EMMA’S TRIP

TO BRITISH VIRGIN ISLAND

7 DAYS/6 STOPS 

 

Nature’s little secret: island hopping around 60 unspoiled islands


Emma, her husband and 3 kids Helena, Julie and Felix did a sailing trip in the British Virgin Islands archipelago, Comprising 4 main islands and many smaller ones, it’s known for its reef-lined beaches and as a sailing destination. They chose this sailing trip to just free their minds for a couple of days, enjoy the turquoise water, and experience life onboard a sailing boat. If you are just happy to do nothing, just read, swim, snorkel and have a good time, this is a once in a lifetime trip for you. Taking this trip with another family is a very good idea as you can take the time to have good meals and plenty of aperitifs together in this paradise. Their budget for the whole trip was around $ 2400 per person for 7 nights (included food and activities).

GOOD TO KNOW

  • To rent your boat: www.moorings.com/yachts
  • If you pass Necker Island on your way from or to Anegada Island (The Settlement) or to or from Tortola, try to stop for a swim as close as possible to the mainland. There is a very exclusive hotel of Richard Branson. When he visited Necker Island in 1978 he had a vision, one that has resulted in one of the world’s most exclusive island retreats. Dream for 5 seconds!
  • Be prepared to live in a very simple way. The cabins and bathrooms are small but clean and well organized.  It’s still a real luxury to sail around those heavenly islands.
  • Avoid Peak season between December and March. April to June is a great time to sail around the islands.
