If you love white sand beaches...

Then you simply must spend some time at White Bay, Jost Van Dyke in The British Virgin Islands!
There are so many things that are so unique about this very popular place.
Sailors particularly like it for a number of reasons;
First of all, it's well protected from the sea by a reef running straight across the entrance, broken only by 2 small cuts that allow entrance to the pristine waters on the inside. We've quite often heard comments from our guests like, "Hey, this is like anchoring in a swimming pool!". On a sunny day here, the water is that unbelievably pure tourquoise that you see in the ads.
Another reason they like it is because it's shallow, and the bottom is deep sand (the very best for secure anchoring) all of which means you don't need much chain out in order to have your anchor well set.
The bay is divided in two by an outcropping of rock, gorgeous white sand beaches on both sides.
Are you looking for real action, great live reggae music (sometimes pretty loud), and fabulous tropical drinks? Then anchor on the west side and visit The Soggy Dollar Bar.
If you are looking for peace and quiet and just a lazy day lounging on the beach, sipping on your pina colada, then you want to set yourself up just outside Ivan's Stress-free Bar on the east side.
A word of advice: If you plan a visit, especially if it's a beautiful day (and it usually is!) and if it's on the weekend, then get there as early as you can... because like I said, it is VERY POPULAR.

To All of Our Good Friends

Hi!

David & Ida here... from the beautiful Virgin Islands!

Hope everyone there is happy and healthy.

Believe it or not, we are in our 11th season of chartering, and we've gotten to know many of the boats and thier crews very well. So we are well positioned to begin our new charter yacht brokerage business, Davida Yacht Charters.

Don't worry though... we are still here for you should you wish to come sailing with us again. However, if you would like a larger yacht or maybe a catamaran, we can make sure you get the yacht that fits you to a 'T'.


Best regards,
David & Ida
