Patouche Charters is now offering overnight charters. Bareboat or crewed, it’s your choice. How would you like to wake up at a different island every day during your next vacation? Sound like heaven? Here is a sample itinerary of what that vacation could be:
	Arrival Day Cast off from our dock in Road Harbour and set sail on a beam reach for Norman Island, home of the Caves and the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel, 'Treasure Island'. Snorkel the Caves (the only spot in the Virgin Islands with documented evidence that treasure was actually found!) and then motor a short distance around the corner into the Bight which provides a perfect anchorage for your first night. Eat, drink and be merry aboard the floating bar/restaurant 'The William Thornton', or go ashore to ‘Pirates’ for dinner.
	Salt Island, Day One A short beat up the Sir Francis Drake Channel takes you to Salt Island. Here you can pick up the National Parks’ moorings and either dive or snorkel the wreck of the Royal Mail Steamship Rhone; a relic of the hurricane of 1867 and famous for its part in the movie 'The Deep'. Alternatively, go ashore and visit the settlement and the salt pond from which the island takes its name. The annual rent for the whole island is paid each year directly to the Queen of England and is a bag of salt! After lunch, sail on to Cooper Island. There you can pick up a mooring in front of the beach club bar and restaurant. There's a dive shop there, too.
	Virgin Gorda, Day Two Sail to the Baths, one of the most unique natural formations in the BVI (and the World). The Baths consist of thousands of smooth boulders, some as big as a house, strewn along the beach on the southern tip of Virgin Gorda. The Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean is the only other place on Earth where you’ll find a feature like this. You can explore the many gaps that open into massive rocky grottos filled with sea water. Nearby is Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, with a full service marina, shops and restaurants. In the afternoon, sail north and east to Virgin Gorda’s North Sound, surrounded with safe anchorages, snorkelling spots, beach bars and restaurants.
	Anegada, Day Three Either relax and spend the day in North Sound or sail the 15 miles north to Anegada. Anegada means 'drowned island' and when you see it you'll realize why! The highest point is 28 feet above sea level and it's famous for fresh lobster, iguanas and flamingos. You will have to leave North Sound early in order to arrive at Anegada during the middle of the day. This will give you good light to navigate through the coral heads at the entrance to the anchorage. Take a taxi ride to Lo’blolly Bay on the north side and snorkel inside the reef. Then go back to the anchorage for sunset cocktails and a lobster dinner at the Anegada Reef Hotel or Neptune's Treasure.
	Trellis Bay, Day Four Sail from either North Sound or Anegada to Trellis Bay on Beef Island, a well-protected natural harbour and home of the famous restaurant and cabaret 'The Last Resort'. If you prefer a more tranquil spot then try Marina Cay across the channel to the north, off Great Camanoe. It features a Pusser’s restaurant that has a great happy hour and casual dining. There’s also a new restaurant on Scrub Island called Donovans Reef; access can be made by dinghy from Marina Cay.
	Cane Garden Bay/Jost Van Dyke, Day Five Weigh anchor and take a short cruise up to beautiful Guana Island for spectacular snorkelling and a superb beach at Monkey Point. It's a great spot to picnic. Then take an afternoon sail west to either Cane Garden Bay on Tortola's lush north shore, or to the islands of Jost Van Dyke and Little Jost Van Dyke. Both locations have good anchorages, beautiful beaches, hiking, beach bars and unique restaurants for your share of the evening's entertainment.
	Soper's Hole/Peter Island, Day Six Anchor off Sandy Spit or Green Cay and enjoy a swim in to shore. You can walk around the whole island in five minutes, but snorkelling around is more fun. Then sail west to Soper's Hole Wharf, the home of Pusser's Landing, said to be built on the spot where Blackbeard the pirate once lived. Ashore there are restaurants and provisions. For your last night, sail across the channel to Little or Great Harbour, Peter Island. Road Harbour, Day Seven Enjoy the sunrise over the hills of Peter Island, take an early morning swim or snorkel and then weigh anchor for a short sail across the channel back to the Patouche docks. Doesn't that sound Great!
	The British Virgin Islands offer great sailing between many small islands and anchorages, fantastic dining ashore and friendly people. As a small company, we are able to have time for our guests, so whatever you need to make your bareboat/crewed charter perfect; a pristine yacht, champagne on arrival or help with wedding plans; the Patouche crew will be glad to help.
