BVI Power Catamaran Itinerary. Come along on a virtual 7-night charter in the British Virgin Islands
This is an example of what we can offer in this fantastic part of the world
DAY 1 of Your BVI Power Catamaran Itinerary
Your charter on Sea Boss begins at noon. Your Captain and Chef will be ready to welcome you at Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola, with a refreshing beverage.
After a safety briefing and yacht orientation, we will depart for Norman Island. While en route, relax on the forward deck and take in the beautiful scenery, smell the fresh air, listen to the ocean, and feel the warm sun on your skin.
Norman Island is a short ride across the Sir Francis Drake Channel, as mentioned in Robert Louis Stevenson’s book Treasure Island! Once anchored, your chef will serve lunch, and we can discuss the plans for the week ahead.
After lunch has settled, we have two great snorkels for you. One is called the Indians, which is made up of four rocky pinnacles that rise around 100ft from the ocean floor. The other is the caves….. If you are brave enough, the Captain will give you a waterproof flashlight to explore underwater deep into the island’s interior. You may even find some treasure!!!
Later in the afternoon, there will be an opportunity to go to the famous Willy T floating bar for a cocktail. If you prefer, you can go to the beach bar at Pirates Bight and watch the sun go down……. Or relax onboard your power catamaran.
In the evening, your chef will serve dinner on the aft deck, and the Captain will make sure your glass is always topped up!
DAY 2
Wake up to the smell of breakfast from the galley…..grab a coffee and sit on the aft deck while taking in your surroundings and listening to nature waking up. The birds sing, and the fish jump out of the water.
If you have plenty of energy, maybe a hike before breakfast is your thing. There is a scenic trail that runs along the ridge of Norman Island. You can get some fantastic views of the anchorage from here.
After breakfast, we head to The Baths on Virgin Gorda. The Baths is an area of massive boulders surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches and warm pools of water. The Captain will take you on a walk through The Baths…. This is a fantastic experience and is not to be missed!
Suppose you would like to drink while here; there is a bar called Top of The Baths, where you can enjoy far-reaching views. You can also grab a beer at Poor Man’s Bar, located on the beach, and sit in the sand with the waves lapping over your feet.
We head back to your power catamaran, where the chef has prepared sticky beef skewers for lunch. Afterward, we move to our next stop, Mountain Point, which is still part of Virgin Gorda. You can snorkel and paddleboard…or float in a chair out the back of your yacht.
Enjoy a Captain’s Cocktail while the sun leaves us for another day. We get some wonderful sunsets at Mountain Point.
After dinner, play one of the many games they have onboard or relax and chat with an after-dinner drink. Then, to bed with full bellies and big smiles, ready to dream about the next day’s adventure
Day 3
After some French Toast and bacon, We take the tender for a short ride to Great Dog for a snorkel. If you are brave enough, you can explore swim-throughs and canyons. The Captain will be with you to guide you the whole way.
Once we get back to your yacht we will pull anchor and head to Leverick Bay Marina, Virgin Gorda. The marina has a small grocery store and gift store, as well as a beach bar, restaurant, and a small spa. There is even a British Telephone box on the dock…….unfortunately Hurricane Irma took some of it away
There are lots of opportunities to explore here…
*Tour the island with one of our friendly local taxi drivers. They can take you to the ruins of the copper mine that was constructed in 1837 and show you the island through their eyes with all their local knowledge.
* Go to Hog Heaven for the best ribs in the islands. From this restaurant, you have amazing views of the neighboring islands, and on a clear day, you can see Anegada, which is 15 miles away—pretty impressive considering Anegada’s highest point is only 28 feet above sea level!
* Hire jet skis or a small sailing dingy and go around the North Sound area.
Between 5 pm and 7 pm, Levick Bay hosts the Michael Beans Happy ARRRRR Pirate Show. This is a very family-friendly show and fun for both children and adults. We can even dress up!
Tonight, there is a great opportunity to go to the amazing Coco Maya for dinner. The restaurant is set right on the beach, and the food is wonderful. We recommend this if you would like to get off the boat for an evening.
DAY 4
After eggs benedict, we travel 15 miles up to Anegada.
This journey will take less than an hour. Once there, we will anchor in Setting Point on the south side of the island.
Anegada (meaning drowned island, named by the Spanish) is a low-lying coral island that differs significantly from all the other mountainous islands in the BVI. It is known for its miles and miles of white sandy beaches and the 18-mile-long Horseshoe Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean and the fourth largest on Earth.
Once anchored in Setting Point, we suggest exploring the island. The best way to do this is to hire a vehicle…Mokes are lots of fun to drive around in. There is no need to be worried about moving as Anegada is only 10 miles long and 2.5 miles wide, with only a few roads….so it is impossible to get lost! The island is tranquil, with only a population of around 320.
The best beaches are located along the north shore; pure white sand and clear, warm, turquoise water here. Cow Wreck Beach Bar is a must-visit, and also Anegada Beach Club for a BLT – Bacon, lettuce, lobster, and tomato wrap Also, while on the island, you can visit the flamingo pond, the Anegada Rock Iguanas, and snorkel off the beach at Flash of Beauty. If you are adventurous, try kite surfing lessons with our friends at the school.
When you are ready, return to your power catamaran, where a snack and Captain’s cocktail will be waiting for you to enjoy at sunset.
Dinner can be onboard Sea Boss or at one of the many lobster restaurants that line the beach in the anchorage. You can smell the fresh lobster being grilled from the boat.
Day 5
Wake up, wear your comfy yacht robe, and head to the aft deck for a light breakfast of avocado toast.
This morning , Caribbean King Kelly will be coming to pick you up in his boat to take you on a tour out to Conch Island
First, you will snorkel the Horseshoe Reef, and if lucky Kelly may be able to get a lobster for you After the reef he will show you Conch Island. This massive mound of conch shells has been created by fishermen throwing their unwanted conch shells into the same spot for hundreds of years.
Fingers crossed Kelly will find a conch for you from which he will harvest the meat. You can then throw the shell onto the island. Don’t forget to make a wish!
On the way back, look out for the Flamingos! Hopefully, you will return with some lobster and conch for the chef to make something with.
After lunch, we will head to Brewers Bay on Tortola. Here, we will anchor for the afternoon and evening. You can paddleboard, play water sports, or relax with a good book—it’s up to you.
Enjoy a captain’s cocktail and watch the sun go down over Jost Van Dyke. Tonight for dinner, we have scallops with curried cauliflower puree, crispy chorizo, and chili oil, followed by a steak with mushroom sauce, roasted potatoes, and asparagus, and then we finish off with a lemon tart.
After dinner, relax on the aft deck and listen to some music…..don’t stay up too late, as we are off to Soggy Dollar tomorrow!!! —
DAY 6
Stu and Hannah will move Sea Boss to Soggy Dollar. No need for you to get up……breakfast will be served with a Bloody Mary when we arrive. It’s important to get a good spot in front of the webcam of course!!!
Swim off your yacht’s stern into the bar and have a world-famous Pain Killer cocktail….paid for with your soggy dollars!! Come to the yacht for lunch or have lunch at Hendo’s Hideout, next to Soggy Dollar. They do great burgers and fish sandwiches.
After lunch, relax on the beach, float in a chair, or chill on the yacht. You can take a quick taxi ride over the hill to check out Foxy’s. The man himself just might be there singing and playing guitar. Take a t-shirt you have written a message on or a flag from your favorite football team to hang in the bar.
Soggy Dollar and Foxys have excellent gift stores for souvenir hats and t-shirts.
Once everyone is back onboard, we head around the corner to Diamond Cay and put down the anchor for the evening. Tonight, your chef has prepared her bacon and zucchini soup, a British Fish and Chips dish, and a traditional English dessert of Eaton Mess.
Maybe a movie in the salon before retiring to your cabin?
Day 7
After breakfast, we take a scenic 20-minute hike to the Bubbly Pool. This natural pool feels like a jacuzzi when the waves crash through a gap between the rocks. It is best when there is a north swell.
Once we are back onboard we will pull anchor and head to Little Harbour on Peter Island. Sit on the bow and take in the wonderful views as we travel along the western point of Tortola and up the Sir Francis Drake Channel.
In Little Harbour, we drop the anchor and then tie lines from the stern to the rocks. Your yacht sits nicely this way, and we can get close to the rocks, so it’s easy to jump straight off to swim and snorkel. Once we are all set, your chef will serve Mahi Mahi tacos for lunch.
During the afternoon the Captain can take you on a snorkel to try and find his favorite thing…. Octopus As well as fish, Little Harbour has its resident turtles to snorkel with, too.
If you would like another walk, there is a short hike to an abandoned house on top of the hill. There are some great views here, and you may even see the odd goat or two!
Sunsets from here are magnificent, so relax with a cocktail and watch the sun go down on the foredeck.
Dinner onboard tonight is Sushi, which your chef has freshly prepared. After dinner, we all chat about what everyone’s favorite part of the week has been
DAY 8
Unfortunately, it is nearly time for you to depart.
After breakfast, enjoy your last swim or snorkel in the warm, pristine waters of Little Harbour. Then, relax on the sun pad or upper aft deck sun loungers and feel the sunshine on your skin.
Now, it’s time to head back to Nanny Cay. En route, relax, and take in the beautiful views. Make sure you write in the guest guest book!
Once back at Nanny Cay, we have time for a group photo before your taxi arrives. We never say goodbye…..We say see you again!
