  • 5Sea, sun, sailing and fun!

    If you like sea, sun and sailing this tour is for you. We were on a cruise and I did not book through the ship. I was a little concerned about the pick up which was very smooth. The captain and first mate were excellent. They were very friendly and professional. They served food and drink on the boat which was also a plus. There was something for everyone. I would absolutely book this tour again. It was great and a lot of fun.

  • 5Great excursion

    What a great experience for a family of 4. James (aka Chris because I kept getting his name wrong) and Dewey were amazing as they sailed the catamaran! Family friendly atmosphere, great rum punch, amazing weather, great lunch! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Met the transfer team at the cruise port in Road Town and a 20 min ride over to the catamaran!

    What a great time. Beautiful catamaran with excellent weather so we got to sail over to White Beach where we enjoyed some cocktails. Great lunch back on board and more cocktails and sailing. And then best part, we met some lifelong friends and made memories! Totally recommend this excursion with Chris and Dewey!!

About Tortola

Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, is a hilly Caribbean island of white-sand coves, anchorages and sailing harbours.

Tortola is about 20 km long, steep and green, with a spine of hills running its length and bays on both the north and south coasts. Road Town, the capital, sits on a deep harbour on the south side, where yachts fill the marinas, and the island has long been a base for sailing among the surrounding cays and channels. Sage Mountain National Park protects the highest peak and a patch of remnant rainforest.
