For the perfect relaxation in the British Virgin Islands, a stunning archipelago in the Caribbean, nothing compares to a week aboard a private yacht. With The Moorings’ seven-day itinerary, indulge in sun-soaked days, pristine waters, exclusive beach clubs, delicious lobster, and much more. Read on to discover the enchanting experience of chartering your own yacht in the BVI for an entire week.

Welcome to the enchanting British Virgin Islands

After enjoying your first night at the Moorings Marina in Tortola, you'll embark on your adventure the following morning to Cooper Island Resort. This eco-friendly, family-run resort generates its own electricity and water, featuring 40 mooring buoys for visiting yachts. Take a dip or snorkel, and enjoy one of the resort's craft brews on the beach as you sink your toes into the soft sand. Cooper Island Resort boasts one of the finest rum bars in the BVI, offering over 280 varieties of rum—the largest collection on the islands.

Discover the surreal scenery of Virgin Gorda

From Cooper Island, sail to The Baths on Virgin Gorda. This national park features a stunning arrangement of massive boulders that create a labyrinth leading to serene natural rock pools, including one nestled within a small cave. Spend the night at your choice of elegant resorts in the island's North Sound, such as Leverick Bay Resort, Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina, or the Bitter End Yacht Club.

Discover Anegada’s unique wildlife and plants

On the fourth day of your adventure, sail to Anegada to uncover miles of unspoiled beaches, enjoy freshly caught lobster, and ride around on scooters. Spot flamingos, rock iguanas, and sea lavender among the lush vegetation. Relax on the tranquil shores of Loblolly Bay or Cow Wreck Beach, and cap off your day with cocktails at the Cow Wreck Beach Bar. For a thrilling experience, don your diving gear and explore Horseshoe Reef, home to diverse marine life and intriguing shipwrecks.

Explore the stunning shores of Jost Van Dyke

Set sail from Anegada to Jost Van Dyke, a beloved yachting destination known for its sheltered bays, including Great Harbour. This island truly looks like something out of a postcard. Visit for its pristine white-sand beaches and lush landscapes, and stay for the exceptional birdwatching. As the smallest of the four main British Virgin Islands, it hosts several nesting colonies of seabirds, such as the brown pelican and black-headed gull. Before you depart, make sure to stop by the Soggy Dollar Bar in White Bay to sample its legendary specialty drink—the Painkiller.

Dive into the waters of Norman Island

On the sixth day of your getaway, spend time at Norman Island, renowned for its spectacular snorkeling and The Bight, a historic bay favored by the yachting community. Swim among rock formations that resemble Indian headdresses and explore vibrant coral gardens teeming with colorful reef fish. Don’t miss out on the William Thornton floating bar and restaurant, affectionately known as the Willy T.

If your travels align with the lunar calendar, make sure to visit Trellis Bay, where you can enjoy vibrant full moon parties—a perfect way to celebrate before returning to the marina in Road Town, Tortola, on your final day.
