Details of each itinerary

Norman Island (the Caves and/or the Indians) & Peter Island (Little Harbor)*
*This itinerary offers the most snorkeling.  (If you’re looking for beaches, see our Jost Van Dyke itinerary below.)

Our most popular due to the calmest sailing, best snorkeling, and most time at each stop.  This is also our best itinerary for kids!

Norman is known as “Treasure Island” because of legends of pirates and buried treasure. This sail typically includes the following:

• The Caves – The story goes that some of the treasure buried on Norman Island was also hidden in these caves.
• The Indians – An underwater national park, alive with fish and a wide variety of corals and plant life. This is one of the best snorkeling sites in the BVI, if not the Caribbean!
• Peter Island – Little Harbor is a beautifully pristine anchorage where we often are able to snorkel with sea turtles!

Some other options may include:

• Angelfish Reef – Where sea turtles are sometimes seen
• The Bight – A large protected anchorage… home of Pirate’s Bight and the Willy T
• Kelly’s Cove – A peaceful anchorage with great snorkeling in the bay as well as the nearby Water Point

Jost Van Dyke – White Bay & Sandy Spit*
*This itinerary offers the most beach time. If you’re looking for snorkeling, please consider another itinerary.

• Sandy Spit – This is the beautiful deserted island you’ve always dreamed of being stranded on
• White Bay – Home of the Soggy Dollar Bar and several other picturesque beach bars

May include:

• Diamond Cay – Nice snorkeling along Little Jost Van Dyke, home of the B Line Bar

Cooper Island & Peter Island (Deadman’s Bay)
*This itinerary offers a nice mix of snorkeling and beach time

• Cooper Island – We start by choosing among a couple of nice snorkeling stops around Cooper Island.  Then we stop at Cooper Island Beach Club, a cute little resort that offers a little bit of everything… including a great restaurant & bar, ice cream shop, coffee shop, nice clothing/gift shop, rum bar, and a cozy and relaxing beach.  From there, you have the option to snorkel the calm bay, where turtles and rays are often spotted, right from the beach.
• Peter Island – Beautiful Deadman’s Bay where you have the option of snorkeling… where turtles are often spotted…  or laying on the beach that was rated one of the world’s 10 most romantic beaches.
