For some Anegada is the highlight of the trip. I am in that camp. Love Anegada!!! We plan on 2 nights there in May weather permitting. Fly, if you don't get there this time, it will give you a reason to return!

For some Anegada is the highlight of the trip. I am in that camp. I couldn't agree more. Going to Anegada doesn't take any longer than going anywhere else, particularly in a power cat. I would decide on Anegada based on what you want to see and do. If you want to see the best beaches in the BVI, the best beach bars in the BVI, and the friendliest people in the BVI, you should go to Anegada. If you want to focus on hitting the tourist sights like Willy T, Baths, Soggy Dollar, etc you might consider skipping it. Personally, it's not a charter trip for me without at least 1 night at Anegada.

+1 vote for Anegada being worth the extra few miles. I agree.
Go Irish!!

It is possible to do a 'quickie' on Anegada, which is usually on our itinerary. We leave early from North Sound on Virgin Gorda (usually Leverick Bay) and two-three hours later enter the anchorage at Anegada. Call Dean ahead of time to have a vehicle waiting (or the peeps at Anegaga Reef Hotel will fix you up). Make a beach crawl perhaps beginning at Flash of Beauty and continue to Loblolly (Big Bamboo), Anegada Beach Club, and Cow Wreck before finishing the loop back at the anchorage. You might not have time to visit all four unless you keep moving. We usually hit 2 or 3 of the four before time runs out. Be sure to make your dinner reservations early …. don't simply 'show-up' at any of the restaurants. Early the next morning leave the anchorage and head to Jost Van Dyke, about four hours away. Spend the afternoon at White Bay or one of the other JVD attractions. Two days on Anegada allows for more options, just depends on how many locations you want to hit on your itinerary.

Agree with Noel 100%. We've done the quick version several times. Whilst our preference is now for a 2 day stay, I'd rather do the quick version than miss it out! If you leave North Sound at dawn then you'll have plenty of time to really enjoy the place. Never a bad thing to leave an island wishing you could stay longer, just means you'll have to start planning for that next trip! Weather can be a factor, keep an eye on swell and wind forecast. www.windguru.cz/58

7 days is plenty to enjoy Anegada. First time plan one night and if you love it leave time in your schedule for a second. Jumping off points for most sailors are North Sound or Trellis/Marina Cay. It's a two hour or less sail. With 5 people think about renting a jeep. Our path is dock the dinghy at Potters. Refresh. Then head to Cow Wreck for lunch. Lime. Then Big Bamboo. Lime. Back to Potters. Refresh. Dinner at Wonky Dog. Back to Potters for late night refreshments.
