Not been around NYE for a while. North Sound was always a good time and always our top choice, anchored out from Robins Bay and then RIB into BEYC. Obviously not so much now...Great Harbour JVD was also a reasonable anchorage 15 years ago on NYE...and Foxy's was 'out of control'...but in a good way!
If it were me, I'd probably try for one of the balls at Diamond Cay JVD/LJVD a day early (assuming those out-of-town-morons at Boatyball haven't converted all of them by then) and then cab over to the action at Great Harbour if that's what you're after. Keep the boat out of the chaos, but within easy reach...
...enjoy the chaos in GH for as long as you care to and then get out of dodge! Wake up in beautiful surroundings without 16 idiots who don't know how to anchor wrapped around you like Christmas paper!

I have never heard of fireworks in the BVI. The party place to be in the BVI for NEY is JVD. There used to be way back in the early 2000’s at East End where an Expat from NJ started an inter island delivery service with a landing craft and every New Year’s Eve for a few years he had permission to load it up with fireworks for New Year’s.

The Yacht Week shenanigans are usually around and they'll be rafted up at Foxy's Taboo on New Year's Day. There goes my plan! Good Intel.

From Anegada we have watched the fireworks at Necker and Spanish Town. I wouldn't be surprised if Moskito or Eustacia also has them. Pretty far away but still a great night having drinks at Neptune's with friends and family! So you didn't see the Fireworks on Anegada the past 2 years?
