Possible
BVI Sail
Plan and Anchorage Information |
|
Your sailing adventure
will begin at Wickham Cay II in Roadtown. There is a
good marina hotel there, The Mariner Inn, and other nearby hotels
in Roadtown. Guests often stay
the night before and after the sailing. The sailing vacation
begins at 11 am. This itinerary can be
modified based upon whatever you choose you want to see.
The Calypso Rose is not a cruise ship, and she can stay an
extra night in a favorite spot, or deviate from the suggested
plan below as you and the other guests on the yacht determine.
|
|
Day 1 --
You arrive at the dock at 11 a.m. and board the yacht.
After a few minutes of settling into your cabin, the Captain
begins a safety briefing, followed by a delicious lunch.
We depart about 1:30 for Cooper Island. While we
prepare dinner and you can swim, snorkel at Cistern Point, or take the dinghy to
shore and enjoy the beach.
|
|
| Day 2 --
It is great to leave early for the
Baths, one of the most popular snorkeling and exploring spots
in the BVI. Breakfast is served as soon as we moor, and
you are off for a fun walk through the boulders and some great
swimming and snorkeling. Lunch is served when you are
hungry.
|
After lunch we will have a beautiful
sail to Gorda Sound for our evening anchorage. We'll watch the sunset and have appetizers and
drinks. Beautiful flowers and landscaping decorate both
Leverick Bay and the Bitter End Yacht Club, and it's fun to
look around, browse for a souvenir in the shops, or have a
drink by the beach. There are many restaurant choices
for dinner.
|
| Day 3 --
Weather permitting, we will sail before 9:30 a.m. for Anegada,
where we will arrive about 12:30. It's a wonderful
island, where you can take a long beach walk, or a taxi can take you to
one of the many beaches for some great snorkeling. Scooters on
the island are fun too. So many choices ...
Anegada is THE PLACE for lobster--a
fresh 3 lb. lobster is a treat.

|
|
Monkey Point
After Monkey Point, we
will continue on to Cane Garden Bay, where we will anchor for
the evening, watch the sunset, and you can have a wonderful
dinner on shore. Cane Garden Bay is just a beautiful
spot, very local, with some wonderful restaurants, blues
music, steel band
and reggae music, and an evening to remember. Dinner is
on shore at Myett's or Quito's Gazebo.
|
Day 4
-- On our sail back from Anegada, we
will make a fun stop at Monkey Point for lunch. Turtles
are frequently lingering there, and beautiful varieties of
fish.

Day 5 --
We have a lot of stops today -- Sandy
Cay, for swimming and island exploration, Sandy Spit for
snorkeling and lunch and more.
Guests love taking the
dinghy to Sandy Cay for a nature walk and swimming.
We anchor for the night in Great
Harbor on Jost Van Dyke where guests enjoy Foxy's or Corsairs
for dinner, and a trip to the Soggy Dollar Bar
is a highlight!
|
Sandy Spit, exceptionally beautiful,
great swimming and snorkeling.
The Soggy Dollar Bar, a fun place to have a
pain killer with friends. |
| Day 6 -- An
early morning start for a fun day. If you want, we can
stop at Soper's Hole for some shopping in the marina
stores. The stops for the day include lunch at the
Indians, the BVI's most famous snorkeling area.
The evening anchorage is at Norman
Island, where usually there is a beautiful sunset, and guests
often want to make a dinghy stop at the Willy T for a final drink on
the unusual and interesting ship.
|
But we cannot forget the Caves at
Treasure Point on Norman Island. Not only is it a calm
and good snorkeling area, but an interesting one as it served
as the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure
Island novel. 
|
| Day 7 --
Disembark at 9:30 am, back in Roadtown for your departure by
air or ferry or stay a night or two to enjoy Tortola by
land. Roadtown has a fun local downtown scene, an
arboretum, a Pusser's store for souvenirs, a local craft
market and some good restaurants for that relaxing end to your
trip.
Sometimes guests choose to stay an
extra night or two in St. John, or St. Thomas, either before
or after their sailing trip, to extend their vacation and see
some of the US Virgin Islands.

YES!! We
will consider other destinations -- other islands and other
sailing venues. Ask us as we are familiar with most of
the Caribbean! |
