Perhaps a trip to a tropical island seems far, far away from the monotony of everyday life, but it might just be the medicine you need to re-fuel. How about a charter in the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/bvi.php\">British Virgin Islands<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0this winter? But &#8216;how do you actually get there?!&#8217; you might be wondering.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30238\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30238 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Tortola_Island_BVI.jpg\" alt=\"Tortola boat charters in the British Virgin Islands\" width=\"625\" height=\"418\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30238\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tortola Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0natural sailing heaven, with gentle winds pushing you along\u00a0the ribbon of blue water and waves that rarely break, the BVIs will enchant those as soon as you land on <em>terra firma<\/em>. The BVIs really are the ultimate place for a\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/bvi_crewed_catamaran_charter_yachts.php?bbr=bblog\">yacht charter<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to bring some sunshine into your life! While there are some who might like to believe that they are the latest\u00a0Christopher Columbus discovering a New World, reassuringly you won&#8217;t have to sail for months on end to reach this paradise!<\/p>\n<p>Tortola is a good starting point. It is upon this island, (the largest and most populated of the archipelago), where all\u00a0charterers begin their voyage of the BVI. It is important to note that all flights (from Europe, U.S.A, Canada, or South America) must connect through other Caribbean airports to reach the BVI.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=zxCBDZiUtP10.kXfnSDWHM9WY\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For example, for those flying from the UK, a direct flight will take you\u00a0across the world\u00a0to Antigua, where a connecting flight will take you to either Beef Island- Tortola, where your charter will await. For more information regarding UK flights, both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic operate a scheduled service throughout the week.\u00a0Similarly, for those flying from other European countries, most flights will take you to Saint Martin, San Juan and Antigua, from where you would take a connecting flight to either Beef Island- Tortola. Flights from the U.S.A and Canada will take you to either Puerto Rico or Saint Thomas. From both Puerto Rico or Saint Thomas, a ferry would then take\u00a0you across to Beef Island- Tortola.<\/p>\n<p>Phew!\u00a0Now you have arrived, what do you want to see and do during your BVI charter?
