Read the GuideTwo Sailors. No Agenda.
My husband and I have been bareboating in the BVIs for decades — twelve charters and counting. I hold a Captain's license; he's a Coast Guard veteran. We've chartered with different companies, anchored in dozens of spots, and made every mistake worth making.
We built this site because the best advice we ever got came from other sailors who'd been there. No ads, no affiliate links, no subscription. Just the kind of honest, practical guidance we wish we'd had on our first charter.
We hope it helps you plan a trip you'll be talking about for years.
