It is just a short sail across the well-protected Sir Francis Drake Channel to Cooper Island. Salt Island lies due west and has good day moorings, where your captain can take you to do some swimming and snorkeling before heading to Cooper Island to savor the delights of Manchioneel Bay for the evening. Your chef will prepare delicious appetizers and a full-course gourmet meal, which you can enjoy in the cockpit or in the air-conditioned main saloon of your luxury private yacht. Your captain will gladly take you ashore in the dinghy so you can swim at the beautiful beach, or you can go off on your own in the dinghy to do some exploring.
Road Town to Cooper Island - 6.5 NM
After sampling the pleasures of Cooper Island, your British Virgin Islands yachting itinerary takes you northeast to the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda. About 5 nautical miles from Cooper Island, on the west end of Virgin Gorda, is The Baths, a fascinating jumble of boulders, some of which form interesting caves to explore. Another option is stopping at The Dogs, a cluster of small islands off Virgin Gorda's north shore. The snorkeling is spectacular. When you arrive at North Sound, you'll find a plethora of marinas, resorts, restaurants, and scenic anchorages. Many sailors allocate two days to explore Virgin Gorda.

Try your hand at the helm with the helpful guidance of your captain on a wonderful downwind passage of roughly 10 nautical miles from North Sound to the small island of Marina Cay.

Worthy of a painting by one of the great artists of history, Marina Cay's beauty is breathtaking. The anchorage is sheltered, assuring a restful night. Nearby Trellis Bay is also beautiful. It has a number of shops and restaurants, if you wish to go ashore to explore and dine out.

If you like, you can stop there to enjoy the picturesque day anchorage in White Bay. Beyond, the land runs straight and bold, and then curves south until you arrive at Cane Garden Bay. Many residents of Tortola consider the bay one of the prettiest on the island, with its crescent-shaped beach of fine white sand juxtaposed against a lush backdrop of swaying palms. A number of fun nightspots are located right on the beach, or close to it, and dancing, dining, and enjoying great island cuisine are all popular pursuits.
