Head to our first skippered charter in the BVI next week with Sunsail. We are booked for a Saturday to Saturday itinerary and I had a question about when we actually depart from Wickhams Cay/Road Town. We are scheduled to land at noon Beef Island (flying Seabourn, so who knows when we'll get there). The " One Week BVI Itinerary" we were sent a link of looks fine, but we are unsure when we actual kick-off the sail. It sounds like the first night might be spent aboard the boat at Wickman's Cay, which I'm hoping isn't the case. If so, then the itinerary doesn't seem to be feasible as listed. Do you need to overnight in at the base the first night? Thanks, Testudo

Sunsail is always first night sleep aboard! Six nights away. Sat-Sat would fit that unless you had first on Friday - which you don't. Call 'em first thing in the am to confirm. Itin is always subject to conditions.
Ambitious itin, I wouldn't do Anegada in just six nights either. Spanish Town and Trellis aren't high on most current lists post hurricanes either.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Thanks y'all! Bummer, that's what I was afraid. Had hoped to be heading out in the late afternoon to Norman. Agree that Anegada will likely have to get jettisoned due to that "loss" of a day.
Any thoughts or recommendations on an itinerary? Wife and I have been stayover guests on VG and Jost multiple times with day trips to Anegada, Cooper, Norman. It'll be the other couples first time visiting the BVI.
My current plan would be:
Marina - Night #1 Norman/Indians - Snorkel Cooper - Night #2 VG Baths/Spring Bay VG North Sound - Night #3 Guana Island - Snorkel (NS VG to JVD too long of a sail?) Jost - Night #4 & #5 (We know we like JVD!) Peter Island - Night #6 Marina
Cheers,
Testudo

Since we've never really explored Tortola at all, what are some recommendations to spend a half day doing - beaches, restaurants, beach bars? We'll be limited to taking taxis and not sure what's up and running. Would prefer to be easy to reach from Road Town.

I love Anegada too. But you might want to check with Cow Wreck. In December they were not doing dinners. Maybe they are by now.
Go Irish!!

Thanks all. based on the general consensus, we'll see if we can get Anegada worked into our itinerary.
Any dinner recommendations on Tortola for our first night? So far Capriccio di Mare, Bananakeet and Sugar Mill have been recommended.
