In the summer, air temperatures are 75-90 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can relax on one of the stunning beaches in Tortola, Virgin Gorda or Jost Van Dyke while soaking up the sun. Your remarkable BVI vacation will serve up average water temperatures of 79-84 degrees Fahrenheit, ideal for adding snorkeling to your BVI itinerary and discovering the BVI’s greatest underwater gems like the Wreck of the Rhone.
With The Moorings’ base in centrally located Road Town on the island of Tortola, you can rest assured that you’ll receive the support you need to make your trip a smooth cruising experience from beginning to end.
Throughout the islands, there’s much to see and do from trying delicious restaurants and cocktail bars, to exploring local shops and musical entertainment. Why wait?
Whether you’re at the helm or resting on the sundeck, you’ll find there is nothing like island hopping from the deck of your own British Virgin Islands catamaran.
Why charter a yacht in the BVI?
Location may not be everything but in the British Virgin Islands, it’s what makes cruising so pleasurable. With its stretch of islands in the northeastern part of the Caribbean , charter guests can expect beautiful blue waters flowing into shaded caves and onto soft-sand beaches. Whether you’re on a romantic vacation, family adventure or celebrating something special like a birthday, when you cast off from our base in Tortola, you’ll be saying hello to true paradise.
For the explorers among us, coral reefs surround the coast in an array of colors and are home to just as colorful marine life. The coral atoll of Anegada is the resting point of many a sunken ship and offers amazing underwater views for diving. If you’re looking for a more laid-back vacation, further inland bars, shops and restaurants spill through the winding streets and timeless villages are filled with the famous island ambiance. No matter your idea of a good time, a BVI sailing vacation has something for everyone.
The BVI is also one of the best places to enjoy a sailing vacation if you’re a fan of history. With inhabitants settling as far back as 2,300 years, the history of the BVI features pirates, Dutch settlers and hurricanes. There are plenty of places to soak up history on our BVI itinerary , including the ruins of St Michael’s Church and Fort Charlotte.
We truly couldn’t think of a better place to set sail. Sounds like a dream to you? Build your quote today and chart your own destiny!

Whatever you decide, we know you’ll have a fantastic time! Contact us with any questions about our charter types or yacht options.
At The Moorings, our BVI sailing itinerary starts in Tortola and takes you to the BVI’s must-see places! Starting at Cooper Island, our route will guide you around Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Trellis Bay, Great Harbour and The Bight.
Our BVI itinerary blends the best of both worlds: secluded anchorages and beautiful sunsets, with a bit of laid-back fun partying in the beachside bars, meaning there’s something for everyone!

On your BVI yacht charter, you can spend days relaxing on the golden sands and snorkeling in the turquoise waters, whilst still having enough time to sail around the islands and moor up to explore!
t depends on how much of the British Virgin Islands you want to explore during your idyllic yacht charter as to how many days is enough. If you want to uncover the treasures of each of the BVI’s main islands, you may choose to book for longer than if you’re planning on staying mostly within the Sir Francis Drake Channel for most of your charter.

What Guests are Saying
We had the trip of a lifetime. Captain Theo and Chef/First Mate Martina made this perhaps the most memorable vacation of our lives! The boat was perfect, the service was impeccable, the food amazing, and the experience was just fantastic. We loved getting to experience all of the BVIs in only 6 nights! Theo and Martina customized our itinerary each night for the following day and new exactly how to cater towards our desires – a mix of sailing, relaxing, swimming, island hopping and exploring. 10/10 5+ stars!!!
The cruise was amazing, the staff across the board is the absolute best, and they did everything possible to ensure we had the best possible experience. I felt that the team worked very hard to ensure that every charter has an experience that’s perfect for them. It feels highly customized
