The British Virgin Islands, an unforgettable experience for boat holiday lovers. A very rich aquatic fauna, coral gardens, canyons, tunnels, caves, wrecks lying on the seabed ... the surprises and underwater discoveries at the BVI never end.
The British Virgin Islands emerge like Venus from the depths of the ocean: a refuge out of the world formed by sixty islands, islets and rocks on the water, arranged in a crown around the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Five centuries have passed since Columbus sighted them; impressed by the unripe charm of the coasts, the admiral christened them Las Once Mil Virgenes, in homage to Sant'Orsola and the companions of his martyrdom. And even today, it is as if the events of history had passed without footprint on the "virgins" of His Majesty. 153 km2 of land, plus 1,489 km2 of territorial waters.
Located in the northeastern portion of the Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands are part of the Lesser Antilles archipelago and are located approximately 97 km east of Puerto Rico, between the 18th and 19th parallel north of the equator and south of the Tropic of Cancer, like the rest of the Caribbean Sea. The archipelago has about 60 islands, of which only 16 are inhabited, and most do not exceed the size of bays, coral islands and outcropping rocks. The most important islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dike and Anegada, plus a small group of islands south of Tortola.

Esperienza indimenticabile.!! il paradiso terrestre vissuto su un lussuoso catamarano con ogni confort a bordo. Equipaggio eccezionale , nuovi compagni di viaggio da tutto il mondo , tour ben organizzato , cibo favoloso , vento mare sole giungla tropicale e tanta allegria. io appena posso riparto subito !!!!
Lo skipper è l equipaggio erano disponibili e gentili. Il tour dovrebbe essere rivisto perché ci sono alcuni posti un po’ sporchi da vedere. La cucina a bordo era tutta indonesiana, piccante è troppo speziata che non a tutti può piacere. Forse una cucina internazionale sarebbe stata più apprezzata.
Vacanza molto bella, catamarano confortevole e personale molto professionale. Dallo skipper Ron, alla hostess Brigitte.
Abbiamo navigato in posti meravigliosi e mangiato pesce fresco tutti i giorni.
L'unica cosa negativa sono gli obblighi a sbarcare (gita di 8 ore alla Digue e giorno seguente 2 ore per il cambio lenzuola), che secondo me potrebbero essere facoltativi.
Nel complesso la vacanza mi è piaciuta tantissimo, rifarei questo viaggio e lo consiglio.
Grazie
Mi sono trovata bene con Dario, mi ha dato tutte le informazioni necessarie.
Ma Dario non è uno skipper ma responsabile.
Il mio voto è positivo e anche lo skipper del posto Ron è stato bravo come tutto l’equipaggio. . Con un catamarano così grande mi aspettavo andasse solo a motore invece siamo sempre andati a vela e questo l’ho apprezzato. Peccato perché avrei prolungato la crociera di più giorni ma non è stato possibile. Non c’erano italiani a bordo , in ogni caso mi sono trovata molto bene con i miei compagni di viaggio . Il catamarano molto bello e confortevole come il servizio a bordo. Abbiamo visitato delle isole bellissime sono ancora qua che sogno.
Sono partita da sola e non essendo un drago in inglese avrei potuto avere qualche difficoltà. Invece la disponibilità, la simpatia e la professionalità dell’equipaggio mi hanno subito messa a mio agio. Vacanza superiore alle aspettative, sia per i servizi offerti, sia per l’imbarcazione dotata di ogni comfort, sia per il personale, sia per l’itinerario svolto. Da ripetere!
Esperienza stupenda, barca dotata di tutti i comfort, organizzazione perfetta. L'unico neo è dato dal fatto che alcune bevande non erano incluse come invece specificato nell'annuncio. Ovviamente l'agenzia mi è venuta incontro per risolvere il problema, quindi non influisce sul giudizio positivo della vacanza.
E' un ottima modalità per poter partire anche da soli.
