We are chartering a cat from Sunsail with a sleep aboard on Wednesday. Party of 10, four adults and six kids ages 8-16. Thanks for the connections in other posts – we have a STT taxi scheduled with Kevin, and connected with Nick for a slip at Leverick on Friday so we can go to the pig roast and a jeep rental to tour VG. We have sailed the BVIs a few times in the late 90s, first trip back in 15 years. The other family is a first timer.

Wednesday – sleep aboard in Road Town – any suggestions for dinner?
Thursday – Push off to Cooper Island – first time at this Island. Dinner on boat.
Friday – Land in Leverick Bay in the afternoon – p/u rental jeep, hit Hog Heaven and then back for pig roast.
Saturday – Drive to the Baths in AM, looking for suggestions what other beaches to hit after Baths. Return car, push off to BYEC.
Sunday – Explore reefs around BYEC, hike loop trail, etc.; push off for Marina Cay/Scrub, time permits, hit the dogs on the way
Monday – Head to CGB for night, hit monkey point on the way
Tuesday – JVD – bubbly pools, foxies, soggy dollar, stay in great harbour
Wednesday – Head to Normal Island, Indians, caves, Willy-T (lunch due to kids in tow)
Thursday – return boat

Man, a week is not enough.

Thanks for any thoughts / suggestions on our itinerary.

Cheers,

Brendan

We like to stop at Savannah Bay coming back from the Baths.

Savannah Bay on VG for sure - otherwise, sounds good!

Dinner in Road Town will really depend on what kind of dining experience you want.

Vote three for Savannah...We actually prefer Spring Bay now as not as crowded as the baths. No rocks to climb through like the Baths, no restaurant or gift shop but same beach, bolders and gorgeous water. If busy at the Baths its worth a drive in to have a look.

The trails at BEYC are great. Check out Biras resort also if time allows . Great trails and cool horses to visit.

Looks like a nice plan. Have backups in mind in case there is a north swell that week.

Thank you for the feedback.

For dinner in Road Town - top priority is walking distance (long walk OK) from Sunsail base. Second priority is casual dining - we'll be a little travel weary - something not fancy. Think burgers, fish tacos, etc. low key.

Cheers

Road Town restaurants: Pusser's,- burgers etc, Capprico de Mare - pizza and Le Grand Cafe - next to Pusser's. All are kid friendly.
You may want to consider Anegada instead of Bitter End. Great beaches, great snorkeling at Loblolly and great food at a number of places.

When we were there in June we just ate at the little bar at the Sunsail/Mooring marina. Nothing fancy. I think we both had a mahi-mahi sandwich but it was good, close and convenient.

Skip Cane Garden and head to Anegada after North Sound. Unless you feel compelled to see it all, take more than one night somewhere, grab a dock and enjoy the freedom of coming and going at one's will. Sometimes moving every day gets exhausting.

Thank you for all the great suggestions/ideas.

Definitely need to consider two nights in one location to ease up moving every day. We'll have to do an audible where to do two nights.

Trip is just a little over two weeks away, hard to focus!

Leverick is great for two nights since it gives you a night to eat out somewhere on Virgin Gorda the day you arrive and then explore the island during the next day, then back at Leverick that night for dinner. This is why we tend to go Thu/Fri so we can eat out on VG somewhere and then go to the BBQ Friday night.

We typically arrive Thursday by 4pm and depart Saturday by 10am at the latest. Really allows you to relax and enjoy the time there and still see a lot elsewhere.
