Here are two of our favorite routes from Conch Charters. Use them as a starting point. The wind, the weather and your crew get the final say!
The classic BVI week.
Snorkeling, beach bars and the best of the British Virgin Islands. Perfect for a first trip.
Norman Island
A short first sail. Snorkel the Caves, then sunset drinks at the Willy T.
Cooper Island
Snorkel the nearby wreck of the RMS Rhone, then a rum punch at the beach club.
The Baths and North Sound
Get to The Baths early for a mooring, then spend the night in North Sound.
Anegada
The long sail north. Taxi to Tipsy on Cow Wreck Beach (say hi to Ann!), then lobster at Potter’s or Sid’s.
Pick your vibe
Party, snorkel or laid back? The weather and your crew decide. See the options below.
Jost Van Dyke
White Bay and the Soggy Dollar by day, Foxy’s by night.
Back to Road Town
One last swim, then fuel up and return to Conch.
Day 5: pick your vibe.
Party: Cane Garden Bay, with beach bars and live music right on the sand.
Snorkel: Monkey Point on Guana Island, for clear water and plenty of fish.
Laid back: Stay another night on Anegada and explore its empty beaches.
Two countries in one week.
Add St. John in the US Virgin Islands. Clearing customs takes a little extra time, so this route works best if you don’t mind slowing down. Bring passports for everyone!
Norman Island
Snorkel the Caves and celebrate the start of your week at the Willy T.
Over to St. John
Clear out of the BVI at West End, then clear into the US at Cruz Bay. Keep your eyes out for dolphins on the way!
Lameshur Bay
Quiet park moorings and some of the best snorkeling on the island.
Coral Bay and Lime Out
Tie up the dinghy and order tacos from the floating taco bar.
Cruz Bay
St. John’s harbor town, with restaurants, beach bars and live music.
Jost Van Dyke
Clear back into the BVI at Great Harbour, then head to White Bay and the Soggy Dollar.
Back to Road Town
Fuel up and return to Conch, already planning your next trip.
Lara’s tip: Short on time? Skip the USVI and stay in the BVI. There’s more than enough to fill a week, and you’ll spend more time swimming and less time at customs.
