20 years ago my husband and I had the greatest honeymoon ever. We went to Tortola and stayed one day at the Treasure Island Hotel. It was quite a shock to have no tv, radio or telephone service. We boarded a 50′ Benetoit
with two other couples. We had a captain and first mate because I was the only one with sailing experience. We went to Peter Island, Yost Van Dyk,
St John’s, Bitter End. We were extremely lucky because the first mate took us snorkling and we explored the caves and fed the fish. One of the most exciting things that happened is my husband and I were laying in our cabin with the hatch open and got to see the Southern Cross! I could go on and on, but my recommendation is to go there, sail there and you will be transformed by the experience.

Looks like an amazing place!
