Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

My Potential Cruise Itinerary


Upon Arrival
  • Before we leave the docks we will receive an informative boat briefing
  • Cast off from our dock in Road Harbour and boat to Norman Island.  We can snorkel through the caves and see the exotic and unique underwater aquatic life.  I want to look through the topaz water and observe the wonders of nature as tiny schools of fish swim around the caves.
  • After exploring Norman Island, we can cruise a short distance into Bight which provides a perfect anchorage for our first night. Great music, food, dancing and partying on the bar/restaurant: ‘The William Thornton’, a 93’ replica of a Nova Scotian trading schooner, will end the prefect first day.
    • The William Thortan bar and restaurant
  • End the night in my husband’s arms watching the sun go down.  To watch the sunset with the man that I love is something so simple that is not normally done in the hustle and bustle of our everyday life.  




 Day 1: Salt Island
  • The next morning, boat through the Sir Francis Drake Channel to Salt Island. Here we can anchor and either dive or snorkel to observe the wreck of the Royal Mail Steamship Rhone, a relic of the hurricane of 1867 (the best wreck dive in the Caribbean).
  • Go ashore and visit the settlement and the salt pond.
  • After lunch, cruise to Cooper Island where we can pick up a dock for the night in front of the beach club bar and restaurant
  • Absorb ourselves in savory seafood food and sweet unique sounds of local fungi music.

Day 2: Virgin Gorda
  • Spend an unforgettable morning at The Baths, home to the most unique rock formations in the BVI, with secret pools and caves, along the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. I want to explore (by either foot or snorkel) the rugged and awe inspiring force of nature that through erosion shaped the environment   
  • Nearby is Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, with a full service marina, shops, bars and restaurants.  We can dock at this marina for the night and explore the nightlife. Each night, I plan to try a native dish of the BVI. I am willing to open myself up to try new things and experience the unique culture of the BVI. I may even be willing to try the native fungi dish that inspired the name of the fungi music.

Day 3: Anegada
  • Cruise 15 miles north to Anegada.
  • Anegada means 'drowned island, with the highest point is 15 feet above sea level and it's famous for fresh lobster, iguanas and flamingos.
    • Flamingos in Anegada, something that you do not see in Canada

    I've never had lobster, but I expect that on vacation, the delicious, fresh, buttery lobster is going to taste amazing!

  • Anchor in Anegada and explore the island until night.  Return to the privacy of the boat at night where we can sit in utter silence and look up at the glistening stars in the clear night sky.  With the only the sound of the waves lapping against the boat, we can fall into a peaceful sleep.  

Day 4: Trellis Bay
  • Boat to Trellis Bay on Beef Island; a well-protected natural harbour and home of the famous restaurant and cabaret 'The Last Resort'.
  • Have some fun in the sun on Trellis Bay which can include windsurfing, sea kayaking
    • Trellis Bay, Beef Island
  • To windsurf and sea kayak in the Caribbean Ocean is an adventurous activity that cannot be done every day. Even if I wipe-out windsurfing, I want to have the experience of wiping-out in the salty sea with nothing but blue skies above.  I want to kayak around the island knowing that I can take all day and stop for a swim anytime I get tired. 








    Day 5: Cane Garden Bay/Jost Van Dyke
    Foxy's Beach Bar
    • Take a short trip up to beautiful Guana Island for spectacular snorkelling and have a  romantic picnic on the beautiful beach at Monkey Point.
    • In the afternoon, boat west to the islands of Jost Van Dyke, where beautiful beaches, hiking trails, beach bars and unique restaurants await us. 
    • A visit to Foxy's is a must-do on because of the amazing entertainment. During the end of May, there is an annual Foxy’s Wooden Boat Regatta that we may be able to see as well.  

      Day 6: Soper's Hole/Peter Island
      Beach at Deadman's Bay
      • Cruise across the channel to Peter Island.  Enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon in Deadman’s Bay.  Soaking in the sun on the crescent shaped beach, lined with palms is a perfect way to end our cruise around the BVI.   





      Day 7: Road Harbour
      • In the morning, enjoy the vibrant sunrise over the hills of Peter Island, take an early morning swim and then weigh anchor for a short boat ride across the channel to the docks.

      After the Boat Trip
      Tortola, the capital of the BVI
      • On the boat, we traveled and explored the islands surrounding Tortola, the capital island of the BVI. Therefore, after the cruise, I plan to dedicate a couple of days to explore the beauty of Tortola. 
      • We could swim or even just walk hand-in-hand along some of the beaches in Tortola, letting the warm sun shine on our backs.
      • While learning at some of the vibrant culture of Tortola, we could do some survivor shopping. 
      • There is an annual BVI Music Fest in May, where artists from around the globe make their way to Cane Garden Bay on Tortola for the three day festival. Acts range from reggae to blues to salsa to gospel. While we are in Tortola, we could plan on attending this festival.
