Escaping New England’s March Madness

My crew and I chartered GITANA during the last week of March 2014. Upon arriving at BVI Yacht Charters, we immediately felt like family. The boat was extremely clean and looked to be in great condition. We chose to do the sleep-aboard so that we could provision the boat and get an earlier start to sailing. Chris stopped by when he saw us on the boat and said that he would do the check out with us that evening, so that we didn’t have to wait in the morning! He was fantastic, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. He even set us up with a friend of his, who gave us a ride to a local restaurant for dinner. After a good night’s sleep with dockside air conditioning, we headed out in the morning for some sailing. The breeze was perfect and we had a quick sail over for Norman Island. We had a minor issue with the pull cord on the dinghy engine, but Anthony sent his crew out the next morning in a fast boat and replaced the part. You can’t beat that for service! The next day we sailed to Cooper Island, where we found the remodeled Cooper Island Beach Club to be quite nice. The decor there was very nice, the snorkeling at Cistern Rock, and the sunset in Manchioneel Bay were outstanding. The next morning the wind was light, we had an early start and motored to the Bath’s. After playing around in the Bath’s we headed to North Sound. Our crew found so much to do in North Sound to be entertained that we spent 2 nights on a mooring off Saba Rock. The next sail was to Diamond Cay where we went and played in the Bubbly Pool. We had a late start the following morning and went around the corner to Great Harbour. We decided to go ashore and hike over to White Bay. They hilly hike was well worth it! We spent the day strolling on the beach and checking out the various restaurants and bars. Our last full day it was blowing close to 30 with squall lines moving through all day. I decided to motor over to Norman for our last night. This time we hiked over to Benure’s Bay with our snorkeling gear. We found this to be some of the best snorkeling around! Upon returning to BVI Yacht Charters we were once again greeted by Chris, who was a pleasure to work with. We will be using BVI Yacht Charters in the future and recommend them to friends! Thank you BVI Yacht Charters for a wonderful vacation!
