Skip the ferry crowds and arrive at White Bay by private sail, then hop to the uninhabited sandbar of Sandy Spit for a swim only your group enjoys.
What to expect
You board at a Tortola or St. Thomas marina and sail across Sir Francis Drake Channel with the captain narrating the islands you pass. First stop is a quiet corner of White Bay for a swim and a Painkiller at a beach bar before it fills up, then on to Sandy Spit, a sliver of sand and three palm trees with nobody else on it. Snorkel gear, drinks, and a simple lunch are typically included, and the pace is entirely yours to set.
Good to know
Book several weeks ahead in high season; charters depart from Tortola, St. Thomas, or St. John, so confirm pickup point at booking. Return by mid-afternoon comfortably clears any evening all-aboard time.
