Home of the West End Yacht Club
For several years, the home of the WEYC was Nanny Cay, until the early 1990’s, when the Club more appropriately moved its base to the Jolly Roger, owned by Bo and Libba Chase. It was not long before Lou Schwartz bought the Jolly Roger and continued the tradition of serving as the official home of the Club. Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017 sadly remodeled the Jolly Roger, leaving it as a derelict shell on the port side of the entrance to Soper’s Hole. Fortunately, the Club was able to find new host for its shoreside activities, most welcomingly offered by Omar of Omar’s Fusion, with its excellent food and convenient placement on the starboard side of the entrance. And this is where the WEYC has its home to this day.

The sea beckons. Adventure calls. Bitter End is back.
For over half a century, Bitter End Yacht Club has been world-renowned for its sense of adventure, love of the water, appreciation for nature, and dedication to friends and family.
Our island outpost was destroyed by Hurricane Irma in 2017, but no storm could extinguish the Bitter End spirit. Supported by a tight-knit community spread across the globe, we salvaged everything we could to build back Bitter End better than ever. We are excited to share our newly imagined nautical village with you.
We’ve got several exceptional drinking and dining venues that still harness the same spirit expected of the North Sound’s oldest watering hole. Enjoy hyper-local Caribbean flavors in the heart of our village while overlooking the best views in the BVI.
All of our wares are custom-made by us (and a selection of top-notch pals) to be enjoyed by anyone who carries a love for the sea in their veins. We hope you reach for our provisions whenever you’re ashore or at sea anywhere in the world.
Bitter End would not be Bitter End without watersports. At Bitter End, you can master diving, sailing, windsurfing, or kiteboarding with help from the Bitter End Crew. Or just take a Whaler out for snorkeling and beach combing.
SLEEP OVER THE WATER
You can’t get closer to the sea than when sleeping in our new Marina Lofts. Inspired by vintage sail lofts, you can step off your swim ladder right into the Caribbean Sea. Experience the BVI’s only over-the-water bungalows—a magical maritime escape.
