It’s hard not to want to go back to the British Virgin Islands once you’ve cruised there. In fact, I keep going back again and again, discovering something new in some of the best, easiest and most welcoming cruising grounds on the planet. Here’s a guide to Soper’s Hole, at the end of Tortola, the largest island there and the base of most of the BVI’s charter fleet. The story is geared a bit toward sail, but all the points apply to powerboats as well. Indeed, the last time I was there was to clear Customs on a trawler my wife and I had chartered just across the way in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgins. In addition to being the entry point for the BVI, Soper’s Hole has everything you need for a great charter/cruise/vacation: provisioning, marinas, restaurants, history and watering holes (I personally recommend a Pusser’s painkiller, but note that I use the singular).
