Where is the British Virgin Islands' sailing charter base?
The main sailing charter base in the British Virgin Islands is located at Wickhams Cay II Marina in Road Town, Tortola. This is the central hub for most charter departures and home to several major operators.
Distance from the Airport:
Airport: Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS), located on Beef Island, east of Tortola
Travel Time to Base: Approximately 25–30 minutes by taxi or shuttle from the airport to Wickhams Cay II
Route: A scenic coastal drive across the Queen Elizabeth Bridge linking Beef Island to Tortola, continuing into Road Town
Additional Notes:
If arriving via St. Thomas (USVI), you’ll likely take a ferry or water taxi to Road Town Ferry Terminal, which is only a few minutes from the charter base.
Sail Connections can arrange private transfers from the airport or ferry terminal to ensure a smooth arrival and timely boarding of your yacht.
Whether you’re chartering bareboat or with a skipper and crew, Road Town’s Wickhams Cay II is the primary and best-equipped starting point for sailing in the BVI.
