BVI 2023
The British Virgin Islands are a unique cluster of islands situated in the Caribbean. The BVI are said to be one of the best places in the world for sailing, with consistent 15-20kt winds, crystal clear waters, and calm seas. Since the islands are such a popular sailing route, you will find many sailors traveling or living there long term. There is so much to see on each island and we plan to sail to a different island each day to make the most of this epic vacation.
Travel tips
The BVI are only a boat ride away from the US Virgin Islands, with multiple ferry companies traveling between them every day. You can fly to St. Thomas, USVI for a cheaper flight and then take the ferry to Tortola BVI. Many sailors choose this option although you may also fly straight into BVI via Beef Island airport which cost a little more but much easier. The main currency is USD and the locals depend heavily on tourism and tips for income. Taxis are common on the islands and you will find them waiting outside the airports to take you to your destination.
All travel requirements have been lifted and you can now enter BVI with ease.
