7-day British Virgin Islands sailing holiday

A sailing trip through the British Virgin Islands, starting and ending in Tortola, with stops at Norman Island, Peter Island, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, and Guana Island.

Virgin Gorda is stunning, you might want to hike to the Baths and explore the hidden beaches nearby. Anegada is a standout—flat, wild, and ringed with coral reefs—perfect for a fresh seafood lunch. Then we make our way west, anchoring in quiet bays at places like Guana Island and Great Harbour. These less-visited spots offer crystal-clear snorkelling and unforgettable sunsets, before we sail back toward Tortola with one last stop at Norman Island for a swim through caves and a toast at the floating bar.

Mentioned islands are indicative, as the routes we plan and the islands we visit always depend on sailing conditions dictated to us by Poseidon. As true SeaScapers we always make sure you’ll have the trip of a lifetime.

Sample Itinerary

DAY 1 – After breakfast we’ll be heading out to get an early start and tack up the Sir Francis Drake Channel to The Baths on the southern end of Virgin Gorda. You can spend the whole day exploring the tunnels, caves and crystal-clear pools. Enjoy a little lunch on board before heading back across the channel towards Marina Cay for the night.

DAY 2 – We sail north to Saba Rock and Oilnut Bay area both Gorgeous stops for chilling and swimming, tonight we BBQ on board!

DAY 3 – If the weather permits, today we sail to Anegada. In addition to the beautiful white beaches, you will fall in love with the Roseate Flamingos, rare rock iguanas, manmade conch islands and splendid plant species like sea lavender. The fantastic outer reef, Horseshoe Reef, is rich in marine life and perfect for snorkeling or diving and dotted with shipwrecks. Anegada is the most scenic water sports playground in the region, especially for kiteboarders and paddle boarders alike.  And for Dinner…? Lobster of course!  

DAY 4 – We sail southwest to the Dog islands, the great Dog famous for the amazing snorkeling. We have lunch there before casting off for our overnight stop at either the Scrub Islands or a mooring ball at Marina Cay. Dinner ashore somewhere or perhaps on the boat, we let you choose!

DAY 5 – As the sun rises, we’ll have an early start sailing west, Towards Jost Van Dyke, We’re stopping a for lunch and morning snorkel at Monkey Point, Guana Island. Monkey Point is another national park, with an abundance of marine life. Yellowtail snappers, bluestriped grunts and yellow jacks, along with turtles and tarpon call this home. After lunch we continue to Great Harbor on Jost Van Dyke, home to Foxy’s where they are well known for live music and barbecues on the weekends. With this in mind, it makes for a great stop for the night.  if anyone is up for it, we’ll take the dinghy and head around the point into White Bay. Enjoy a ‘Painkiller’ at the Soggy Dollar Bar before heading back around to Great Harbor for dinner.

DAY 6 - We depart Great harbour and sail south to the Indians, this is also a really famous snorkeling spot, in fact one of the best in the BVI’s. We’ll hang out here for a few hours before heading back to the Nanny Cay marina that evening.
