Best BVI Cruising Guide

Virgin Anchorages book

The Scott's guide will surely be what you will find on the boat..Most boats also have a copy of Virgin Anchorages with is a picture book of anchorages. Any other guide would be a distant third.

Where are you? I have years of the Scott guide and would loan you one before you get there if you are close to Annapolis.

I just got back from a delivery to BVI. What a great cruising ground.
I second the recommendation of Virgin Anchorages -- it is an excellent companion to Scott's Cruising Guide. I wouldn't count on MOST boats having this on board, though. I bought my own copy and bring it with me whenever I go--I make notes on the pages that I use as references for future trips. I have never regretted spending the money on it.

PortsByBoat.com

We have found the online website Ports by Boat | Sailing and Boating Cruising Guide with Trip Planner. a pretty neat tool for finding anchorages, moorings, and points-of-interest. It lists a few stops like restaurants and buffets and snorkel sites as well...

Have fun. :D
I just jumped on the site, only went to Block Island, Rhode Island. The location of a marina was incorrectly posted.

That was the only place I went, though; the site looks like it has potential! The user just may want to confirm information with another source as well.

I bookmarked it; I will definitely go back to take another look at it.
