This kiteboarding charter concentrates on 4 main kitespots in the Islands of Virgin Gorda, Anageda and Jost Van Dyke and each destination has a completely different feel. Jost Van Dyke offers great snorkeling, pristine beaches and fun beach bars for the thirsty kiter. Gorda Sound offers several stunning kite spots in its reef fringed lagoons and private islands. Anegada is a lost paradise away from the crowds. The kite conditions here are as good as it gets with turquoise lagoons, long distance crossings and wave spots on the reefs.
The B.V.I. consist of 4 main islands and over 60 smaller cays which together form one of the most renowned destinations in the Caribbean. Power and sailing yachts from all over the world flock to visit the British Virgin Islands during the peak months and the sight of the anchorages can be impressive. The main kitesurf locations are the deserted paradise of Anegada and the huge reef fringed lagoons to the north of Virgin Gorda.
The British Virgin Islands offer spectacular kiteboarding conditions for riders of all levels. Most of the best B.V.I. kite spots are in flat water lagoons protected from the ocean swells by coral reefs. For more advanced kiteboarders there is excellent wave riding in Anegada with flatter water inside the lagoon for intermediates and beginners. All anchorages are sheltered and comfortable for relaxing on the catamaran.
Start your journey through the B.V.I. and check out some of main kite spots visited during the trip.
Our Virgin Islands kiteboarding charters usually start from Trellis Bay, right by the main airport in Tortola. When everyone is aboard the catamaran there is usually time for a quick kite session before sundown in the nearby island called Marina Cay. Just a few minutes sail across the channel we anchor behind this small resort and launch kiteboarders straight off the back of the catamaran! Nothing better than kiting in turquoise water within 1 hour of leaving the airport!
Gorda Sound is the most popular kiteboarding spot in the British Virgin Islands and offers a vast playground of turquoise lagoons framed by picturesque tropical islands. The main action takes place around Saba Rock which is a tiny island with a small resort and a very popular happy hour! For more space and flatter conditions we often sail around to the other side of the bay and Kite in front of Richard Brandsons private Island! Launching off the catamaran is standard practice but we sometimes are allowed to launch from Google Island if it is not rented out!
Anegada has to be one of the Caribbeans most hidden kiteboarding gems. The western side of the island is completely deserted with miles of palm lined, white sand beaches blending into the turquoise sea. The offshore conditions make for ultra flat kitesurfing and wingfoiling. If the wind is light this is also an excellent wakeboarding spot.
On the North shore there is an outstanding right hand wave over shallow reef for the advanced waveriders. Inside the lagoon is another stunning, deserted for riders of all levels. Further upwind inside the lagoon is Cow Wreck Bay where there is a great spot for lunch and a local kite school.
Jost Van Dyke is a beautiful island to the West of the B.V.I. and is well known for its live music and new years eve parties at ‘Foxy’s’ and the ‘Soggy Dollar’. If you are in for a night out then this is the place!
Sandy Spit is a nearby sand bar which offers a great little anchorage and some fun kiting conditions. There is a nice little flat area close to the anchorage but with only space for 1 or 2 kiters. The main kiting area is out past the spit in the channel where there can be some fun swells to ride.
