Bitter End began as a family retreat and that tradition continues today. Designed specifically for families, the Admiral's Family Vacation Packages include the activities and amenities that appeal to both kids and adults and make the resort one of the best family vacation destinations in the world. And, during special weeks of the year, we offer expanded programs for both kids and adults!
With activities that appeal to all ages and experience levels, and plenty of opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate throughout the week, the Admiral's Family Package makes a Caribbean family fun vacation easy to plan!
While you spend a few hours visiting the spa, relaxing by the pool or picking up the basics of sailing in our Introduction to Sailing Course, your children can take part in our Junior Watersports Program or Kids Camp, learning to sail, snorkel or windsurf, or learn sand painting, join in on guided walks, or take part in storytelling, scavenger hunts and snorkeling trips.
In the evening, they can enjoy age-appropriate movies shown in the Sand Palace, our outdoor movie theater (the only one in the Virgin Islands!), while you enjoy dinner. Together, you can take a picnic lunch and explore the many small islands bordering North Sound. The possibilities are endless!
Admiral's Virgin Island Cruise Package aboard Jet Stream
To add another dimension to your luxury family vacation, Bitter End has brought back a favorite vacation experience from the past-the Virgin Island Cruise Package!

Family Fun Weeks at Bitter End
Our busiest family weeks at Bitter End (Spring Break weeks, Easter week, Thanksgiving and Holiday weeks) allow for kids to make new friends and families to meet and have fun together. Kids' program activities are expanded so that everyone is able to participate, and the kids can choose from a menu of activities that offer opportunities to learn to sail and have fun on the water, Caribbean-style, while still allowing for family vacation time as well, whether that's on a daylong excursion, or taking off for the day on your own Boston whaler adventure, picnic lunch in tow.
The Kids Camp Coordinator and Bitter End staff offer expert instruction on the finer points of boat and dinghy sailing, windsurfing, and the safe handling of boats. Each week's schedule includes instruction for the kids, fun activities such as kayak trips and scavenger hunts, family regattas and Beach Olympics for the whole family. All of these activities are included in the Admiral's Package pricing.
Thanksgiving Hobie Wave Family Fun Week
November 17-24, 2012
Bitter End’s Hobie catamarans are a favorite among guests. They are easy for new sailors to use, yet the Getaways are a great performance boat for experienced sailors, and no matter your skill level, they are a lot of fun. A whole family can pack a picnic lunch and some towels and take off on one for the day, sailing North Sound and exploring deserted beaches and the world underwater.
Bitter End is one of Hobie’s favorite places, and for the sixth year in a row, Hobie Cat president Doug Skidmore is inviting families to join him at the resort for a week of sailing tips from those in the know (Doug himself as well as his team of experts, including Dan Mangus, Hobie Cat’s marketing director, and also the chair for most of Hobie’s regattas and clinics) and a series of fun races that show off Bitter End’s fleet of Hobie Waves and Getaways.
On top of all these Hobie Family Fun Week activities, Bitter End will have its usual Thanksgiving Week festivities, with the Thanksgiving Day Regatta followed by our annual Caribbean-spiked traditional Thanksgiving Day feast.
Join us!
And bring along the younger kids too -- kids five and under can stay free this week at Bitter End!
