VPM Yachtcharter

Day 1: Beef-Island

Transfer from the airport to Nanny Cay Marina. Check-in at 6 pm. Reception and Dinner on board. Your sailing cruise starts at the heart of a fantastic island paradise.

Day 2: Beef-Island - Peter Island - Salt Island

Cast off to Peter Island. You will anchor in the Deadman's Bay: the beach, surrounded by palm trees, is said to be one of the ten most romantic beaches in the world. Be on the lookout for turtles, take a walk along the beach, or discover the world under the turquoise colored surface via snorkel and flippers. In the afternoon you will sail towards Salt Island. The wreck of the HMS Rhone lies here, a mail boat that sank in a hurricane in 1867.

Day 3: Salt Island - Norman Island

Breakfast on board. Sail to Norman Island. After spending some time sailing through the shiniest of waters, you will reach the Bay "The Bight", which historically was a popular hideout for pirates. Here you have the chance to walk through Norman Island, a real Treasure Island. An old legend dictates that a pirate called Morgan hid a treasure trove in the caves but never returned to get it. Who knows? Maybe it would be a good idea to take the novel "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson with you as reading material. Dinner takes place on board. After that you should not miss a cocktail on "Willi-.T", a former Baltic merchant vessel, now a bar-restaurant. Parties here are not a rare occasion!

Day 4: Norman Island - Tortola

Drive to Tortola, Soper's Hole, West End. Ramble through the small shops in this colorful Caribbean village, before you continue your journey to Jost van Dyke. You will anchor in the wonderful White Bay today. Enjoy the "whitest beach" of the Caribbean, and the locally discovered "painkiller". However, your every day worries will vanish even without this popular drink in this picture book scenery.

Day 5: Tortola

Today’s destination is the "Cane Garden Bay", Tortola. On the way you will visit Green Cay or Sandy Cay, which are rather small islands. Their crystal clear water invites swimmers and snorkelers. Relax! Seeing the Cane Garden Bay from the water's view, it serves as the perfect beach scenery. However, hiding behind it, there is a rather active little village with lots of small restaurants and beach bars typical of the British Virgin Islands. Enjoy!

Day 6: Tortola - Virgin-Gorda - Bitter End

Transit to "The Baths" in Virgin Gorda, which were personally named by no other than Christopher Columbus. The Baths in the south will surely fascinate you, for you will find white sandy beaches between exceptional rock formations. Those rock formations simultaneously form highly interesting seawater pools and grottoes. After that, you will continue sailing to the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. Anchoring in Bitter End.
