Day 1 : Red Hook / Embark
Board in the charming Caribbean village of Red Hook - just 30 minutes from St. Thomas Airport. Once aboard, we weigh anchor for a short hop across Pillsbury Sound, dropping anchor in the turquoise waters of Caneel Bay. After a “welcome aboard” reception, we go ashore to dine at one of Cruz Bay’s premier restaurants, The Equator at Sugar Mill
Day 2 : Tortola / Norman Island (B, L, D)
Early risers can breakfast with the sunrise over the distant verdant hilltops of St. Thomas. Arabella gets underway early for our first stop in the British Virgin Islands-Soper’s Hole, Tortola, where we clear customs. After a short swim we hoist sails. By mid-afternoon we’ve dropped the hook off the caves of Norman Island for our first snorkeling adventure (snorkeling gear is provided-however you are welcome to bring your own). The Caves are famous for their spectacular rock formations and crystal clear water. We’ll also launch our kayaks for those who wish to explore further. Dinner will be @ Pirate’s Bight on us. After dinner, the more adventurous can take the launch to the “William T. Thornton”, a floating nightspot/pirate ship of much ill-repute.
Day 3 : Virgin Gorda (B, L, D)
Enjoy breakfast lounging on deck while the crew prepares for today’s sail. A sail up the channel brings us to Cooper’s Island, a quiet and beautiful beach. Underway again, we pass the resort of Little Dix Bay and enter the protected waters of North Sound, Virgin Gorda. Tonight we moor off the world-renowned Bitter End Yacht Club, where all are invited ashore for the famous Tuesday night barbeque-buffet.
Day 4 : North Sound, Virgin Gorda (B, L)
Arabella remains in North Sound. All Arabella guests are welcome at the Bitter End’s facilities. Lounge by the pool, schedule a massage, or take a windsurfing lesson! The Bitter End has more than two hundred watercraft at your disposal from Boston Whalers to Catamarans. The day includes snorkeling, dive expeditions, and a daylong trip to the island of Anegada for the reefs. This evening the world is your oyster, or at least this small part of it is! Within a short launch trip are several dining options, ranging from the five-star cuisine at the Biras Creek Resort to the casual pub at the Bitter End.
Day 5 : Salt Island / Peter Island (B, L, D)
After breakfast we bid adieu to Virgin Gorda, setting off on a brisk reach past the Dog Islands and Salt Island, named for the salt works that produce the BVI’s yearly levi to the British Crown. We drop anchor in Spanish Town with shuttles to the Bath’s. We then have a late afternoon sail to Marina Cay where you may go ashore to Pussers, then we have a dinner aboard.
Day 6 : Jost Van Dyke (B, L, D)
We sail to White Bay for a great beach day where you may visit the Soggy Dollar Bar for a drink, then have lunch on board. We then shift our anchorage to Jost Van Dyke. Early evening we will rendezvous at one of the most famous restaurants and nightclubs in the islands, Foxy’s. We have timed our stop here for the well-known Friday Night Barbeque Bash. There will be lots of food and lighthearted entertainment and a chance to end our trip in style. After dinner, guests might choose to either quietly stroll in the moonlight feeling the tropical breeze or dance to the Caribbean rhythm.
Day 7 : St. Thomas / Disembark (B)
This morning we will set sail for the last time and proceed to St. Thomas. We make a short stop to St. John’s to clear customs, and should arrive at Red Hook in the late morning. All guests will disembark with their bags, and their memories.
