Tortola Sample Itinerary
Day 1. Arrive at the Moorings Base in Road Town,Tortola BVI for a 6PM evening start. Go to the
supermarket and obtain provisions. Return to the air-conditioned yacht. Put away groceries
and gear while watching the sunset. Perhaps take a night dinghy ride.
Day 2. Road Town to Trellis Bay via the Indians. Sail to the Indians (6NM), and go snorkeling.
After lunch, sail to Trellis Bay (10NM). Catch a mooring and dinghy to shore. Eat dinner at the
"Loose Mongoose". Walk 5 minutes to the airport to pick up any late-arriving crew members.
Day 3. Trellis Bay to North Sound via the Baths. Sail to the Baths (5NM) and dinghy in. Enjoy
snorkeling at the most photographed site in the BVI, then eat lunch and swim at the pool at the
restaurant that overlooks the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Continue to North Sound, and moor at
Saba Rock or get an air-conditioned slip at the famous Bitter End Yacht Club. (A briefing is
required at the Moorings Mini-base at Saba Rock before sailing to Anegada).
Day 4. North Sound to Anegada (14NM). This is the trickiest sail in the BVI due to shallow water.
Moor in the harbor and eat fresh lobster on shore. Snorkel the reef and wrecks that surround
the island.
Day 5. Anegada to Jost Van Dyke (18NM). Get an early start, and enjoy a nice wing-on-wing
downwind sail to Jost Van Dyke. Stop at The Dogs or Sandy Cay for snorkeling and lunch.
Anchor in Great Harbour, home of "Foxy's". Enjoy his music and jokes, and be sure to ask him
to show you the wooden boat the island teenagers are building behind the restaurant.
Day 6. Yost Van Dyke to Norman Island (7NM). Sail to Norman Island, the setting for Robert
Lewis Stevenson's "Treasure Island". (Stop at Soper's Hole en route for souvenirs or to drop
off crew at the ferry if needed). Enjoy drinks and the atmosphere at the infamous "Willy T's", a
bar/restaurant located on an old lumber schooner moored in the harbor. The adventurous may
want to try to win a t-shirt. Eat dinner there or at "Billy Bones Pirates Bight" on the beach.
Day 7. Norman Island to Road Town (7NM). Take the dinghy and snorkel "The Caves". Enjoy
your last day of sailing, and return the boat to the Moorings Base by noon. Pick a destination
for your next sailing adventure on the flight home.
This is just one sample itinerary. We will work with you to design the trip of your dreams.
SCUBA divers may want to meet dive boats for rendezvous dives, or bring tanks and gear on
board. We have coordinates for most dive sites in the BVI including the Rhone and Chikuzen.
