* This represents just a glimpse of the incredible experiences awaiting you on a private yacht vacation aboard Serenity in the BVI. Each journey is meticulously tailored to your preferences and wishes. With Serenity's skilled crew at your service, expect nothing short of a personalized vacation of a lifetime!
Norman Island and The Indians
Norman Island, often credited as the inspiration behind Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," beckons with a plethora of thrilling adventures awaiting exploration.
A highlight of Norman Island is undoubtedly The Caves, steeped in legends of hidden treasures yet cherished for their breathtaking snorkeling experiences. Dive into a world adorned with thousands of vibrant orange cup coral and crimson sponges adorning the cave walls, offering a truly mesmerizing underwater spectacle.
A short distance northwest of Norman Island lies The Indians, a cluster of small islets rising from the azure waters, providing an exceptional snorkeling adventure. Renowned for its profusion of marine life and vibrant coral, some enthusiasts proclaim it as among the finest snorkeling spots in the BVI.
Anchored in The Bight at Norman Island, The William Thornton, fondly referred to as the Willy T, stands as a beloved floating bar, beckoning visitors with its unique charm and vibrant atmosphere.
Peter Island, Cooper Island, and Salt Island
Peter Island is an 1,800 acre private island offering hiking and biking trails as well as a nice spot to anchor for snacks or a meal.
Cooper Island is a popular stop for yachts and is adjacent to "wreck alley," a spot in the BVI where a number of vessels have been intentionally sunk to create dive sites.
If the spirit moves you, these islands are a great spot to break out the tube and catch some air behind Serenity's tender.
The RMS Rhone was a UK Royal Mail Ship that was wrecked off the coast of Salt Island in 1867 in a hurricane. She is now a very popular Caribbean wreck snorkeling and dive site.
Any of these stops is an opportunity to take advantage of your yacht's many water toys. Do some paddling with a friend in the two person kayak, paddle board to a secluded cove, or just relax and soak up the sun on the floating dock.
The Baths
The Baths at Virgin Gorda is a natural wonder, featuring boulders and caverns that make up a maze that leads to secret rock pools and the famous Cathedral Room, a natural pool inside a small cave.
A series of steps and rope handrails guide explorers along a trail through the boulders from the beach at The Baths to the sandy expanse at Devil’s Bay. Along the way, you can explore in, under, and around the boulders and hidden pools.
Encompassing the beaches and rocky shoreline at the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda, The Baths is a collection of massive granite boulders as large as 40 foot in diameter, with white sand beaches and secret rock pools.
At the end, reward yourself with a relaxing time on the beautiful beach at Devil's Bay. This popular daytime anchorage is ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Saba Rock and the Bitter End Yacht Club
Saba Rock is a small island of the BVI at the north end of Virgin Gorda. There is a small hotel, restaurant, bar, and gift shop. A dock is available for day visitors and a large mooring field accommodates yachts staying overnight.
Bitter End Yacht Club is a family-owned island outpost known for its historic charm and is accessible only by sea, attracting travelers and yachting enthusiasts from around the world for over 50 years.
This area is very popular with e-foiling enthusiasts. There is a company here that rents e-foils and also provides instruction.
Anegada
Anegada is the only coral island among the archipelago of volcanic islands that make up the BVI. As such, it is very flat and offers opportunities to explore by scooter, car, or Jeep.
Anegada is known for secluded beaches like Loblolly Bay and Cow Wreck Beach. Also popular are waterside restaurants featuring Anegada lobster.
The island is home to flamingos, rock iguanas and rare plant species like sea lavender. Offshore, Horseshoe Reef is teaming with marine life and interspersed with shipwrecks.
With wind predominantly out of the east, the sail to and from Anegada is very pleasurable, making the journey to get there part of the enjoyment.
Sandy Spit and Scrub Island
Sandy Spit is an uninhabited islet in the BVI. Less than half an acre in size, it consists entirely of a ring of sandy beach surrounding light foliage. It has the appearance of a classic "desert island."
Scrub Island is surrounded by three beaches and features protected coves, nature trails, and scenery. The island is virtually vehicle-free with resort shuttles serving as the primary form of transportation.
Jost Van Dyke
Jost Van Dyke, with its beautiful beaches and harbors, is a very popular stop for yachts.
The island is known for its yacht anchorages, like the sheltered bay at Great Harbour.
Casual bars and restaurants dot the sandy beaches in Great Harbour and nearby White Bay.
