Learn to Sail in the British Virgin Islands with
Upper Bay Sailing School, the best Caribbean Sailing School.
Our BVI Sailing School provides sailing lessons and certifications for
beginners, bareboat charters and advanced sailing. The British Virgin Islands offer steady trade
winds, crystal clear water and protected anchorages with beautiful
scenery, world renowned beaches, and safe, comfortable overnight anchorages.
With our Caribbean Sailing School you could experience a different anchorage each night
while learning how to sail -- does it get any better! We start and end our
sailing lessons from our BVI Sailing School base at Nanny Cay Resort and Marina on Tortola.
