FISHING ON BOARD
ALL OUR BAREBOATS NOW HAVE A FISHING LICENSE,
SO WE CAN OFFER OUR GUESTS FISHING ONBOARD!
The deep blue and crystal clear shallows found in the BVI offer some of the best fishing in the Caribbean. At anchor, or while sailing, drop in a line and reel in a trophy sized Blue Marlin, Yellow and Black Fin Tuna, Wahoo, and Dolphin (Mahi Mahi).
COOPER ISLAND RE-OPENS
Cooper Island Beach Club (opens in a new tab) re-opened right on schedule on April 1st, 2018. It’s one of the most beloved hotel, restaurant and bar in the British Virgin Islands.
CREWED CHARTER GRENADINES
Most crewed yachts will be closed for the season in August, September and October in the Virgin Islands, but some will sail down south and charter in the Grenadines this summer, which is a very beautiful location for chartering too.
The Grenadines are a group of islands that make a superb yacht charter destination. These unique islands have a similar feel to the British Virgin Islands and yet they are much less developed and far less busy. Sailing from island to island can take a bit longer and less protected than in the BVI (the longest sail is around 4 hours), but the sailing conditions are perfect.
With prevailing winds and currents, it is comfortable to sail southward from St. Vincent down to Union Island with the wind and the swell. Steaming north can be more of a struggle but the islands are close enough together that a round trip can easily be accomplished in a week. The smaller islands that make up the Grenadines offer a quieter pace of life, whether it’s on the budget-kind island of Bequia to the luxurious hideaways of Mustique.
