With different ports of call found around its 50 islands, cays, and islets, the possibilities are endless in the BVI. On a private yacht, you can savor the greatest luxury of all—time—and island hop wherever your curiosity and the wind take you, from historic Norman Island, where pirates once stored their stolen treasure, to majestic Jost Van Dyke, a rural paradise and home to Foxy’s, the New Year’s Eve party hub.

Discover some of the most enchanting natural wonders in the Caribbean, including the maze-like rock pools and tunnels of The Baths on Virgin Gorda and flamingo-filled salt ponds on Anegada.
