Emma Paull, from Tortola Sailing and Sights Sailing School, provided the following update. She said, “If anyone asks you about Learning to Sail in the BVI – please let them know about our school.” Emma also added that, “We have invested heavily in rebuilding our fleet to provide a comprehensive program of Sailing, Powerboat and Rib instruction.”
If you would like to learn to sail in paradise, Tortola Sailing & Sights is the friendliest ASA and IYT sailing school in the British Virgin Islands, Caribbean. They teach all levels from beginners, intermediate & advanced sailors in Monohulls and Catamarans. They are also one of the only schools in the BVI to teach the IYT power bareboat course and they also teach small RIB and powerboat courses.
Soley BVI based, Tortola Sailing & Sights operates out of Penn’s Landing Marina, located in the East End on Tortola. They offer calm patient instructors who are passionate about sailing. The BVI provides constant winds, fantastic weather and great sailing.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
