Have you ever snorkeled at night? A bioluminescent fantasyland awaits you at our teen sailing adventure camps in the British Virgin Islands, courtesy of thousands of miniscule single-celled algae. Just wave your arms quickly and the water comes alive from a chemical reaction inside these amazing living lights. There aren't many land creatures that have this ability (a firefly is one), but the warm Caribbean waters are teeming with a huge variety of glow in the darks!
The Bravo programs are Sail Caribbean's traditional BVI sailing and watersports adventures. Learn to windsurf or wakeboard, and even try scuba diving, attend marine biology seminars, or take the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training course - it's up to you. No previous sailing experience is necessary for these ten-day to three-week programs that include 5-10 hours of community service. Starting at our home base in Tortola, we sail three to four hours a day to a variety of marinas and anchorages in the British Virgin Islands. The days include sailing instruction and plenty of high-energy watersports, beach activities, and island exploration. You might even decide to go that extra mile by taking one of our optional courses. Whatever your skills or interest, you can create an island adventure all your own.
Itinerary
On the Bravo sailing adventure, we'll travel to the most famous locations in the BVI, as well as some quiet hideaways where you'll see a side of the islands that only the locals know. You'll dance with stilt walkers at our Fireball Party at Trellis Bay, sail Hobiecats at the Bitter End Yacht Club on Virgin Gorda, search for an undiscovered wreck on the reefs of Anegada, hike to the top of Gorda Peak for a panoramic view of all the islands you've visited, and explore the enormous boulders at the Baths, one of the most extraordinary natural wonders you'll find anywhere. Bravo is full of summer adventures. See a sample Bravo itinerary
Learning
Learning feels natural and easy at Sail Caribbean. Everyday our Bravo staff teach you the art of sailing as you develop your skills in idyllic conditions. Together with your crewmates, you'll learn by doing, and you'll be sailing with confidence before you know it. Our staff will guide you with enthusiasm, sharing their knowledge and skills so that you can learn successfully at your own pace without pressure. Living aboard a 50-foot sailboat means you're living in an environment where participation and cooperation are essential. You'll learn the true meaning of teamwork. More about learning
Activities
How blue can blue water be? Sail Caribbean water is so blue you can't wait to jump in and try every watersport we've got. Of all our programs, Bravo offers the widest array of activities and devotes the most time to watersports. Learn to windsurf, explore the coast in a kayak, or even take a thrilling ride on a wakeboard or tube. Apply your new sailing skills on a Hobie Cat or Laser, or grab your snorkel, mask, and fins and get a dazzling look at the colorful fish and reefs. You'll also give a little back to the islands, and grow in the process, by working with local youth and restoring a beach to its natural beauty. See all the activities you can do
Optional Courses
If you're determined to challenge yourself even further, our Bravo programs offer a variety of optional courses, including American Red Cross Lifeguard Training, US Sailing/ASA Basic Keelboat Certification, marine biology seminars, Discover Scuba Diving for beginners or Recreational Diving for certified divers. Some courses have prerequisites and require a significant time commitment during the program, and some have limited enrollment. Most students find the regular daily curriculum and activities on Bravo programs offer plenty to do, but if you're looking for more, our optional courses let you shape the program experience to fit your own unique goals.

// Montreux: the pearl of the Swiss Riviera

Between the mountains and the lake, the region offers a wide choice of sporting and cultural activities, the most well-known of which, like the Montreux Jazz Festival or the Christmas market, have made this tourist spot famous for many years.
