More about this Flotilla?

If you’re looking to gain some experiential training, then this is a great opportunity to hang with the best of the best trainers including hearing from NauticEd’s Owner and Global Director of Education – Grant Headifen. Grant will be operating and giving light instruction on the  Cat 45. Emily would love to fill her boat and do women-only light instructional training on the monohull 45. Mike Soutos will be visiting from the Ionian islands in Greece  – this is your chance to learn about the Greek islands while learning about the BVI as well on his monohull 45. Additionally, Mike will be giving light instruction.

Above, we say “light instruction” because – this is a vacation but with that comes gaining the experience of what a sailing vacation offers and some how-to’s when operating a boat on such a vacation.

Those who are competent skippers bringing their crew for family and friends are certainly welcome and encouraged to join the comradery. Or, those that want to just hang back and get captained around with their feet up in the hammock – we have a place and a captain for you as well.

The 2024 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.
