An 8-day BVI sailing itinerary adds breathing room to the classic one-week route. The extra day can support a second night in North Sound or Anegada, a quieter island stop, or a weather buffer when the captain changes the sequence.
The route remains provisional. Conditions, mooring availability, yacht performance, and guest preferences determine what is practical each day.
Begin on Tortola, then visit Norman Island, Cooper or Peter Island, Virgin Gorda, North Sound, Anegada when suitable, Jost Van Dyke, and a final anchorage near Tortola.
