The Virgin Islands are among the world’s loveliest cruising grounds for charters and yachts, primarily because of the dozens of pretty islands that exist. The chain of islands and cays is, however, part of two different countries; some islands are part of the American Virgin Islands and some the British Virgin Islands. St. Thomas and St. John, both in the US Virgin Islands, are ideal for day trips to the BVI. On a British Virgin Islands boat tour, you can visit the Baths on Virgin Gorda, picturesque Sandy Spit, the legendary beach bars on Jost Van Dyke, Willy T off of Norman Island, Cane Garden Bay on Tortola, or snorkel at the Indians. BVI day trips from St. Thomas and St. John are usually a full day excursion. We include some of the best BVI boat trips available so that you can explore your options.
