Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke: yacht sailing with the Kairos
What makes the voyage of the Kairos to the Caribbean special?
This yacht voyage explores the British Virgin Islands around Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost van Dyke and low-lying Anegada. A fine route with stops for swimming and going ashore, together with the more open crossing to outlying Anegada.
Highlights
- Virgin Gorda: The Baths, a maze of huge granite boulders on the shore.
- Jost van Dyke: A small island with sheltered anchorages such as White Bay.
- Anegada: A flat coral island with long beaches and an offshore reef.
- Tortola: The main BVI island with many anchorages.
A yacht voyage with beautiful stops for watersports and time ashore, but also longer legs sailed in part through the night. For everyone who enjoys the sailing itself.
