Jump Ship in the BVIs

View Untitled in a larger map

If you ever find yourself cruising around the BVIs, you probably won't be in a hurry to get off the boat. But the latest promotion from the five-star Biras Creek Resort on Virgin Gorda makes a pretty good argument for dry land: When chartering a sail with Horizon Yacht Charters, you can Jump Ship for a night and get a taste of the luxury resort's offerings - including Garden Suite accommodations with a private outdoor shower, gourmet breakfast, lunch and dinner, and use of the spa, pool, tennis courts and other amenities - all for the discounted rate of $575 double occupancy per night. The same rooms go for $700 in low season - $950 in high - so it's a pretty convincing reason to dock for a night or two and check it out.

Contact Horizon Yacht Charters or Biras Creek to set up your trip between now and December 17, then check out our other recent blog about mooring at Royal Plantation in the Bahamas.

What's not to love about sailing through the Caribbean? There's the sun on your face, the wind at your back, and that intoxicating Titanic sensation you get from charting a course to any exotic destination you like. Out on the open water, it’s easy to feel that just maybe you really are the king of the world. (I like to act this scene out whenever possible on a ship, though I prefer princess). But whether your vessel of choice is a mega yacht or dingy, sometimes you need to give your sea legs a break.

The folks over at Royal Plantation know the feeling, and they're giving you yachties a convincing reason to get off the boat. Next time you find yourself adrift in the Exumas, drop anchor at the 50-acre private island resort and check out the Escape Offshore package, which buys you a five-course dinner at the Harbour Club, and includes unlimited wine, champagne, and premium cocktails. The tab? Just $100 per person...a price that could turn even diehard seafarers into landlubbers. With all the free drinks, though, please consider a designated captain for your return voyage.
