The brief

The BVI — charter sailing, barefoot islands and Necker for the bucket list.

The BVI is, simply, the best charter sailing in the Caribbean. Sixty islands within a single line of sight, calm trades, and an anchorage every two miles. We book yachts out of Tortola, with a finishing land week on Virgin Gorda (Rosewood Little Dix, Oil Nut Bay).

Necker, when available, is the bucket-list private island week.
