About BVI
The British Virgin Islands combine world-class sailing, dramatic granite boulders, and a laid-back beach-bar culture within a compact, sheltered archipelago. A small-ship or chartered-yacht itinerary is the best match for mature travelers who want the Caribbean's beauty without being herded through crowded mega-ship ports.
Typical routes
- Eastern Caribbean circle - San Juan to St. Thomas/St. Maarten; ships berth at Road Town and sometimes anchor at Spanish Town.
- Virgin Islands yacht route - St. Thomas to Jost Van Dyke and Anegada; the preserve of small sailing vessels and luxury yachts.
Ports overview
BVI cruise calls are dominated by Road Town, but the archipelago's real magic lies in the tender stops at Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and occasionally Anegada. Sea conditions dictate tender access; the best months are December through May.
Cruise season
High season December-May; hurricane season June-November. Winter and spring offer the most reliable trade winds and calmest anchorages.
