The BVI is known around the world as true boater’s paradise. There are so many wonderful anchorages to explore and so many islands to visit; you are never out of sight of land. That’s only one of the reasons many of our guests choose to visit year after year!

Endless Summer II is a 72-foot sailing yacht and one of the most well-known and respected charter yachts in the BVI. She has been based at the same private slip in Nanny Cay Marina, on Tortola's south coast, for the last thirty years and is your perfect floating villa for a seven night visit to the BVI. Choose an itinerary will take you on a circumnavigation of the islands, stopping at many different coves and beaches along the way.

Accommodation is in four similar air conditioned staterooms each with en-suite toilet and cubicle shower. The captain has his own quarters private and separate to the guests. The large salon has comfortable seating for relaxing and reading, and the dining table can easily seat up to ten people. On deck, the covered cockpit provides a welcome escape from the sun and a place to lounge with a good book. The deck is expansive with several cushioned areas for sunbathing. The seating on the aft deck is a favorite place to gather at sunset or after dinner to watch the stars.

Renting Endless Summer II as a "captain only" yacht enables you to sail a beautiful classic yacht. It's a chance to take the helm, raise the sails and generally participate in the working of the ship. Barry, the captain, is there to advise your choice of anchorages. This is a great vacation for families, couples or groups of friends.

Cruises start and end at ESII's homebase at Nanny Cay Marina.

Why the Owner Chose Nanny Cay Marina

With their constant breeze, calm seas and amazing anchorages, the British Virgin Islands have long been considered the sailing capital of the world. The islands have everything you want or need to provide a perfect balance for the best vacation – quiet coves, lively beach bars, great snorkelling and perfect sailing. The BVI are easily reached from the US mainland, either direct to St Thomas with a ferry connection or through the gateway in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The Unique Benefits at this Yacht

Endless Summer II is like renting your own villa but on water. Every day you move to a different location – ever changing scenery, no chance to get bored. You'll get to visit exotic islands like Jost Van Dyke, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Norman Island, Peter Island and more without ever losing sight of land. It's a wonderful experience for sailors and non sailors alike.

Owner's Map of Nanny Cay Marina

We always had a sense of adventure and were lured away from England in the 1970's by the sea. We sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean in our 32' sailboat. Planning to be away for just one year, we never returned! Working as crew on charter yachts introduced us to the hospitality industry and we quickly found a second career. In the early 1980s we became crew and managers with Endless Summer Charters, looking after a fleet of four yachts belonging to US doctors. The chance to own our own charter yacht came in 1990 when we bought Endless Summer II. We pioneered the concept of 6 night sailings starting every Sunday as well as the concept of By-the-Cabin bookings. I believe that ESII remains today the only yacht that has never cancelled or switched guests to a smaller yacht due to lack of numbers. Today, ESII is a legend amongst Caribbean charter yachts and remains in tiptop condition. as captain. Come sail with ESII - we would love to share our little bit of paradise with you and introduce you to "Nature's Little Secrets" - the hidden gems of the British Virgin Islands!
