Join us as we sail from Antigua to the British Virgin Islands (BVI) via St. Kitts and Nevis and Anguilla. Departing from Antigua, we will head northwest toward St. Kitts, a passage of approximately 50 nautical miles, where we can anchor in Basseterre or the scenic White House Bay. St. Kitts and its sister island, Nevis, offer charming colonial architecture, lush rainforests, and the striking Nevis Peak. After exploring the islands, the next leg of the voyage is a 60-nautical-mile sail to Anguilla, a low-lying coral island known for its powdery beaches and tranquil anchorages like Road Bay. The waters surrounding Anguilla provide excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities, making it a worthwhile stop before the final stretch to BVI.
From Anguilla, the journey to the British Virgin Islands covers about 90 nautical miles, often sailed overnight to arrive in the early morning. The sail typically follows the northeast trade winds, ensuring a smooth passage. Upon reaching BVI, we will make landfall at Virgin Gorda where we will be greeted by crystal-clear waters and a vibrant sailing culture. The BVI offers a perfect reward for the voyage, with iconic destinations such as The Baths, Jost Van Dyke’s lively beach bars, and the serene anchorages of Norman Island. This route blends open-water adventure with island-hopping charm, making it a fantastic choice for sailors seeking both challenge and relaxation.
All meals on board Sea Dragon during this trip are delicious and vegetarian, with the addition of fish if we catch any along the way.
