Imagine slicing through the blue sparkling waters of the Caribbean Sea, with the sun on your face and the wind in your hair. Breakfast at Trellis Bay, lunch on Anegada and dinner at Peter Island. You will motor out of the Virgin Traders home base at Nanny Cay Marina on Tortola, and it is possible with one of these sleek motor yachts to cruise the islands at your own pace, seeing as much or as little as you wish.

The yachts can be hired either as bareboat, or for the non-sailors, a skipper can be provided. For those who would like to learn, instructional skippers can be requested.

With a range of 43' to 56' motor yachts to choose from, Virgin Traders claim to have some of the finest vessels available for charter in the Caribbean. The boats are spacious, offering three or four double cabins, plenty of sunbathing space, fully equipped galley, CD player with speakers above and below deck, hot and cold water deck showers, inflatable dinghy with outboard and a barbeque for those balmy Caribbean evenings.

52' power catamarans are also part of the Virgin Traders ever expanding fleet. These luxury vessels boast comfortably spacious salons and four double cabins. The enormous aft cockpit has seating for everyone, with wetbar, sink and a huge ice chest with wine and beer cooling compartment. Vast swim-platforms make getting in and out of the water easy for the divers in the party.

Watersports equipment can be arranged - kayaks, windsurfers, fishing tackle, scuba diving equipment and snorkelling gear - and with fairly shallow drafts, the yachts can easily access most anchorages.

Combine a stay ashore with a stay afloat - the best way to see the beautiful BVI.
