Schematic cream, navy, and teal route map of a 10-day British Virgin Islands sailing loop. The track starts at Road Town, Tortola, then runs to Manchioneel Bay on Cooper Island (day 1), The Baths by day and Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda overnight (day 2), North Sound on Virgin Gorda (day 3), two nights at Setting Point on Anegada (days 4–5), Trellis Bay / Marina Cay (day 6), Cane Garden Bay on Tortola’s north shore (day 7), Great Harbour on Jost Van Dyke (day 8), Soper’s Hole at West End (day 9), and The Bight on Norman Island (day 10), with a faint return to Road Town. Anegada is solid and included; a faint dotted line shows the weather-skip to Trellis if blown out. Island silhouettes are geographically relative OpenStreetMap outlines. Not a chart and not for navigation.

Schematic – not for navigation. Island outlines (c) OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

Ten nights from Tortola: Cooper, The Baths then Spanish Town, North Sound, two nights at Setting Point, Trellis Bay / Marina Cay, Cane Garden Bay, Jost, Soper’s Hole, Norman, then base. Two nights Anegada is the point of this length. Distances are approximate rhumb-line figures at a 5–6 kt cruise, cross-checked against Moorings’ published 10-day legs (fetched 1 Sep 2026).

Same loop from Nanny Cay, Hodges Creek or Soper’s Hole — only the first night changes. Late briefing from Road Town / Nanny / Soper’s: first night Norman, not Cooper. Anegada is still a weather call: 20+ kts TWS, northerly swell, or poor vis, and you skip.

Moorings and BoatyBall pricing for every overnight stop: BVI moorings and BoatyBall.
