After a relaxed morning, sail to Great Thatch, a peaceful and undeveloped island that offers great snorkeling in calm weather. Continue to Cane Garden Bay on Tortola, one of the most iconic anchorages in the BVIs. With its wide sandy beach, palm trees, and colorful beach bars, Cane Garden Bay is a favorite among sailors. Visit the Callwood Rum Distillery, operating for over 400 years, and enjoy live music at Quito’s Gazebo or sunset cocktails at Myett’s.

Cosa fare

Tour the 400-year-old Callwood Rum Distillery

Live music night at Quito’s Gazebo

Sunset cocktails at Myett’s Garden & Grill

Beach swim and stand-up paddle on the wide sandy bay

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

Cane Garden Bay is exposed to north and north-west swell from December through February — moorings on the north end of the bay are most protected. Avoid in winter cold-front conditions; switch to Brewer’s Bay or Soper’s Hole instead.

Giorno 6

Cane Garden Bay → Norman Island

Head south to Norman Island, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Stop at The Caves, where you can snorkel into sea caves filled with shimmering schools of fish. For another underwater highlight, visit The Indians again if you missed it earlier in the week. Spend the night in The Bight, Norman Island’s main anchorage. Here, you’ll find hiking trails with panoramic views, lively bars, and calm waters for a perfect overnight stay.

Cosa fare

Snorkel The Caves at Treasure Point on Norman Island

Hike the ridge above The Bight for panoramic views

Drinks at Pirate’s Bight or the Willy T floating bar

Sunset swim in The Bight before dinner

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

The Bight has the BVI’s largest mooring field (~70 buoys, US$30/night) — even in peak season there is usually room. Free anchoring is permitted in the south-east corner on sand at 8–12 m.

Giorno 7

Norman Island → Tortola

On your final day, enjoy a leisurely morning swim before sailing back to Tortola. Depending on your base, you’ll return to Road Town, Nanny Cay, or another marina for refueling and checkout. Spend one last evening onshore, dining at a waterfront restaurant and reflecting on a week of unforgettable memories.

Cosa fare

Final morning swim and snorkel in The Bight

Top up fuel and water at Road Town or Nanny Cay

Sunset dinner at a Tortola waterfront restaurant

Hand-back inspection with the charter operator

Consiglio per l'ormeggio

Most charter contracts require return alongside by 16:00 Saturday. Plan to depart The Bight by 11:00 — the south-east trades push you back gently but Drake Channel gets busy with returning fleets after 14:00.
