British Virgin Islands One Week Flotilla

One week Sunsail Flotilla

Sunsail’s new base at Wickham’s Cay II, Tortola, is the starting point for a one-week British Virgin Islands (BVI) flotilla holiday.

Flotilla sailing in the BVI is an ideal blend of easy deep-water island hops, consistent trade winds, line-of-sight navigation and plentiful sheltered anchorages, making this an excellent location for first-timers as well as more experienced sailors.

Visit Marina Cay for a welcome punch party, Virgin Gorda for extraordinary rock formations, Gorda Sound for water sports and shopping and The Caves of Norman Island, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, for superb snorkelling.

A British Virgin Islands (BVI) flotilla from Tortola, with easy, deep-water sailing between the sixty stunning islands of the archipelago, is suitable for sailors with some previous experience, which novices can gain at our on-site RYA sailing school.

The liveliest sailing is generally around Christmas and the most gentle during the summer months. Winds in the winter are generally north-east trade winds, in summer they come from the south-east. Temperatures average 26 - 30 C year round.
