Would like referrals and personal experience on boating in BVI. Any experience with power boats versus sail (if sail, would prefer catamaran). Island choices, etc. would be appreciated.

Hi Karen <BR>We have just transferred our holiday to the BVI from Croatia! I too am looking for people who have "been there and done that" to ask for their experiences. Hope to hear something soon.

There's a ton of bareboat info on the TravelTalk/BVI bulletin board. (www.traveltalk.com) People have shared both good and bad experiences, which I really appreciate. Have a great time! <BR>

Loved BVI's and going back in Nov. We tried Windjammer Legacy and loved it since we had never experienced sailing and had never been the these islands. Loved Tortola, rented a car, beautiful beaches. Norman Island was fun at Billy Bones Beach Bar. They have a web site. Eileen

We have chartered with North South out of Nanny Cay, Tortola for the last three years. They have been around for a long time and are one of the most reasonably priced charter outfits. Although their equipment shows a bit of weat and tear, we found the service to be great and any minor problems didn't keep us from going back. I highly recommend sailing in the BVI, monohull or cat, both are great. It is one of the 3 best places in the world to sail! You'll never forget it! email me if you'd like more details on other charter companies, things to see, restaurants...etc.

<BR>Suggestions: take clothes pins for wet clothes. Take a throw away camera for on deck, if it's alittle rockin" you don't want a good camera to accidently fall, but you don't want to miss the shots of large sea turtles or any thing else that you may encounter.
