About the Author
Nancy and Simon Scott are well qualified to write a guide book on the Virgin Islands, as they met while cruising in these fabulous islands in 1974. Managing a major bareboat charter company for the next eight years in the Virgins enabled them to see things through the eyes of both the cruising yachtsman and the charterer. Now living in Florida, Simon continues his work in the marine field, while Nancy manages the offices of Cruising Guide Publications. Several trips a year, sailing with their two daughters, keeps the Scotts informed and involved in the happenings above and below the sparkling blue waters of the Virgin Islands.

Customer Reviews

A Great Buy!
My boyfriends parents are going to be travelling to the Virgin Islands next spring, so for father's day, we bought his dad this travel guide. The book is packed full of information! They said they were glad that they got this book ahead of time because it will be great to use as a reference for their trip!

The BVI Bible - don't leave home without it
The Scott's Guides are the definitive authority on sailing in the Caribbean or anywhere a charter boat sailor may wish to go. Seriously, don't attempt a sailing vacation without consulting the Cruising Guides. CGVI is up to date information on every anchorage in the Virgin Islands.

Hidden Treasures
My wife and I sailed the BVI just last month and this little tome opened to us some very fine places to stay and some interesting sites to see. Whatsmore, it offered detailed instructions on how to enter ports-of-call and where to anchor or moor. Very valuable to those who don't know all the coves and inlets.
We were only a little surprised to see that at least one charter company places this booklet in all their fleet, it being the most authoritative book on the subject.
We also appreciated how easy to read and how well the book was laid out. I'd buy from this author again.
