Scrub Island

A postcard-perfect destination, Scrub Island is located approximately 74 miles east of Puerto Rico, 28 miles NE of Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas USVI, and 1.66 miles north of Trellis Bay. Formed by volcanic activity, the island is 1.6 mi long and has 230 acres. The mountainous island’s highest eastern peak reaches 438 feet, and the highest western peak reaches 313 feet.

This idyllic island is a great destination to visit on your BVI yacht charter vacation. Stay for the day, or spend the night in the accommodating Scrub Island Marina. The surrounding islands, including Scrub, are said to have been untouched until pirates and buccaneers found them. It is said that the location was originally named after these seafarers; Scrub comes from sailors stopping here so they could scrub away barnacles on their ships’ hulls.
