Seamester is the educational adventure of a lifetime! For more than 40 years, we have offered unparalleled educational voyages where students spend a semester at sea sailing between islands, countries, and even continents. We design our programs to provide engaging learning experiences with real outcomes in ways that are impossible to replicate in the traditional classroom. Living as part of a close-knit team on an ocean-going vessel, our students learn fundamental lessons beyond academics: teamwork, leadership, and personal responsibility. They receive academic credit from the University of South Florida, along with PADI scuba certifications and IYT sailing certifications. Our programs are designed to inspire students to realize that it’s the journey, not the destination, that matters the most.

A Guide to Adventure Travel in the British Virgin Islands
Locations
The British Virgin Islands are a cluster of over 50 islands dotting the Caribbean Sea, but only 15 are inhabited. With the general policy of “no shoes, no problem,” the islands are truly a relaxed haven to enjoy nature as it was intended: unspoiled and teeming with life. Most of the islands are remnants from hundreds of years of volcanic action (not everything here is virgin, if you catch my drift), which makes them hard to settle. Even in recent times there’s been a concentrated effort to keep resorts and chain hotels out, meaning nature is very much in.
The largest and most populated island, Tortola, is home to the capital, Road Town — the perfect jumping off point for adventures in BVI. Apart from being the central port of ferries to the surrounding islands, it is also the islands’ commercial and historic center. On the west of the island, you can visit the secluded Smuggler’s Cove, an area so pristine it was used in the 1990 Hollywood remake of The Old Man and the Sea.
If you want to get a bit more active while traveling in the British Virgin Islands, head over to Virgin Gorda, named by Christopher Columbus himself due to its likeness of… you guessed it…a fat woman. It has some of the best windsurfing and kiteboarding in the area, and is home to one of the most popular spectacles of the islands: a group of 40-foot granite boulders known as the Baths. Squeeze your way through this awesome geological display and explore its seemingly infinite tidal pools, tunnels, arches, and grottoes.
