Other information


Virgin Gorda Island

Mooring

Call for a slip at Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor. Alternatively, there are some moorings outside the marina at Spanish Town. We recommend a slip for safety.

Things to do

The Baths is a major attraction on Virgin Gorda, where you can explore the rock formation’s tunnels, pools, and caves.

Facilities

Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour have slips, ice, garbage disposal, and provisions available in town.


Marina Cay

Mooring

A small number of moorings are available for a fee. Holding ground is good.

Dinghy dockage: Dinghy dockage is available.

Things to do

Snorkeling is excellent behind Marina Cay. Ashore is a Pusser’s Company Store, where you can shop for a variety of goods.  Enjoy a hilltop meal while taking in a spectacular view from the Robb White House, the highest point on the tiny island. There’s also a beachside restaurant. Dive BVI offers scuba diving excursions.

Facilities

Marina Cay Marina has fuel, ice, water, garbage disposal, laundry facilities, and showers.


Great Harbour

Mooring

A number of moorings are available for a fee. Holding ground is good. The anchorage can get crowded, so be sure you have plenty of swinging room. FCFS (first come, first served) moorings and BoatyBall are available.

Dinghy dockage: Dinghy dockage is available.

Things to do

A BVI charter wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Foxy’s, one of the more famous restaurants in the Caribbean. It’s located on the eastern end of the beach and has built a reputation in the last 40 years as a hugely popular party Mecca for world cruisers. The casual ambience and friendly staff certainly contributes to its appeal, but the other patrons, many taking a short breather from long ocean passages, are also part of the attraction.

A short hop to the west is White Bay, home to the Soggy Dollar Bar, so named for the yachties who swim to it from their boats, soaking their dollar notes!

Facilities

Water, fuel and ice are available at the main dock in Great Harbour. Provisions are not available at this time.


The Bight

Norman Island, with its popular anchorage “The Bight”, lies on the east side of Flanagan Passage with St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands just across from it to the west. Hilly, scenic, and popular for its superior snorkeling locations, Norman Island is a highly-recommended stop on any BVI charter. Enjoy drinks and dining at Pirate’s Bight Restaurant, serving appetizers, salads, entrees and cocktails including Pirate’s “Irma Punch”. There are plenty of mooring balls available here, and you can enjoy snorkeling at both The Indians and The Caves.

Mooring

Moorings for a fee are plentiful. Anchoring in the northeast or southeast portion of The Bight outside the mooring fields is possible, but it’s easier to just pick up a mooring to avoid worries about swinging room or dragging anchor.

Dinghy dockage: Dinghy dockage is available at the Pirates Bight restaurant and bar.

Things to do

The caves at Treasure Point are a very special snorkeling location. You can swim inside the flooded indentations in the island with an underwater flashlight and observe teeming sea life in the shallow water. Just above the surface, the interior walls of the caves shimmer in purple and rust colored orange. Nearby Pelican Island and The Indians is another major BVI snorkeling and scuba diving location.

You can also visit the legendary floating bar and restaurant, Willy T for a delightful lunch and amazing views. Enjoy a laid-back experience during the day, or an upbeat party scene at night.

Facilities

No facilities for yachts are available.
