The British Virgin Islands, from the water

The British Virgin Islands are made for island hopping: four main islands and more than 50 smaller ones, close enough that the easiest way to see them is by boat. There are three ways to sail them. Charter a yacht and set your own course, follow a lead boat in a flotilla, or hire a skipper and leave the lines to someone else. For a first sail, we’d suggest the skipper. In the water, there is SNUBA, which needs no dive certification, stand-up paddleboarding in calm bays, and catch-and-release sportfishing for wahoo and mahi mahi. Tell us who’s coming and how you like to spend a day, and we’ll plan the boat, the route and the nights ashore.
