|  |  |  |  |  |  | When it comes to Caribbean sailing, there is nowhere better than the Virgin Islands (BVI) : it is one of the finest and safest yacht charter areas in the world with steady trade winds, plenty of sunshine year round and numerous sheltered harbors.
The quiet coves where Drake, Columbus and Blackbeard used to anchor are once more havens for fleets of sailing vessels and the modern adventurers who come to explore the Virgin Islands. For those seeking to get away from it all, this is the place: there is no golf, no gambling, no major entertainment center, only yacht charter holidays in the water with others seeking the same relaxing enjoyment, with charming local bars and restaurants on the various islands to share the passion. There is a deep sense of peace in the Virgin Islands one finds hard to forget, which keeps bringing the same people back over and over again. The waters are superb for swimming, snorkelling, diving and yacht charter. Most of the Virgin islands have a volcanic origin which gives character to the terrain.
Diving :
The Virgin Islands are recognized as one of the world's top diving and snorkelling spots with a vast array of colourful tropical fish at every anchorage and the wreck of the R.M.S. Rhone regarded by many as the best wreck dive in the western hemisphere.
Many professional dive shops provide complete services from equipment rental and air tank refills, to tours and instruction.
Strong points :
Without doubt, yacht charter is the best way to discover Tortola and the surrounding islands.
Ferrys transfer passengers from west Tortola and from Road Town towards the other Virgin Islands, and there are regular flight connections from Beef Island Airport towards San Juan, Puerto Rico and St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
Leisure activities : bars and restaurants, beautiful long beaches, excellent scuba diving facilities and modern water sport infrastructure.
