What could be better than learning to sail in the warm climate of the British Virgin Islands? This is the gateway to you becoming your own skipper on a sailing vacation. Spend a week sailing the islands of Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, Norman Island. Anchor up and sleep aboard in the gorgeous bays of North Sound, White Bay, and Savannah Bay. Tack and gybe around in the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Here, you'll experience advanced sailing training in a real bareboat chartering location. And when you're ready to do it for yourself, you'll already be familiar with the area.

From the helm of a high-performance powerboat to the mast of a racing sloop, my life has been defined by the turquoise waters of the British Virgin Islands. I am Coach Javan—a lifelong mariner, dual-certified instructor, and the owner-operator of a premier BVI powerboat charter fleet. My sailing journey began on an Optimist at the tender age of 6 in Road Harbour. For the next decade, we (my fellow sailors and I) competed in a dozen regattas every year. Over the years, more than a dozen sailing instructors volunteered and poured into us to ensure that we would have the opportunity to become professional sailors. Our last regatta boat was a IC24 (a modified J/24). I continue to enjoy living on Tortola and working as a private boating coach at any charter company in The British Virgin Islands - The Sailing Capital of the World. I love nurturing boaters and the nautical lifestyle.
