The British Virgin Islands scatter 60 mostly-uninhabited cays around the Sir Francis Drake Channel, with the Baths' giant boulders on Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke's Soggy Dollar Bar, and yacht charter the standard transport.

When to Visit
Dec-Apr
Trade-wind dry season with bareboat charters at peak, BVI Spring Regatta the last week of March, and the Baths reachable without summer cruise-ship pressure.
May-Jul
Sea calmest, BVI Emancipation Festival the first week of August aside, and rates dropping after Easter with quieter charter pickups at Tortola.
Aug-Oct
Hurricane season peaks September with elevated risk, charter base hauls boats out, and many beach bars from Soggy Dollar to Foxy's close.
Nov
Hurricane risk fading, dry season returning, and the BVI Wreck Week dive event mid-November on the RMS Rhone wreck off Salt Island.
