Comprising over 50 islands, the BVI has a large marine area of 638,568 km2, which significantly exceeds its terrestrial area (153 km2). Managing a marine area over 4,000 times larger than the terrestrial area presents challenges in protecting biodiversity and sustainable development. This project focussed on an area south of the main island of Tortola and Beef Island which was selected through stakeholder engagement to provide the greatest benefit to all departments of the BVI Government. The area included the approach to Road Harbour which is the main shipping route to the islands; an area south of Hans Creek which is of importance as a fish nursery area; and a section of Sir Francis Drake Channel which encompassed the main shipping channel and the Rhone Marine Park, the first Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the BVI (Figure 1).

  • Tortola – St Thomas 7
    Tortola, BVI to St. Thomas, USVI 7 Day Sample Itinerary Due to some flag state limitations and registrations, not all yachts can charter between the US and British Virgin Islands. If you desire to charter in both the US and British Virgin Islands, please let us know during the inquiry process. Day 1 & 2 ~ Guana Island Guana Island is a privately owned resort of around 850 acres of outstanding natural beauty. The entire island is a wildlife sanctuary with one of the richest collections of plant and animal species in the Caribbean, including roseate (pink) flamingos. Monkey Point, marking the sea passage along Tortola's Ocean Coast, has a small cove, which makes it perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The Baths ( Virgin Gorda) Gigantic granite boulders and half submerged rocks line the southern seashore of Virgin Gorda, creating grottos, tunnels and pools. This site was named "The Baths" by the pirates and sailors that cruised this area from the 18th century. Sandy beaches are lined with coconut palms and the area offers a dramatic and lovely place to swim, snorkel and explore.

The path is lined with ladders and ropes to ease the hike along steeper rocks. Natural beauty is in abundance on the third largest island of the chain, which measures eight and a half square miles.
