Founded in 1969, Bitter End Yacht Club is a third generation family-owned island outpost known for its historical charm. Accessible only by sea, Bitter End has attracted travelers and yachting enthusiasts from around the globe for nearly 50 years. Located on the protected waters of North Sound on the perennially top ranked Caribbean island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, the quintessential destination is a sailing and watersports mecca, thanks to its near perfect year-round sailing conditions, eternal sunshine and crystal-blue waters. Known for its casual, communal atmosphere and robust activity programs, Bitter End is a favorite destination for couples, families and groups, many of whom return year-after-year. Laid low in 2017’s Hurricane Irma, the iconic resort returned in 2021 for an epic reopening.
