Your sailing trip

A week of cabin charter sailing from Tortola through the southern British Virgin Islands, with stops at Norman Island, Peter Island, Cooper Island, Salt Island, Ginger Island and The Baths on Virgin Gorda.

This cruise starts and ends in Road Town, on Tortola, and winds through the southern part of the British Virgin Islands, a compact cruising ground where islands sit close together and the trade winds blow steadily for most of the year.

Distances are short, so each day leaves plenty of time for sailing, swimming and snorkelling. The route is a sample and can be adapted to the weather, the sea state and the wishes of the group.

Anchorages lie in clear turquoise water, with reefs and caves close to the boat. Highlights include the caves and coves of Norman Island, the quiet beaches of Peter Island, the salt pond of Salt Island, the wreck of the RMS Rhone nearby and the granite boulders of The Baths on Virgin Gorda.

Ashore, small beach bars, short island walks and sunset viewpoints give a taste of the local atmosphere, while the evenings are relaxed and unhurried.

Life on board is sociable and easy-going, with a different anchorage almost every night and time every day to enjoy the warm Caribbean sea.

Itinerary

Day 1
Road Town to Norman Island
Guests join the boat in Road Town, settle into their cabins and meet the group. After the briefing the boat sails across to Norman Island, where the caves and the rocky islets known as The Indians offer some of the best snorkelling in the area. The first night is spent at anchor in a sheltered bay.
Day 2
Peter Island
A short sail leads to Peter Island, with its quiet bays and white-sand beaches. Deadman's Bay is a classic stop for a swim and a beach walk, and a sunset hike gives wide views over the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
Day 3
Cooper Island
The route continues to Cooper Island, a small island with a calm anchorage, a pleasant beach and a rum bar ashore. Time is free for swimming, snorkelling and a stroll along the shore.
Day 4
Salt Island
Salt Island is known for its salt pond, its short hikes and the beaches where sea glass washes up. The wreck of the RMS Rhone, one of the best known wrecks of the Caribbean, lies just off the island and can be explored by snorkellers and divers.
Day 5
Ginger Island
A short crossing leads to uninhabited Ginger Island. The clear water of South Bay is perfect for kayaking and snorkelling, and the reefs nearby are a favourite of divers.
Day 6
Virgin Gorda: The Baths and back to Road Town
Virgin Gorda is home to The Baths, where giant granite boulders form pools and sea-filled passages along the shore. After time ashore the boat heads back towards Road Town. After the last night aboard, guests disembark the following morning.

Important Note
This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, sea state and operational requirements. The captain may adjust the route, anchorages and overnight stops to ensure safety, comfort and the best possible sailing experience.

Cruise price details

Yacht - Aluminium sailing trimaran

A large aluminium sailing trimaran with room for twenty guests in ten staterooms, each with its own private bathroom, and generous deck space for sailing, diving and relaxing.

This three-hulled sailing yacht welcomes up to twenty guests in ten spacious staterooms. Every stateroom can be arranged with one queen bed or two twin beds, and has its own private bathroom and either individual air conditioning or opening hatches that let in the gentle sea breeze.

Life on board happens in several comfortable areas. The air-conditioned saloon is the place to unwind with a drink from the self-service bar, a book or a board game, while the wide aft deck serves as the dining area and the meeting point for water activities. The top deck has cushioned mats for sunbathing and stargazing at anchor.

The yacht carries a generous collection of water toys, including sea kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, small sailing catamarans, water skis and knee boards, and a full set of diving and snorkelling gear stays on board for those who want to explore the reefs.

A crew of about seven, with a captain, chef, engineer, dive staff and stewards, looks after guests throughout the cruise, and guests are welcome to lend a hand with the sails whenever they wish. The atmosphere is sociable and friendly, like a small floating hotel.

Travel organizer tips

What to pack for a sailing holiday?
Pack smart for your yacht charter: choose a soft bag instead of a hard suitcase, bring lightweight layers, reef-safe sunscreen, and non-slip shoes for onboard use. A couple of swimsuits and motion sickness remedies can also make a big difference. Each boat has limited storage, so pack light but wisely! Need help building the perfect list?

What’s a Typical Day Like on a Yacht Charter?
Start your day with a swim in a quiet bay, sail to hidden beaches or seaside villages, and enjoy a slow lunch on deck. Afternoons mean snorkeling, sunbathing, or exploring ashore. As the sun sets, your boat anchors in a scenic cove or near a harbor ready for a relaxed dinner and a night under the stars. Curious about the full experience?
