We will be on Tortola mid-April and we would like to take a few day sails to other beaches, islands, and snorkel spots. Ihave heard that there are great excursions that offer lunch, etc. Are there any that were especially great? We would appreciate any response. Thanks!

Dive BVI has a great trip to Anegada.

<BR>We bareboated the BVIs, the Baths on VG was the best site. I don't dive, however, and not sure how the diving there is.

DJ, <BR>The Patouche catamaran 1/2 day or whole is a blast. A nice boat about 45' and pretty fast too. Some very good snorkeling in quite a few different locations, and the owners are real nice.

The "Spirit of Anegada" was an excellent day sail in the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Snorkeling is included. The owners are Nick and Lyndsay at 284-495-5937.

Hi...I would have to recommend the Patouche also. Claudia and Frenchie are the best. <BR>Have a good trip. <BR>Laurie

I vote jor Patouche. Claudia and Frenchy do a really fine job at making the group of 10-12 comfortable and at home. Claudia is also an RN which pretty well takes care of any health/safety problems. <BR>Patouche does day and half day trips, always to the small uninhabited (or mostly uninhabited) outer islands where the snorkling is really tops. My wife and I have gone back for 3 more trips with them. I recommend them highly! <BR>A second, very interesting option is to take the Fly BVI puddle jumper over to Anegada for snorkling off the beaches. It's not a sail and it's a bit pricy, but it's fun and includes a lobster dinner on the beach. <BR>
