Yacht Services & Facilities in the British Virgin Islands (BVI's)

The yacht services and facilities set up to serve cruising yachtsmen and charterers in this hugely popular cruising area can be found on just two islands - Tortola and Virgin Gorda.

Whilst American sailors can get a cruising permit for the BVIs by presenting themselves at one of the Customs & Immigration Offices, we Brits, along with everyone else, need a US Visa before we can cruise in the waters of the US Virgin Islands. Doesn't seem fair really...
