We have our
Lagoon 42, Ocean Song, in the TMM
charter fleet in the BVI. Before
buying Ocean Song we did the typical 7 - 10 day charters and moved from anchorage (or
mooring field) to anchorage each day. Now we are fortunate to be able to spend 2 - 3 weeks each time we
cruise the BVI. We often stay in the same anchorage for a couple of days at a time. We have found it to be much more fun and relaxing. We are generally traveling with folks approaching middle age and seldom with
children so the urge to go, go, go isn't there with us.
Our other approach is to
anchor in the more secluded spots when conditions are right. Try Hallovers Bay on
Cooper and Key Bay on Peter for example as a way to get away from the crowds. The captain will know the more secluded spots but he or she will probably only suggest the more popular places to
anchor. Be willing to make suggestions to your captain, it's your charter!
