Experience the Best of Virgin Gorda with a Private Yacht Charter
The main commercial and residential area is Spanish Town on the southwestern part of the island.
Virgin Gorda is one of the most beautiful islands in the British Virgin Islands. It is known for its stunning scenery, crystal-clear waters, and abundance of activities.
One of the most popular tourist destinations on Virgin Gorda is The Baths. This unusual geologic formation is made up of huge granite boulders that have been eroded by the sea over millions of years. The Baths offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore a natural wonder and enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean Sea.
Another popular destination on Virgin Gorda is North Sound. This large, sheltered bay is home to a variety of watersports activities, including sailing, windsurfing, and snorkeling. North Sound is also a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Caribbean.
If you are looking for a more secluded experience, you can charter a private yacht and explore the waters around Virgin Gorda at your own pace. Your yacht captain can take you to some of the island’s hidden gems, such as secluded beaches, uninhabited islands, and coral reefs.
Here are some of the things you can do on your private yacht charter in Virgin Gorda:
An unusual geologic formation known as “the Baths” located on the southern end of the island makes Virgin Gorda one of the BVI’s major tourist destinations. At the Baths, in spite of evidence of the island’s largely volcanic origins, huge granite boulders lie in piles on the beach, forming scenic grottoes that are open to the sea. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, thus not volcanic. It did form from magma, however, at great depth. Granite becomes exposed at the surface only after geologic ages of erosion removes the overburden. Further erosion broke the granite into large boulders and rounded their surfaces. North of the Baths is the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor, formerly owned by Little Dix Bay. The most notable ruin on Virgin Gorda is the old Copper Mine.
One of the great harbors of the world, North Sound, and historically Gorda Sound, lies at the northeast end of the island. It is bordered by four islands and connecting reef systems that keep the sound calm, creating one of the world’s great watersports meccas, with over 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) of protected waters. At the eastern end of the sound is the premier anchorage, in the lee of Biras Hill (elevation 435 ft (133 m)). The village, resort, and marina at this point (Jon’O’Point) is called the Bitter End Yacht Club and runs for about a mile of coastline.
With your own private yacht charter, you can set your own itinerary and explore Virgin Gorda and the surrounding area at your own pace. Contact Island Vibez today to book your charter.
The most well-known attraction on the island, these giant boulders or batholiths, brought to the surface by volcanic eruptions, are scattered about forming a beautiful grotto and tranquil pools. You most commonly know them as “The Baths”
