British Virgin Islands (BVI) - Caribbean Sailing

Idyllic conditions for novices and seasoned sailors alike

Why are the British Virgin Islands (BVI) the perfect place for sailing? These verdant Virgin Islands provide constant 10 to 20-knot trade winds to fill your sails, providing the perfect Caribbean sailing conditions for all levels of expertise. The Sir Francis Drake Channel offers deep-water passages to beautiful islands in every direction near our Tortola Sailing School. And whether you’re a first-time sailor or an experienced captain, BVI sailing presents you with turquoise waters, plenty of 75-88°F sunshine year-round, and an inviting blue sky.

Sailing the Virgin Islands is every sailor's paradise – where you sail each day and are never more than few miles from another island. You'll navigate easily using line-of sight-navigation, as you set  your course for countless scenic anchorages with an abundance of shore side diversions.

Experience all that sailing through the Virgin Islands has to offer, because BVI sailing is not only fun and relaxing, but healthy for your soul. When class is over each day, you'll still have time for fun and adventure exploring sandy BVI beaches, lush greenery and crystal-clear waters. From the main capital island of Tortola, sailing BVI offers sailors an incredible variety in a cruising area that is comfortably 32 miles long and 15 miles wide.
