Your vacation in the BVI is exactly that, -YOUR VACATION-

The Paradiso is Your Boat, Your Crew and Your Home.

We do what you want to do every day.

The following is just a sample of what is possible during your vacation here in the islands. Your Captain will help you design a cruise tailor made to your specific desires. If it is hiking, shopping, eating, drinking, snorkeling, diving, partying, swimming, skurfing (yup, its a real word and I heartily advise you to try it at least once in your life, it won't be the last), beach time, deck time, sleep time, whatever you like, it is yours for the taking.
