What the day feels like
What the Overnight Feels Like
The trip flows like a short island-hopping narrative: a morning of snorkeling off St. John, an afternoon sail and formal BVI check-in at West End, an evening in Nanny Cay with sunset drinks and an ashore dinner, then a calm night in an air-conditioned cabin. Wake to coffee and pastries, sail to the Indians for more snorkeling, take in the raucous Willy T for a jump and a Painkiller, stop for lunch at Pirates Bight, and return to the USVI having split time between the sea, shore and a comfortable overnight aboard.
