A recent blog post on Motorboating.com is a great sales pitch for anyone considering chartering a boat to explore the many islands of the BVI chain.

Pierce Hoover states, ‘One of the many attractions of the BVI is the close proximity of so many great island destinations and protected harbors within this relatively compact archipelago – that and the steady easterly trade winds sailors love.’

He transformed a group of boating newbies into cruising converts who swam with the dolphins and agreed the vacation experience was superior to a large cruise ship or staying in one hotel. Also, ‘The cost was equal to or less than the price of a similar week aboard a big ship or ashore in a resort.’
