Although the BVI can be busy and some anchorages crowded in season, there are still quite a few quiet spots if you get off the beaten path!

If you’re in a mooring field, expect to have lots of neighbors, close at hand. So, choose your ball wisely.

We checked out of St Barths at Gustavia, but made our way for an overnight stop in a quiet bay on Ile Fourchue, an uninhabited and private island a few miles North West of St Barths. The tiny bay had a few mooring buoys and we were able to pick up a mooring close to the shore. We spent the day swimming, snorkeling, and hiking. Ile Fourchue has four rocky peaks in its “corners” and the views are insane. From each peak you can see St Barths, St Martin, Saba, St Eustatius , St Kitts, and...

Crossing to Barbuda! Once we cleared the protection of the reefs north of Antigua a big squall came through and the wind was very gusty. If you are 6nm away from Barbuda, you still can’t see it, it is a very flat island. It’s not easy to navigate through the shallow waters…. but look at the turquoise waters! No boats in sight, but we do see the AIS of 2 boats anchored on the SE tip under Spanish Point. It’s too late in the day for us to navigate across Gravenor Bay, we can only do that...

The French Butterfly Island is a sailor’s paradise perfect for “la belle la vie”—the beautiful life. Guadeloupe is one of our top picks! Guadeloupe is one of the Eastern Caribbean’s Lesser Antilles islands. It is made up of six inhabited islands. The two main islands of Guadeloupe, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, look like the wings of a butterfly from above.

Bonjour…. This place feels more European than Caribbean, it’s charm and people are warm and enchanting. Les Saintes are a group of nine islands six miles off the coast of Basse-Terre. Only two are inhabited, with most sailboats heading to Terre-de-Haut for old-school Caribbean charm mixed with buildings which look like they’ve been transplanted from Brittany. Les Saintes Bay on Terre de Haut is considered to be one of the most beautiful bays in the world and is best experienced from above...

Known as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the Southern Grenadines, Tobago Cays Marine Park comprises five picture-perfect, uninhabited islands surrounded by a clear lagoon. Small beaches of white sand blend into luminous clear water. There are two main anchorages in Tobago Cays. The first is on the north side of the reef. There are mooring buoys and places to anchor between two tiny islands. The anchorage is, however, open to the full force of the ocean winds, which are sometimes strong. You can...
