16 Island Hopping Heaven Once a playground for pirates, the BVI’s are a haven for yachts and sailboats. T he British Virgin Islands are undoubtedly the sailing capital of The Caribbean. With 60 islands to explore in only 60 square miles, you can always see land and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on different islands. Following the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017, the marinas, bars, restaurants and anchorages are back up, brand new and welcoming sailors. The un-crowded beaches and beautiful reefs are as always. Perfect for families or groups of friends and recently launched The Moorings, Dream Yacht Charters and Sunsail are now offering very affordable sailing “by the cabin” on their luxury yachts for couples and singles. With non-tidal waters, year round sunshine and some of the friendliest locals in the world you can experience an authentic Caribbean holiday.
