British Virgin Islands yacht charter from Scrub Island

When it comes to sailing, the British Virgin Islands are everyone’s idea of a dream destination. This protected cruising area is just as perfect for beginners as for very experienced sailors, and each island has its own story, all linked by incredible line-of-sight sailing.

Discover some of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean, such as The Baths on Virgin Gorda, and world-famous spots like the coral atoll of Anegada, which the Spanish named the Drowned Island.

Our BVI base is at the exclusive Scrub Island Resort, a fantastic place to start your charter, with superb facilities for a luxurious start or finish: restaurants, a pool, spa, dive shop, deli and beach.
