Sailing in the British Virgin Islands was fantastic.
We just returned from a fantastic trip to the beautiful British Virgin Islands The weather could not have been better. We charted a 44 Ft. sailing catamaran named Peacemaker, using Conch Charters in Road Town. After flying into the nearby airport, Conch Charters had transportation ready to take us the short distance to the marina. Since we chose to spend the night aboard in the marina on the first night, it was nice to find the boat super clean with the air conditioning on and ready to go. We loved Peacemaker. Sailing and driving her under power was a breeze. Even though she is a pretty big catamaran, she was super easy to tack. The sails were crisp and the lines appeared new. Three of the couples aboard had never sailed before and they were all pleasantly surprised at the stability and comfort of catamaran sailing. Bernadette, our chart briefer was very knowledgeable about the islands, best restaurants and bars. She provided us with possible itineraries and provided answers to our questions. James our boat briefer knew every inch of the boat and provided a lot of great information. Every day was another beautiful place to see and explore. It would be hard to pick our favorite. We visited Norman Island, Marina Cay, The Baths, Bitter End Yacht Club, Cane Garden Bay, and White Bay/Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyck. We loved the Pirates Bight Restaurant on Norman Island, Saba Rock Restaurant and swimming in front of the Soggy Dollar. We were also able to tour private Necker Island with the amazing tour guide, Gumption. We did some great snorkeling at the Indians, Salt Island, North Sound and Monkey Point. I was impressed with the water visibility and the amount of sea life.
