Yachting Dangers - What to Watch For When Bareboating
The bareboat charter company will give you maps, instructions on what to watch for, and information on where you need to stay while you're out bareboating. But really, why would they worry about where you are?

Underseas Treasure - Yachting to Submerged Wrecks in the British Virgin Islands
With over four hundred years of ocean traffic going through its balmy waterways, it would be remarkable if the waters around the British Virgin Islands did not hold some. Fortunately for the devoted diver, you'll find several charming old wrecks here, filled with darting fish and crusted with corals and barnacles.

Getting a Certification For Bareboat Yachting in the British Virgin Islands
You'll find out right away that if you want to set up a bareboat charter, you have three basic options: sailing with a full crew and captain, sailing with a captain, with you and your party performing as crew, or sailing by yourself. The first two options don't require prior experience or a license. However, if you want to do a true bareboat and sail your own ship through the British Virgin Islands, you will have to have some sort of license.

Tortola Yacht Charters, Sailing in Paradise
The presence of almost constant trade winds in Tortola, the warm temperature of the seas, the idyllic coastline with its pristine white sand beaches, fringed by swaying palm trees - all these aspects combine to produce perfect yachting waters. With upwards of 50 bays and cays and anchorages to select from, it is little wonder that the British Virgin Islands are amongst the Caribbean's most popular sailing areas.

Where To Go Sailing This Spring - Some Old Favorites and a New Guest Dock
Whatever you do this Spring, make sure you get out there; cruise, race, daysail, overnight or just grab a couple of hours and a few friends and share the most wonderful resource this area has, San Francisco Bay. Spending the night in a marina is always possible, given careful planning. Most harbors have vacant slips or a very limited number of transient berths. My favorite overnight harbor spots include: Schoonmaker Point, Sausalito; Jack London Square, Oakland; Corinthian Yacht Club...

Yachting Through History - Piracy, Trade, and The British Virgin Islands
History in the British Virgin Island starts with the Carib Indians, who had killed off most of the Arawak earlier inhabitants and were in the Virgin Islands the day Europeans led by Columbus landed on its shores. Columbus chose not to stay long, however, and his decision to move on led to an international argument about who the Virgin Islands really belonged to, then chaos, and then a rich piracy, privateer, and smuggler history.
