Artemis BVI

10/11/2023

12 months ago I started writing Charter Sailing Musings, a blog about all things to do with bareboat chartering in the BVI. Since then close to 100 people have become regular viewers and I'd like to encourage all with interest to click on the link (there is no cost!) and take a look. Of course, if you want to learn more or take a trip with your family and friends you can read about how it works and then drop me a line! Happy browsing!

Itinerary planning - an often debated topic

When I look at BVI discussion pages on Facebook one of the most common requests is for input on a charterer’s itinerary, or float plan, for their week of charter. It makes sense; if you are only spending a short time in the islands you want to make sure you are taking advantage of the best places ...

There are many reasons to sail, or be on the water some other way, but up there near the top of the list has to be the sunsets! Certain weather/cloud conditions contribute to a better sunset. Mid level and higher cloud are essential, as that allows a sort of ‘sky canopy’ to reflect the red and y...

New blog post up...

The beauty of a sailing holiday is that you get to change your surroundings as often as you like. Don’t get me wrong, I like visiting a nice resort and chilling on the beach as much as the next person, but when I see a sailing boat drop anchor in the bay, and watch them haul the next day and move ...

New blog about how to get started with Bare Boat chartering. How do you learn?

People often ask me this. “How do you get comfortable that people chartering your boat know what they are doing?” In the BVI for instance, as in many parts of the world, there isn’t a requirement for a charterer to show a level of certification before you are given the keys to a large sailing ...

New blog post up... sharing some of our favorite restaurant stops, and thoughts on the Conch Fritter!

We recently came back from a trip round the BVI in Artemis, our Lagoon 46 catamaran in charter with TMM Yacht charters. As is typical on these trips we spent a decent amount of time checking out restaurants/beach bars and various local foods ashore.

New blog up, not about sailing this time, but about RUM!

I do enjoy rum. I don’t really enjoy other brown liquor but I do enjoy rum. Used as a base for a mix drink or for something more simple, I enjoy the molasses flavor and the vibe that comes with it! Having spent 10 years in the Royal Navy in the early part of my career I appreciate the links betwee...
