Organization Description
Founded in 1973 as a family retreat, Bitter End Yacht Club is world-renowned for its sense of adventure, love of the water, appreciation for nature, and dedication to friends and family. Named for its iconic location at the British Virgin Islands’ “end of the line;” Bitter End is the final island outpost before the Caribbean Sea meets the open Atlantic Ocean. Hailed by the New York Times as a “rollicking nautical village,” Bitter End is known as a water enthusiast’s paradise due to its protected harbor and steady trade winds. It is home to world-famous regattas, a first-class marina, and Club Fleet. Bitter End is a highly sought-after destination for sailing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, scuba diving, snorkeling, and more. When not on the water, visitors enjoy over a mile of private beaches, five dining and drinking establishments, including the oldest bar in the BVI, a gourmet provisions market, and a fashion boutique featuring Bitter End’s line of apparel and accessories for watersports enthusiasts, Bitter End Provisions. This unrivaled combination of natural exclusivity, exceptional conditions, and extraordinary experiences is why Bitter End Yacht Club is consistently hailed as one of the top resorts and yachting destinations in the world. Laid low in 2017's Hurricane Irma, the resort rebounded with a historic reopening in December 2021 to rave reviews. Development continues at the iconic outpost’s 64 acres, including a 20-room boutique hotel, pool, spa, and an array of activity programs and hospitality amenities to complement the Bitter End experience.
