Nearly the entire economy of the Island is dedicated to\u00a0the yachting industry.\u00a0Despite being home to around 80% of the 27,800 residents of the British Virgin Islands, her white-sandy beaches remain quiet and understated, perfect for vacations with friends and family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/tortola_charter.php?bbr=bblog\"><strong>Road Town is the major centre<\/strong><\/a> for almost all commercial and administrative industries in the BVI and home to the Island\u2019s only major international airport. This is where most of the boats are moored and is almost always the starting point for charters. The city offers the one of the largest collections of authentic Caribbean restaurants and bars, and a fantastic variety of entertainment in the evenings.\u00a0Located to the southwest of Road Town is Mount Sage \u2013 a volcanic peak and the highest point in the BVI \u2013 which offers unrivaled panoramic views of the surrounding islands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Screen-Shot-2012-11-08-at-09.03.15.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-42365 \" title=\"MARMOT - Lagoon 67\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Screen-Shot-2012-11-08-at-09.03.15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"237\" \/><\/a>The north coast of the island is where you will find the best beaches, perfect for sailing, surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling. The turquoise waters of Smugglers Cove, on the western tip of the island, are particularly popular with snorkelers but never feel overly crowded.<\/p>\n<p>However, Cane Garden Bay is arguably the most popular beach on the Island. Here you will find one of the Island\u2019s most famous bars and restaurants. \u201cQuito\u2019s Gazebo\u201d, owned by local recording artist Quito Rymer, not only serves great traditional Caribbean food but is also well known for its fantastic entertainment. Holidaymakers can listen to Quito\u2019s acoustic set on Tuesday and Thursday nights, or to his band, \u201cThe Edge\u201d, on Friday and Saturday\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=907\">The<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=907\"> Lagoon 67, MARMOT\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>is one of our favourite crewed catamaran charters available in the BVI.
