    8 Day Itinerary Suggestion in the BVIs, from Beef Island to Beef Island, Tortola The Virgin Islands… Lush, tropical islands indented with sugar-white beaches and surrounded by deep turquoise seas. Tranquil, get-away-from-it-all islets and bays side by side with the glamour and sophistication of some of the world’s most exclusive resorts and yacht clubs. Is it any wonder that the Caribbean has always been, and still is, one of the most popular cruising grounds in the world? The chain of Caribbean islands sweeps southwards in an arc, creating stepping-stones from Florida to Venezuela. At the northern tip are the Virgin Islands. Comprising some 60 tiny islets and cays, the British islands offer excellent sailing and a relaxed, low-key atmosphere. With short passages between them it’s easy to hop from one island to another comfortably. Here you can moor in horseshoe bays of white sand beaches dotted with palm trees. The water beneath you is so clear that you have the feeling you are literally floating on air.

  • BVI 7 Day Sample Itinerary
    The British Virgin Islands The British Virgin Islands The British Virgin Islands - the popular cruising ground that’s always full of surprises Simply put, the British Virgin Islands are one of the most popular charter destinations in the world. The ingredients of dozens of islands, calm waters, great snorkelling and superb diving are seasoned with a mix of fun shoreside diversions including nightlife, shops and high-end resorts making an irresistible recipe for fun. Even if you’ve been to the BVI, each time you return you’ll add new memories. The islands are close together, allowing for relaxed cruising. You can snorkel, beach comb and enjoy different spots several times in a day. Explore The Baths - a stunning location where boulders seemingly tossed by playful giants create sunlight caverns and pools - or relax on pristine beaches, which are so plentiful in the BVI that it’s easy to find a sandy spot all to yourself. For a glimpse at the world below the waterline, you can snorkel or dive over the Rhone, a sunken mail ship made famous in the movie The Deep, or swim into the caves on Norman Island that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel Treasure Island. All of these are best reached by your super yachts’s tender, of course. Conditions here also make for great sailing, and the BVIs host the regattas to prove for it. For some more relaxed pursuits, savour spa treatments at one of the five-star resorts that dot the islands, or sip a legendary seaside cocktail at a beachside bar.

  • Breeding Seabirds in the British Virgin Islands

Despite being a well-known taxonomic group there is still a paucity of data for most seabird species on many of the Caribbean islands. We carried out detailed surveys of the seabird breeding populations in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) during the breeding seasons of 2004 and 2005. We surveyed 42 different islands and cays over the 2 yr with 60 and 63% of these having at least one breeding seabird species in 2004 and 2005, respectively. A total of 15 spe- cies of breeding seabird was recorded, one of which, the gull-billed tern Sterna nilotica, was pre- viously thought to have been extirpated. Two species, roseate tern Sterna dougallii and magnificent frigatebird Fregata magnificens, had globally significant colonies in the BVI and a further 8 species had a regionally significant population in the BVI. We discuss our findings within a global and regional conservation context and provide recommendations for ensuring the continued existence of BVI seabird populations.

  • Seabird Surveys of Globally Important Populations in the British Virgin Islands
    The Journal of Caribbean Ornithology RESEARCH ARTICLE Vol. 31:51–56. 2018 Seabird surveys of globally important populations in the British Virgin Islands Susan Zaluski Atoya George Clive Petrivic Judy Pierce Nancy Woodfield-Pascoe Louise Soanes Photo: Susan Zaluski The Journal of Caribbean Ornithology jco.birdscaribbean.org ISSN 1544-4953 RESEARCH ARTICLE Vol. 31:51–56. 2018 www.birdscaribbean.org Seabird surveys of globally important populations in the British Virgin Islands Susan Zaluski1, Atoya George2, Clive Petrivic3, Judy Pierce4, Nancy Woodfield-Pascoe5, and Louise Soanes6 Abstract The British Virgin Islands is home to two globally important and eight regionally important populations of breeding seabirds, distributed across the 60 islands that make up the territory. Here, we re-survey key sites within the islands to assess breeding numbers of the globally important Magnificent Frigatebird Fregata( magnificens) and Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) populations. Our 2013–2014 surveys suggest that both these populations have declined since 1995, with the Roseate Tern pop- ulation showing the steepest declines. We identify potential threats facing these populations, including those from invasive species and entanglement with fishing line. This study highlights the need for regular, systematic seabird surveys across the territory and the neighboring territories of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, to ensure any population declines or threats facing populations are identified, and appropriate conservation management practices implemented. Keywords Fregata magnificens, Magnificent Frigatebird, Roseate Tern, seabird census, Sterna dougallii Resumen Muestreos de poblaciones de aves marinas de importancia global en las Islas Vírgenes Británicas—Las Islas Vírgenes Británicas son el hogar de dos poblaciones nidificantes de aves marinas de importancia global y de otras ocho poblaciones im- portantes a nivel regional; que están distribuidas a través de las 60 islas que conforman el territorio.
