Fun In The Sun

Known for its 600 nautical miles of bright blue Caribbean waters, sun-drenched beaches and friendly hospitality, the British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a firm favourite with sailors and holidaymakers alike.

With exciting new openings, additional flight options, over 20 sailing regattas and refurbishments galore, 2023 is the year to explore this unspoiled island paradise. Divers and sailors should make the most of the welcoming waters at lively events like BVI Wreck Week in February and the BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival, celebrating its 50th anniversary in March.

Yachties Haven

2023 sees the return of Bitter End Yacht Club’s legendary Clubhouse. Paying homage to the original 1960 Clubhouse, destroyed by Hurricane Irma, the new bar features a wall of nostalgic memorabilia, such as buried treasure found in the aftermath – the perfect backdrop for a night of sharing tall sea tales and rum. Also not to be missed is Saba Rock, the fun-filled, one-acre island in the North Sound, a haven for yachties, divers and kiteboarders for more than 50 years.

New Openings

Just steps from the famous White Bay, The Hideout is a luxury resort on Jost Van Dyke, with seven villas, all with private plunge pools and elevated ocean views. Larger groups will love Moskito Island’s latest estate, The Village, which showcases futuristic technology with a hidden DJ deck, multi-level infinity pool and a cliffside glass-bottom hot tub. Couples can chill at the luxury, intimate, adult-only Inn at Cornucopia on Virgin Gorda, with just five ensuite bedrooms.

Sail The Seas

Thanks to calm waters, steady trade winds and well-equipped marinas, the BVI is revered as the sailing capital of the world. Hopping between the 60 islands and cays couldn’t be easier and there are numerous yacht charter options available, from bareboat to fullycrewed and even by-the-cabin charters.

New for 2023, Dream Caribbean Blue will be based at Scrub Island’s marina, offering guests an exceptional and unforgettable sailing experience with unparalleled service and genuine warm hospitality onboard its 11 crewed yachts.

For the 2023 season, Dream Yacht Worldwide will have over 90 yachts for visitors to choose from.
