Some Important Tips
What to expect
During your 5- to 10-day voyage, you will live aboard a large sailboat in a double-occupancy private cabin with your own restroom and shower. All vessels are equipped with a refrigerator and freezer. Larger vessels will also have TV and air conditioning. On average, you will sail for about 2–3 hours per day, so there is no need to worry about sea sickness. We want to maximize the amount of time you spend each day enjoying the beaches, pristine waters, and fabulous food of the British Virgin Islands.
- Learn the principles of sailing
- Visit pristine beaches accessible only by boat
- Explore national parks, hidden coves, and outstanding Caribbean restaurants
- Make new friends in a fun and friendly atmosphere

Your trip of a life time, in some faraway paradise. Nothing like it. Ever! And the skipper is cool too. :)

Exceptional service! This is one of the most memorable vacation that you can have!
Mike Ruhman, New York, NY.
5 Star! I would characterize my vacation experience with Empire Sailing as top notch. I loved cruising on the beautiful boat, saw breathtaking sunsets, had fun snorkeling and landed on more then few islands. It was also about the Captain. It was obvious he was experienced Captain, completely in control, knew all the islands, restaurants and locals who he knew personally. To me this was an absolute winner over any type of Beach vacation or Royal Caribbean type of getaway. Hands down happy camper.

This was one of the most memorable trips I ever made, truly blown away by beauty of islands and just being at sea everyday. Roman goes above and beyound to make sure everyone is having a great time and not a minute is wasted. Can't wait to have more trips with our captain Roman and Empire Sailing.

Only 5*?? I would give it 500 ☺ I experienced pure WONDER!! The scenery of BVI is just surreal and startling from every angle. The pics won't need any retouching, they all look like they came off the T&L magazine. The experience will re-charge your batteries for a long time, fill you with lifetime memories and Captain Roman The Great should take a huge credit for all of the above. He is very experienced and patient with the clueless guests ☺ Roma was so personable, making us feel right at home. He tailored each day for us and filled it with incredible beaches, snorkeling spots, caves, lagoons, desert islands, excursions ashore to explore very cool and one of a kind, atmospheric local bars, nice restaurants and lounges, great look out spots, authentic souvenir art gallery and shops. The only con I can think of is one might get addicted to sailing, waking up to the breathtaking sunrises and like me return to shore only to plan the next voyage. February 5, 2016
