Bitter End Yacht Club

The Bitter End Yacht Club is one of the most storied names in Caribbean sailing — a barefoot-luxe resort wrapped around the calm, reef-protected waters of Virgin Gorda’s North Sound. Rebuilt after Hurricane Irma, it has reopened as a beach club, marina and village of boardwalk-linked bars, shops and watersports, and it remains the social heart of the sound.

It sits just a short dinghy ride from the North Sound mooring field, which makes it a natural stop — or a whole lazy afternoon — on any charter itinerary up here.
