Caribbean Sailing, Snorkeling, and Scuba Diving in the British Virgin Islands
The Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands (BVI) offers one of the finest sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving destinations in the world. For your Caribbean adventure vacation and private “cruise”, you sail on a marvelous sailboat, the Cuan Law, the world’s largest trimaran, an ideal place to rest and relax, BVI-style, especially if you love the water!!
Imagine waking up in your own private en suite stateroom, then wandering through the vast main salon of the trimaran to its wonderful expanse of open deck. Here you are greeted by sunny Caribbean skies and some of the loveliest tropical scenery in the Islands. Luxuriate in the Caribbean’s warm turquoise waters and explore its soft white-sand beaches. Experience the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the Caribbean just by stepping off the boat. Enjoy exhilarating days of sailing in gentle Caribbean breezes, leisurely BVI island explorations, and beachside barbeques as well as gourmet international cuisine. You choose your level of adventure: go sea kayaking, sail a Hobie Cat, catch the dinghy to shore for an island hike, relax in a hammock on the deck of the boat, or just read a book in the lounge.
Main Attractions
Live aboard a luxury yacht and sail the Caribbean, an experience rated as “one of the top five vacations in the world” by travel writers.
Six days/six nights fully crewed and privately chartered Caribbean sailing trip aboard the world’s largest trimaran, Cuan Law, in luxurious double stateroom accommodations.
Sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, sea kayaking, and more each day in different locations throughout the Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands.
All-inclusive meal package with “completely decadent and fabulous cuisine...” served under the aft deck canopy with “views that change with every meal”.
This is AdventureWomen’s longest-running, most popular winter Caribbean getaway!
The accommodations aboard Cuan Law are spacious and comfortable. There are ten large double staterooms, each with twin beds. Every stateroom is located directly off the main lounge so that it has an outside view (and two hatches to catch the ocean breezes). Storage space is abundant with shelves and two large drawers per guest, as well as a hanging closet in each room. There's even space for hard suitcases under your bed!
Cabins are fully air-conditioned with a thermostat so you can adjust to your desired temperature. Two hatches give you the option of natural ventilation, along with splendid views.
All staterooms have a private bathroom with a shower and a toilet that works just like the ones back home. Fluffy, colorful towels and quality linens add the finishing touch. There is a standard 110 outlet, and every bathroom contains an overhead hatch. Safety requirements demand that each room on the ship has two escape routes, so all hatches are person-sized.
The spacious salon is the social hub aboard the boat, with cabins arranged in a U-shape around the front and sides. This common area serves as a central gathering place for guests and crew. The atmosphere is bright and cheery. Large sofas, tables, and easy chairs provide plenty of places to lounge, read, or take an afternoon nap. There is a library of books and magazines available. Overhead hatches let in light, and central air-conditioning keeps the room cool and dry.

Trip Itinerary
Days 1-7: Sailing, Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Swimming, Sea Kayaking, Sailing Hobie Cats A typical day in the Caribbean aboard the Cuan Law ...
When you hear a bell, it’s either time to snorkel and dive, or to eat! Mornings begin with the a buffet-style breakfast that includes coffee, fresh fruits and juices, homemade muffins, breads and pastries, a variety of cereal, and a sumptuous hot meal. Before breakfast, however, you might paddle a sea kayak or just sit on the deck and watch the sun rise.
After breakfast you set sail. There are dozens of anchorages and more than 100 dive sites for scuba divers and snorkelers. With such an abundance of vibrant shallow reefs and intriguing caves, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to grab a mask and snorkel or to scuba dive to investigate the marine world.
Lunch is an elaborate buffet served under the shaded rear deck canopy. You’ll enjoy such culinary masterpieces as homemade pizza, quiche, fantastic fresh salads, and savory vegetables.
After lunch, you sail to your anchorage for the night where you’ll have more opportunities for snorkeling or scuba diving. You might also want to go ashore to some of the best sandy white beaches anywhere in the world, especially on the day of the special beach barbecue at “The Baths” on Virgin Gorda, a unique rock formation of huge boulders and hidden sea pools. Crystal blue waters and many pools filled with tropical fish make this area a popular snorkeling and scuba diving spot.
Between meals there are plenty of snacks including bowls of chocolate goodies (the way to a woman’s heart), fresh fruit, and delicious hors d’oeuvres in the afternoon.
And dinner... aah. A classic sit-down event with china and crystal is the culinary highlight of the day. A savory blend of international cuisine and hearty island cooking are complimented by a selection of fine wines. And make sure you save some room for those diet-defying deserts such as Key Lime Pie and Brownies Fantasia. Needless to say, this is not the time to start the diet you’ve been meaning to begin!
After dinner you might have a rousing game of “Dimes” (a favorite game of AdventureWomen in the Caribbean, along with the boat’s crew!), or watch the sun go down as you sip a nightcap from the boat’s bar. Scuba divers have the option to do an exciting night dive, an experience you won’t soon forget!
