Why is it called Dead Chest Island? What really happened on Norman Island? Who was Jost Van Dyke, and why is half the archipelago named after him?
A self-guided tour on your phone, built specifically for people discovering these stories by boat, not by tour bus: bareboat, crewed, sailing or power. Every anchorage in the BVI is hiding a story — a wreck, a smuggler, a legend nobody's quite sure is true.
Download before you leave home, then pick each anchorage as you arrive, in whatever order your charter takes you — narrated in audio by our friendly pirate guide, or read at your own pace in text. It runs fully offline, however far you are from a signal.
Along the way: a 50-question BVI quiz to settle who actually knows their history, and a digital treasure hunt played out across the islands. Snap photo and video challenges as you go, and at the end everyone receives their own digital album of the trip.
One booking covers your whole crew, each on their own phone.
