When each bay is busiest.

Saturday is the quiet night
Saturday is charter changeover day, so it is the lightest night in most bays. It is a good night for the popular stops.
Thursday is the big night on Jost
Little Harbour, Diamond Cay and B-Line fill up on Thursday, and they are quietest from Saturday to Tuesday. Great Harbour stays busy all week.
March is peak season
January through April is the busy season, and March is the busiest month. From May on, there is more room in every bay.
When to book. Reservations open at 7:00 AM BVI time for that night. Bays marked Book at 7 AM fill earliest in the day; More flexible bays usually have room later on. Bays marked Typical every night, such as Cooper Island and Great Harbour, are busy all week.
Events change the picture. A full moon party, regatta or flotilla can fill a bay on any night — check the events calendar before you settle your route.
Based on BoatyBall reservations, January to August 2026. Patterns can shift with weather and events.
