BVI Sailing Charter Add-On: History & Stories at Every Anchorage

5.0
(1 reviews)
Tortola, British Virgin Islands

8 hours to 1 day (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Why is it called Dead Chest Island? What really happened on Norman Island? Who was Jost Van Dyke, and why is half the archipelago named after him?

A self-guided tour on your phone, built specifically for people discovering these stories by boat, not by tour bus: bareboat, crewed, sailing or power. Every anchorage in the BVI is hiding a story — a wreck, a smuggler, a legend nobody's quite sure is true.

Download before you leave home and each stop comes to life exactly when you get there, in whatever order your charter takes you — narrated in audio by our friendly pirate guide, or read at your own pace in text. It runs fully offline, however far you are from a signal.

Along the way: a 50-question BVI quiz to settle who actually knows their history, and a digital treasure hunt played out across the islands. Snap photo and video challenges as you go, and we'll email the crew's memories back as a digital album.
