ITINERARY
EMBARKATION
Tortola
Check in time is 5 PM at Tortola Marina
You will be greeted by the crew and will have a glass of Proceso waiting for you upon arrival at the boat.
DAY ONE
Tortola
Tortola is the largest island of the BVI chain and easiest to commute to. After setting foot on the island, reality will hit you, you've just landed in paradise. We always suggest you arrive a day or two early (if you can) to explore what the island has to offer and get accustomed to the slower pace of life. During your downtime, you can explore the ancient ruins, take some sun at the beach or just enjoy the local cuisine before joining the boat.
DAY TWO
Marina Cay
Marina Cay has a colorful past and collection of owners, including Jose Cuervo Tequila who purchased the island, referring to it as 'Cuervo Nation'. The island was used to host promotional events.
The island has a restaurant and bar, which as you'd expect offers the best rum. The coral has amazing swimming before a well-deserved rum. Remember, drinking rum in the afternoon doesn't make you an alcoholic, it makes you a pirate. We will only plan to go here if we can leave the marina early!
Everything you need to know on how to get to the Ionians coming from your designated locations.

Sami day is our adventure day, where you can hire a scooter and check out the Melissa Caves and go to the famous Myrtos Beach! You'll be stunned by the beauty of the coastline as you ride your scooter there. You may need to pinch yourself, again. This is how sailing the Greek Islands is done right.
DAY FIVE
Sandy Cay
We'll stop at Sandy Cay for breakfast and a morning swim. You can wander to the north side of the beach and the 'Bubbly Pool' where is the swell is right, creates a bubbling jacuzzi. The island Jost Van Dyke was named after an early Dutch settler and former pirate, we are in old Pirate Land after all. So we will take a mooring and explore the bays and the local legendary bars, Foxy's Bar and The Soggy Dollar Bar that got it's name from people swimming to shore for a drink and pulling out soggy dollar bills from their swimmers.
DAY SIX

We will then head to Norman Island, which was named after a pirate who brought the island during the early 18th century. Normal Island or 'Treasure Island' is known for a long history of pirate booty being stowed on the island and legends of treasure being discovered here.
The island offers caves for amazing snorkelling, hidden bays and wrecks that may still have unclaimed treasure! We will stay in a protected bay for the night and can check out the famous 'Willy T's' floating restaurant and bar or you can opt for a more relaxed time at the beach bar.
DAY SEVEN
Peter Island
After leaving the bay, we'll go straight over to 'The Indians' for breakfast and you can enjoy an amazing rock formation and swimming spot.
