Sailing Virgins: Adventure Sailing in the BVI

Sailing Virgins provides a unique sailing experience in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), specifically designed for adventurous individuals in their 20s and 30s. Unlike traditional sailing schools, Sailing Virgins combines comprehensive sailing instruction with an exciting travel experience, fostering a social environment for young adults. Based in Road Town, Tortola, Sailing Virgins offers American Sailing Association (ASA) certified courses, enabling students to gain the skills and confidence to skipper their own yachts. The courses emphasize hands-on learning, with students actively participating in navigation, boat handling, and sailing techniques. The school's flagship boat, Libertas, is a Beneteau First 40 Racer/Cruiser, ensuring students train on a well-maintained and capable vessel. Sailing Virgins distinguishes itself by creating a global network of adventurous young people. The courses often involve sailing between different bays and islands in the BVI, or even longer voyages to destinations like St. Martin and Saba. This approach allows students to explore the beauty of the Caribbean while developing their sailing skills in a real-world setting. The school also focuses on creating a relaxed and supportive learning environment, encouraging students to learn by doing and making mistakes.
