The British Virgin Islands are a top-rated sailing destination, known for their perfect sailing conditions, close-knit island chains, and pristine beaches. Whether you are an experienced sailor or new to the world of yachting, the BVI offers an exceptional setting for a bespoke sailing adventure.
Ideal Sailing Conditions
Sailing in the British Virgin Islands is a dream come true for sailors of all skill levels. The steady trade winds, calm seas, and short distances between islands make it an ideal place to explore by yacht. Whether you're navigating between picturesque islands or anchoring in hidden coves, the BVI provides a safe and serene environment for your yachting experience.
Steady Trade Winds
In the BVI, you’ll enjoy the perfect sailing breeze thanks to reliable trade winds that blow consistently from the northeast at speeds of 10-25 knots.

The waters surrounding the British Virgin Islands are calm and crystal clear, with minimal tides and gentle currents.
