2023 BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS FLOTILLA

March 2023 | Family-friendly | Hosted by NauticEd

Join NauticEd and fellow sailors on a
family-friendly British Virgin Islands flotilla and sailing vacation.

Known as the sailing vacation capital of the world –for good reason—the British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a picturesque group of islands in the Caribbean that check off all the elements of what makes a perfect Caribbean sailing vacation – ideal tropical weather, consistent winds, stunning islands, line of sight navigation, abundant nature, and as much relaxation or beach party adventure spots as you desire.

– NOTE THAT THIS IS SPRING BREAK FOR MANY –

Boats will sell out fast to the general market as well as in this flotilla.

What is a Family-Friendly Flotilla?

The 2023 British Virgin Islands Sailing Flotilla is a casual flotilla without a ‘theme.’ This is NOT an adult-only flotilla, a party yacht week, or a flotilla focusing solely on hiking or wines or yoga. We’re laid back and run our flotillas that way. Of course, you’re welcome to explore as you see fit. There is a no ducks-in-a-row mentality; a flotilla offers you independence with peace of mind as well as fun and camaraderie with other flotilla sailors.

BVI Flotilla Sample Itinerary

This interactive map is a typical sample itinerary we have put together. More than likely we will do Itinerary #6. The route taken during the week will depend on prevailing and current weather. Tap the top left slider icon to see different routes. Note that Long bay on Night 1 is exposed to a westerly swell – if such conditions exist we will reposition into North Sound.
