Bitter End Yacht Club
Nestled on the protected North Sound of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, Bitter End Yacht Club is a world-renowned seaside resort and water sports paradise, lovingly established since 1969. It is reachable only by boat, giving it an exclusive, island‑outpost feel treasured by sailors, adventurers, and families alike.
Despite being devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, the resort has risen from the ashes with a thoughtfully rebuilt marina, over‑water bungalows, and refreshed amenities. Celebrated for its vibrant community spirit, Bitter End Yacht Club blends its storied past with modern enhancements like a marina lounge, Clubhouse dining, and Water Sports Centre.
Bitter End Yacht Club
Bitter End Yacht Club offers charming, shoreside accommodations tailored to a relaxed yet refined island experience. Tucked along the tranquil shores of Pelican Beach, the Beach Bungalows provide a secluded escape with stunning 180-degree views of the glittering North Sound. Inspired by Bitter End’s original 1970s cottages, these eco-friendly timber retreats blend indoor comfort with open-air living.
For something truly special, choose the iconic cantilevered overwater bungalows perch serenely above the North Sound, each two-storied with its own deck and direct access to the waters below.
Across all room types, you’ll find thoughtful touches and crisp linens, vintage Caribbean style décor, and an easy‑going ambience that captures the laid back spirit of the British Virgin Islands.
The Marina House is a spacious four bedroom dwelling overlooking the resort’s anchorage, enjoying dramatic North Sound views and natural trade wind breezes.
Cuisine at Bitter End Yacht Club is mainly focussed on a ‘Sea to Table’ philosophy where the restaurants aim to serve the freshest fish caught locally, high quality meats and as much locally produced fruit and vegetables as possible.
The Clubhouse is a laid back, open‑air spot serving hearty Caribbean‑inspired fare. You must sample Winstons famous Key Lime Pie too!
Offering casual lunches, dinners and snacks, The Buoy Room is the place to head for pizza, grilled fish tacos and farm-to-fork salads. Perfect for gathering after a day on the water, or simply for an afternoon painkiller (the BVI’s signature cocktail!).
Resurrected from the North Sound seabed after Hurricane Irma, the Reef Sampler beach bar is pure Bitter End: an iconic vessel that’s been part of the club’s legacy since its earliest days. Savour your favourite Caribbean rum or sample a handcrafted cocktail.
Over the decades, Bitter End Yacht Club has earned its reputation as a top-tier destination for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, kiteboarding, snorkelling, standup paddle boarding, and more – a water baby’s dream!
With a world-class fleet of over 100 boats, you can dive into daily sailing lessons or just cruise the North and Eustatia Sounds. Friendly staff are available to instruct on every vessel and on every level whether you are a beginner or a little more advanced.
Kids are well catered for here, as long as they can swim, they will be happy learning new skills to tell their friends about on their return home! As well as all the water based activities, children can enjoy land based games from cornhole, volleyball, and beach Jenga to hermit crab races and hammock fun.
