Digicel across the islands
Your eSIM connects to Digicel on 4G. Road Town and Tortola generally are well covered, as is Virgin Gorda around Spanish Town and The Valley, plus Jost Van Dyke's Great Harbour and White Bay.
The smaller cays — Norman, Peter, Cooper, Anegada's remoter stretches — have variable coverage depending on how close you are to the larger islands.
Chartering, and the coverage that matters
The BVI is arguably the best place in the world to learn to sail, largely because the islands sit close together in protected water with short, forgiving passages. That geography also means you're rarely far from a covered island.
Anchorages at Cane Garden Bay, The Bight, Great Harbour and Spanish Town generally hold signal. Anegada, low-lying and 20km north of the rest, is the outlier — coverage there is thinner and the passage across is the longest you'll do.
How much data
1 GB at £9.99 covers a charter week for most crews, given you'll be sailing and swimming for much of it. Charter bases have Wi-Fi and most of the beach bars do too.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Will I have signal at the anchorages?+
At the popular ones — Cane Garden Bay, The Bight, Great Harbour, Spanish Town — generally yes. The islands sit close together, so you're rarely far from coverage. Anegada is the exception.
Does it cover the US Virgin Islands too?+
No. The USVI are separate territory with separate networks. If your itinerary crosses to St Thomas or St John, this plan won't cover you there.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
