British Virgin Islands
The sailing capital of the Caribbean
The British Virgin Islands are the world's most popular sailing destination - and for good reason. Sixty islands clustered close together, protected from ocean swells, blessed with steady trade winds, and connected by some of the most scenic passages in the Caribbean. Anchor at the Baths on Virgin Gorda, sail to Anegada's reef-protected lagoon, grab a mooring at the Willy T, and end the day watching the sunset from Jost Van Dyke's famous beach bars.
