The Charter Experience
Charter the Dufour 520 GL as a bareboat and navigate the crystalline waters surrounding Tortola and the British Virgin Islands at your own pace. Based at Nanny Cay Marina on Scrub Island, you have direct access to the archipelago's most coveted anchorages, from the protected anchorage at Norman Island to the white-sand beaches of the Tobago Cays. The yacht's shallow draft and responsive helm make exploring the island chain's intricate passages a genuine pleasure rather than a chore.
Suggested Itinerary
Begin at Nanny Cay and sail east toward Norman Island's sheltered bays, anchor at Peter Island's powder-soft beaches, and explore The Baths on Virgin Gorda where granite boulders create natural swimming grottoes. Continue through the Sir Francis Drake Channel toward the quieter anchorages of Jost Van Dyke, where unspoilt coves and beach bars offer both solitude and social atmosphere. The island-hopping distances suit the Dufour's sailing characteristics perfectly, with most passages completed in a morning's sail.
