while cruising the BVI?
For example perhaps it's snorkelling Monkey Point, or jumping at the Willy T.
This year we made a stop with guests every charter for the Friday night party and the Jumbie's at leverick Bay. All the guests loved it.
This year we have a few new activities which we think they will love. A new one that should be interesting is feeding the moray eels.
Whats your favorite?

what if we haven't ever cruised?
We just enjoy the show on the beach at Soggy Dollar. We do always manage to get around to the Bubbly Pools on a high tide.

Feeding the moray eels??  I hope you have a chainmail glove!
To name just a few, we love the Jumbies party, the "scene" at White Bay & just chillaxin' at Cow Wreck.

I think everyone should think hard and pick only one and call that their favorite.

Sailing from Anegada to Jost. One tack, great tunes, dolphins on the bow, a great woman at my side. It doesn't get better than that

Visiting the Baths, including snorkeling around the rocks between The Baths and Devil's bay.
I should add that we usually get up at first light, slip the mooring at Marina Cay, and get on a mooring at The Baths at around 7am. A quick breakfast and we're on the beach at 7:45am, and usually the first people there. The real crowds don't show up until 10:30am or so, and by then we're on our way out, usually headed to North Sound.

I have to say approaching the Willy T at sunset. We always use the Bight as our final stop when we charter, and its always produced memorable nights!

Tough one...
There are so many great things to do and see that I find it impossible to pick only one; however, I think that the best thing is meeting all of you folks while we are there 
There are too many of you to list, but it makes the trip for us.

I've sailed the BVI several dozen times over the past three decades. Picking one is difficult. I think for me it is a close match between watching the sun set from Cooper Island and the sail from Anegada to JVD (+1 to Mike).
I'm not big on partying and crowds, so Willy T is a lunch stop at most. CGB just makes me pine for the old days, but a new visitor wouldn't know any better.
sail fast and eat well, dave

How about the sail from Virgin Gorda to Anegada. We have had some incredible screeming reaches!

I like that one too. And I love sailing down the Channel wing on wing to anywhere. But, Anegada to Jost is still the best.

My apologies. Sounded like you were planning to feed moray eels -- I assumed you meant in the ocean, not an aquarium. Is that where I went wrong?

Hard to chose, but enjoying any great snorkeling spot. Our best on our last trip were the Indians outside the Bight on Norman Island.

Me too, but VG to Anegada is over too fast. The broad reach to JVD is a wonderful day - plenty of wind over deck, good views, and a longer sail.
YMMV.

That about sums up what I envision as my 10-year-plan!
My favorite activity is sailing to/from Anegada as well... I tie up my hammock to the bimini and sway back and forth with the boat. It's my poor-man's fly bridge.

May not be in the theme of the intended post but here it goes anyway.
Rounding the north side of JVD at 0500
Slowing her down so we could comfortably pass between Green Cay and Sandy Spit at false dawn.
Anchoring in Great Harbor and waiting for C&I to open. 2 tries.
Moving to White Bay and waiting for the Soggy Dollar open and treating my crew to a Pain Killer at 0900 for a great job at the ¾ point on a delivery to St. Vincent

Watching the sun set from the cockpit from just about anywhere - had some memorable ones with green flash this year - star-gazing flat on our backs on the deck of Trinity (thanks Mike ) - bushwackers with Seddy, painkillers with Mic, lobster and honor bar at Sydney's, meeting new friends like Joe at Scrub Island, painkillers at Pusser's Marina Cay (ALWAYS fabulous and strong!), jerk prime rib at Jolly Roger, Jumbie bar and just visiting with Nick at Leverick - a must stop every trip, counting the days until we're back.......too many to count right now....

When Monzi and I can get a calm seas Sunday off, our absolute favorite is to head straight for Anegada. Sit at the reefs bar and drink some special smoothies while waiting for the taxi to pick us up for the trip to Cow Wreck. Always never forgetting to take a "Walk With"
Meeting Belle and kids, order lunch,(Wings are the best") play with the kiddies, swim. Relax after lunch, nice bottle of Pino, perhaps a little kip. Taxi back to ARH and get more Walk With Smoothies for the trip back. After about 10mins stop the engine and go overboard for a wollow,the almost best feeling in the world, out in the middle of nowhere.
Get back home, jump in the hotub and have a de brief.
Our favorite day
