We were down this September for a week. The weather was ideal, cooler than June last year. The wind was more southerly, sometimes from due south. The BVIs were mostly closed. We had a great time at Leverick Bay for Thursday pizza night. There were probably 35 people, including staff, at the Trellis Bay FMP. We really enjoyed it. We sailed from Leverick to St. John one day, with plenty of time to check in at Cruz Bay - we saw one other sail the whole day. We did hear that Willy T was open for lunch as we sailed past. St. John was hopping in comparison. I'd do it again and include Culebra.
Cheers, RickG

Yep, Soggy Dollar was open this past September and there were people about. Rudy's grocery was open until 5PM, but nothing else. We were the only boat in Great Harbor the night we were there. We sailed from Great Harbor to Trellis with a lunch stop at Guana Island. There were a few boats in Cane Garden Bay, but we did not stop. De Loose Mongoose was open in Trellis. Scrub Island appeared open.

September can be a roll of the dice on weather. But, we have had many great Septembers in the BVI. The water is still very warm and you have the place to yourself. Yes, much is closed but enough is open to have an enjoyable trip. If you enjoy quiet solitude in paradise, September is a great month.

NCSailor said: Hot with a chance of a tropical system. Did September/October twice and both were huge rain events including a hurricane. Others have had great results. I have moved my schedule to early December. Low rates, less crowded and great weather. Yup - if we don't go elsewhere in 2016, it will most likely be late October/early November for us.
