In the United States of America the boating industry is a big, big marketplace and it covers all aspects of boating such as fishing boats right up to yachts. Whether you own a dingy or a yacht at some point in time you are going to have to think about caring for your boat and boat care is a massive business all of its own.

If you’ve ever considered a British Virgin Islands vacation, you probably have heard it called the Caribbean’s sailing capitol. There are many excellent reasons for this name, from the weather to the communities on the islands.

The presence of almost constant trade winds in Tortola, the warm temperature of the seas, the idyllic coastline with its pristine white sand beaches, fringed by swaying palm trees - all these aspects combine to produce perfect yachting waters. With upwards of 50 bays and cays and anchorages to select from, it is little wonder that the British Virgin Islands are amongst the Caribbean’s most popular sailing areas.
