One week BVI itinerary sailing 

If you’re looking to explore as much of the British Virgin Islands as possible during your vacation, we recommend a week-long Tortola boat rental. Of course you can book your boat charter for a little less than a week or for even longer than seven days. Plus, you could even opt to extend your trip and explore the U.S. Virgin Islands, too! But to give you an idea of the variety of destinations you can explore on your trip, here’s a sample one-week itinerary sailing in the BVIs..

Begin your Tortola boat charter by setting sail for Normal Island. Try snorkeling in the legendary Caves nearby Bight anchorage for a truly breathtaking experience, since the caves inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island.” We suggest spending the evening watching the sunset and dining on some local grub. We recommend visiting the newly relocated Willy T’s for an iconic BVI experience at The Bight. You won’t regret spending some time at this alltime local favorite spot! 

On day two, head to Peter Island for some more snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing on gorgeous beaches. Over the next few days, make your way all around the BVIs, stopping at locations like Salt and Cooper Island, Ginger Island, Virgin Gorda, Oil Nut Bay, Anegada, and finally back to Jost Van Dyke. There are so many smaller cays and hidden beaches to explore in this paradise that you can’t go wrong with anywhere you stop during your BVI sailing tour.
