Welcome to the British Virgin Islands Sailing/Snorkeling/Kayaking Adventure for Women

TBA

(with the option to sleep on board , the night before we set sail)

The British Virgin Islands are a chain of 40 islands volcanic in origin, that our world renowned as a premier sailing destination. Warm, clear, sheltered water, steady trade winds and fringing coral reefs makes circumnavigating the BVI's an unforgettable experience.

Living aboard a Catamaran style sailboat, we will snorkel, hike, kayak, beachcomb and relax under sail for a full week. For women who are interested, our captain will teach sailing fundamentals as she shares her maritime knowledge. Your on board naturalist will provide daily guided snorkeling trips as well as optional hikes on shore to explore the mountainous terrain. We will havea tandem sit-on-top kayak, an SUP (stand up paddle board) and a windsurf for use  during the week. In terms of physical endurance, this trip could be rated from easy to high moderate--your choice!  All hiking, kayaking, windsurfing and snorkeling activities are optional.

Each evening we'll prepare a delicious meal on board at a different anchorage. Some nights we will be nestled into a secluded bay lined with a sandy beach to explore. Other nights, we'll anchor in an area where local Caribbean music with dancing can be enjoyed. As always, the Blue Water Ventures staff will offer fun, educational and adventurous activities each day.
