For those interested in a day sail around the islands, there are also day charters at Road Town harbor, the busiest sailing center in the caribbean. Road Town is the capital of the British Virgin Islands, On the Road Town waterfront there are several boutiques and restaurants, where you can dine while watching the fleet at anchor.

Sailing Tortola is a great way to drop anchor at some spectacular secluded beaches on the north side of the island, such as the popular beach bar at Brewer’s Bay, and Cane Garden Bay, plus the popular surfing site at Apple Bay. Many sailors heading out from Road Town harbor make a stop at Devil’s Bay in nearby Virgin Gorda, where you can also visit Prickly Pear National Park. Across the Drake channel from Tortola, sail to Peter Island and Norman Isle, a real pirate getaway that is now deserted. Not to be missed is White Bay at Jost Van Dyke, known as the barefoot island.

When planning a Sailing Tortola vacation, there are all inclusive packages with a choice of guest houses to plush resorts. The airport is at Beef Island, on the eastern tip of Tortola adjacent to Trellis Bay, another popular sailing destination. Tortola is an easy sail from St. Thomas in the American Virgin Islands.
