BVI Bareboat Itinerary
7 Day BVI Monohull Bareboat Sailing Itinerary
A monohull bareboat charter in the British Virgin Islands offers countless activities for your group to enjoy in the comfort of your own yacht. White-sand beaches, scuba-diving, conch, island hopping and some of the most famous bars in the world are what to expect from your BVI sailing itinerary. The BVI was badly hit by Hurricane Irma in September 2017 however the islands have made a speedy recovery, with new boats being added to fleets across the BVI. Do take a look at our article on the BVI Post Irma to see how the islands have recovered following IRMA.

Day 3 - The Baths, and Trellis Bay, Virgin Gorda
Arrive early at The Baths to avoid the crowds and queues to explore these spectacular rocks, as late morning and early afternoon can be a bit busy. Spend the morning and have lunch here as well, while marvelling at the impressive formations.
Spend the night at Trellis Bay; either dine on your yacht or head ashore to one of many places to eat ashore. There are also monthly full moon parties at Trellis Bay, so make sure you don’t miss that if you’re there at the right time. There’s also a chance to buy local arts and crafts to take home as souvenirs.
Day 4 - Bitter End Yacht Club, Virgin Gorda
Sail to North Sound on Virgin Gorda – if you want to stop off en route for snorkelling, it’s great at the Dogs or Mountain Point. You have quite a choice of places to anchor overnight as well! The Bitter End Yacht Club offers entertainment and music most nights, and you can also pick up provisions, try your hand on a Hobie Cat or practice your windsurfing for a sample of the many opportunities on offer. Or you can use the marina at Leverick Bay where there’s a good restaurant for your evening meal if you’re looking for something quieter, and if neither of those tickles your fancy why not go to Yacht Club Costa Smeralda to look at the superyachts?
You could dress up for the evening and go to Biras Creek, where there are an evening dress code and first class service at one of the best restaurants and wine cellars in the British Virgin Islands.
