The British Virgin Islands (BVI) comprise over 50 islands in the Caribbean. Everyone’s first question is
how to decide where to go. These islands are perfect for sailing and offer a
wide range of charter companies to choose from. With great sailing winds, relaxed locals, and plenty of small islands and beaches, the BVI is a favorite destination for many vacationers. Other common questions include “When should I go?” and “
What should I pack?” Eventually, people also ask
how to get there and
how to buy groceries for a sailing trip.
