After over two years, we are happy to announce that the British Virgin Islands have reopened for day trips!

- Face coverings are no longer required in public spaces.
There is a $37 customs fee per person traveling into the British Virgin Islands.
Things to do in British Virgin Islands:
The Baths
Serene rock pools and massive smooth boulders make The Baths a must-see for first time visitors to the British Virgin Islands. The boulders are the unique geologic result of slowly cooling molten rock and millions of years of weathering. Visitors can explore the sheltered channels to relax in hidden rock pools, or if you’re seeking an extra rush, there are safe spots to do some boulder jumping!
Jost Van Dyke
Jost Van Dyke makes for the perfect party island with over 30 beach bars to choose from! Imbibe at the famous Soggy Dollar Bar—home of the original Painkiller Rum cocktail.
The Indians
The Indians are comprised of four pinnacles jutting out of 50 feet of water. The rock formations and current create prime conditions for sea life in abundant coral gardens, an underwater cavern, and a short tunnel. This is one of the best snorkel/dive locations in the British Virgin Islands.
The Caves
Pirate lore abounds on Norman Island, and The Caves—thought to inspire the book Treasure Island—are no exception. Whether you believe the legends or not, there is an undeniable intrigue to these caves in Privateer Bay. Enjoy the mystery and marine life as you explore the three caves by boat and/or snorkel.
Pro tip: Both The Indians and The Caves can be seen on the same day charter.
With the British Virgin Islands once again open for day trips, we will be
recommending a lot more yacht charters. There is so much to see on both the
U.S. and BVI side! Contact us to book a charter and we can help choose an
itinerary tailored to your party’s individual interests.
