If you’re looking for the perfect sailing trip, a trip that creates memories to last a lifetime, then the British Virgin Islands is the destination for you.
Picture this… you’re sitting on the deck of a yacht at sunset with your loved one seated beside you. you’re anchored just off the shoreline of one of the many islands located in the BVI. You can see people milling about at a local restaurant on the nearby shore, but around you, the air is quiet and peaceful, creating the perfect romantic setting.
As you and your girlfriend sit, holding each other’s hands and watching the sun’s setting rays reflect off the water, you gently slip a ring onto your her finger as you ask for her hand in marriage.
Sounds beautiful, right? Well, this could happen!
If you’re planning a trip to the British Virgin Islands, and you want to make sure your sailing trip is special, and ends with a “yes,” there are certain places that you’ll want to visit that will leave you both breathless and feeling like you’re in another world, created especially for the two of you.
One such place is the beach at Monkey Point on Guana Island. It’s the perfect location for a romantic picnic for two, complete with cheese, crackers, fruit, chocolate and wine.
Afterwords, you could lay out on the white, sandy beach, soaking up the sun’s rays. Or you could take a swim in the water.
On a different day, you could spend time hiking together on the many trails that are found on the islands and trails that allow you to see the local wildlife, like flamingos or brown boobies.
These are just a couple of ideas that would help make a perfect sailing trip and lead to the perfect ending to a perfect vacation.

Finding the best snorkeling locations in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) will ensure an exciting sailing vacation for you and your family. The sea life of the region is awesome no matter where you go, but when you find the best place to view these amazing sights, your trip will become even more memorable.
Snorkeling is like swimming in that you don’t need any special clothing other than a bathing suit, but it does require a breathing device which Captain Terry will provide for you.
The British Virgin Islands offer many exotic locations you can snorkel, but here are the top four hot spots for this fun family activity:
1. Loblolly Bay
Loblolly Bay is a very popular site for snorkeling. The lush green landscape surrounds the most vibrant blue water you can find. You won’t have to go far to discover underwater caves, reefs, and schools of fish and shrimp. And the sandy sea floor there is unlike any other location!
2. The Baths
The Baths are very popular as well, which make this another popular location. Snorkelers will find awesome coral ledges and caves that words can’t even describe, unlike any others you may have seen elsewhere.
3. Green Cay
Green Cay is a wonderful place for snorkelers! It offers amazing views of sea life such as angelfish, minnows, snappers, and tarpon. You’ll also see white foaming surf under the water and colored sponges, making this an adventure to remember.
4. The Indians
The Indians offer many things to snorkelers as well. You can enjoy sea creatures, plant life, and other underwater wonders. And the colors are spectacular–above and below the water.
Snorkeling is an exciting, adventure sport that never gets old because you see something new and amazing every time you go. Whether itís a new location or the same place time and time again, once you take your first trip, you’ll be hooked.
The British Virgin Islands offer many locations to snorkel. The four listed here are some of the more popular but there are others and Captain Terry can help you decide which will work best for you.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a tropical paradise full of beauty and views that are unsurpassed by any in the world. But some of these views don’t lie above you, or even around you. In fact, some of the best sights you can see on a BVI sailing vacation are beneath you! These are the fascinating shipwrecks that lie in these beautiful waters.
During your BVI sailing vacation, ask Captain Terry to take you to the RMS Rone. The Rone is not only a historical and magnificent ship, it is also the setting of many different movies, such as The Deep.
Because it has been underwater since 1867, its body is now the home of an entire ecosystem with tropical fish darting around, along with barnacles, coral, and sponges decorating the awesome frame. The hatch is located in about eighty feet of water, making it a perfect adventure for deep sea divers who want an even closer look at the ship’s interiors. Even swimmers who don’t want to go down too far can check out the propeller, which lies in about twenty feet of water.
After that, ask Captain Terry to whisk you twelve miles off the shore of Virgin Gorda, where the shipwreck of the Chikuzen found its way to the bottom of the ocean floor. These waters are home to aquatic life such as sting rays, eagle rays, snappers, barracudas and nurse sharks. Due to the choppy waters and the sometimes dangerous wildlife in the water, its best to only take a dive to the Chikuzen with a qualified and experienced diver.
Next drop anchor at the harbor located in Anegada Island and take a deep sea diving adventure to explore many shipwrecks such as the Rocus and the Paramatta, which are in the waters just a short distance away. These wrecks date back to 1929 and 1859, respectively, and are just two of many of the ships-turned-ecosystems that you’ll find in your diving adventure.
Just be sure to ask Captain Terry to pack the charter boat with lots of scuba gear before you go–these wrecks require more than snorkeling gear.
