Sailing in the Caribbean
Soterion is based in the beautiful British Virgin Islands which offers some of the most enjoyable and safest sailing to be found anywhere in the world. The pristine water and charming islands mean your crewed yacht charter on catamaran Soterion will be a perfect blend of sailing, watersports and land-based activities, all set to your agenda.

Soterion is also available to charter out of the USVI (please contact your charter broker with regard to visa requirements and restrictions on numbers of passengers). She is also available throughout the Caribbean please enquire for information.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) have stunning, secluded anchorages, steady tradewinds and short hops between the islands which makes it the ideal charter ground for both experienced sailors and those who have never set foot on a boat before. The perfect vacation for everyone from eight years old to eighty years young.

You will be spoilt for choice with over 50 bays, cays and anchorages to visit. The majority of the islands are uninhabited but there are still several beach bars and restaurants to visit, including the legendary Willy T anchored off Norman Island and Foxy’s on Jost Van Dyke. There are no multi-storey hotels cluttering the view, no gambling facilities and no golf course. A sailing vacation in the BVI is perfect for those looking to switch off from the demands of everyday life and truly relax.

The stunningly clear water is home to a huge array of colourful fish and other marine life. Not surprisingly, therefore, the British Virgin Islands are recognised as one of the top scuba diving and snorkelling destinations in the world. If you would like to scuba dive during your charter, Captain Sasha will be happy to arrange this with one of the excellent rendez-vous diving companies.

If you are travelling from the UK or Europe, the easiest route is to fly to Antigua and then catch a LIAT flight to Terrance B Lettsome International Airport (EIS) which is nine miles (15km) from Village Cay Marina, Tortola.

If you are coming from the States, most guests fly to Puerto Rico and catch an American Eagle flight to EIS. Alternatively, you can fly to St Thomas and get one of the regular, high speed ferries to the British Virgin Islands (approximately a 45 minute trip). The US dollar is the local currency in both the US and British Virgin Islands. If taking traveller's cheques, we recommend you keep them in smaller denominations. Major credit cards are generally accepted in the larger restaurants and hotels.
