DESTINATIONS
EXPLORE THE ISL ANDS With 60 stunning islands, year-round warmth and amazing crystal clear waters, the British Virgin Islands delivers a phenomenal vacation experience every time you visit. There’s something for everyone in your family to enjoy from relaxing on secluded beaches to snorkeling through famous reefs and wrecks. Combining the natural beauty with the seemingly endless amount of activities - from the cultural, to the adventurous, to the indulgent - each vacation is unique in its own way.
WHITE BAY / JOST VAN DYKE White Bay is one of the best and most beautiful beaches to relax with a drink in hand and is almost always buzzing with activity. Home to Soggy Dollar, where it’s rumored the island favorite drink, the Pain Killer, originated, the soft white sand and turquoise water welcomes guests over and over again.
THE BATHS / VIRGIN GORDA The Baths is unlike any other beach in the Caribbean. It features white sandy beaches framed by gigantic granite boulders formed as a result of volcanoes. Bring along your water shoes, a snorkel and a waterproof camera and explore the series of caves and grottos created by these unusual boulders.
8 |
(813) 644-8071
BITTER END / VIRGIN GORDA A vacation retreat where love of the water, family tradition, and generous Caribbean spirit matter. Enjoy a multitude of water sports, resort amenities, hiking, shopping and dining and marina facilities. Saba Rock is also in the North Sound where dining and tarpon feeding are also favorite stops.
NORMAN ISLAND The inspiration for Robert Lewis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island,” Norman Island is known for pristine beauty, tranquil bays and fantastic snorkeling. This history-rich island is home to the Caves at Treasure Point, the Pirates Bight Beach Club and the infamous Willy T’s floating bar. A short hike on the mountainside offers breathtaking views.
CANE GARDEN BAY / TORTOLA You can spend the day at this pristine, quiet and relaxing beach swimming in the turquoise water, renting a boat or kayak, snorkeling around the beach’s western edge and enjoying the great food. And when the sun goes down, Cane Garden Bay turns up. Happy hours are aplenty and live music wafts from local bars like Quito’s Gazebo, Elm and Myett’s.
MARINA CAY Nestled in a sheltered, emerald green lagoon whose shallow waters are always calm and lukewarm, the island is a stone’s throw from Scrub Island. It is the ideal place for snorkelers to enjoy the colorful fish and sea life that inhabit the coral reef and the lagoon. A Pusser’s Restaurant is also on the island. www.marinemaxvacations.com

DAY 2 Relax on a leisurely day trip to Virgin Gorda, where the main attractions are the famed rock formations at The Baths and explore the crystalline waters around the enormous granite rock boulders. If you have time, now is a good time to shop at Spanish Town, followed by a stop at The Dogs for a snorkel. Head over to the still waters of Gorda Sound and pick up a mooring ball for the night.
DAY 3 Get an early start and enjoy the Bitter End Yacht Club, where you can grab a massage, go windsurfing, snorkeling, or kayaking at the beautiful North Sound before heading to Anegada.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What are my travel options? For those traveling through St. Thomas, you will travel via ferry to the island. If your flight takes you through San Juan, you will need to take a smaller aircraft to Tortola’s Beef Island Airport. Every traveler will need a passport to clear customs at arrival and departure. Where can we stay if our flight arrives the day before charter begins? We can work to reserve a sleep aboard for you. One advantage to a sleep aboard is that you can load all your gear, including any provisioning you want to include, that evening and have an opportunity to become familiar with your boat prior to orientation. A second option is to make arrangements at a local hotel. Do I need a license to captain my yacht? No, there is no license required and depending on your boating experience, you may already be qualified to skipper one of our yachts. We will look at your boating résumé to review your experience and verify that you are approved to captain your charter. Can I hire a captain? Captains, chefs, stewardesses and deck hands are available for hire depending on the size of the yacht you wish to charter. What’s the weather like in the BVI? It’s a tropical paradise with an ideal climate with tradewinds and plenty of sunshine. Daytime temperatures average 80 – 85 degrees, and nighttime temperatures are typically 75 – 80 degrees. What equipment will I find on board?
