Karayipler (BVI) Sailing Tour

Located in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are considered one of the world's most popular sailing destinations thanks to their gentle winds, crystal-clear bays, and short distances between islands. Participants arriving from Turkey via long-haul flights typically reach Road Town on the island of Tortola, where they board a sailboat or catamaran for a one-week island-hopping route; the warm tropical weather and calm seas make sailing both comfortable and enjoyable. With its palm-fringed bays and colorful schools of fish, the region is like a natural aquarium for water sports enthusiasts.

Route and Stops

A typical BVI route starts from Tortola and extends to Virgin Gorda, famous for the renowned rock formations of The Baths on Norman Island, the white sandy bays of tranquil Jost Van Dyke, and the diving spots around Cooper Island and Peter Island. Due to the short distances between islands, it is possible to anchor in multiple bays each day, explore coral reefs with a snorkel, and take short walks in the bays if desired; in the evenings, you can watch the sunset from the boat or on the quiet beaches by the bay.

Season and Climate

The dry season, lasting from November to May, is the ideal time for sailing; during these months, trade winds blow steadily, the sea is calm, and humidity levels are low. Since there is a risk of hurricanes between June and November, programs are generally planned for the winter and spring months; December to March is the busiest and most popular period, and marina reservations fill up early.

Who Is It For?

It is suitable for couples and groups of friends looking for a long-distance, exotic sailing experience and wanting to relax in a tropical setting. The tour includes flight tickets, island transfers, boat accommodation, captain and crew services, basic snorkeling equipment, and daily breakfasts. As the British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory, Turkish citizens must verify current passport requirements and electronic entry permit or visa conditions prior to arrival.
