The BVI

Located 100 kilometers (60 miles) east of Puerto Rico, these islands have a balmy, subtropical climate. The islands of the BVI form almost an oval around Tortola, the largest island. They are volcanic in origin, apart from Anegada which is formed of coral and limestone and is the lowest lying.  The BVI is endowed with dramatic mountain ranges, small valleys, and some flat fertile agriculture land.

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a collection of 60 islands, cays, and rocks forming the northern extremity of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean.  Mostly uninhabited, these islands set the stage for an adventure in saltwater fly fishing.

The BVI offers pristine water, abundant game fish, and idyllic weather.  High temperatures typically get up around 82˚ F and lows drop to around 75˚ F.  The beaches are some of the most beautiful in the Caribbean!

Our “home base” is located at Nanny Cay on the island of Tortola.

Slow paced, friendly, safe, and easily accessible, the BVI is “Nature’s Little Secret”.  Currency is the US dollar, and English is the common language.
