Tommy Gaunt and his team of professionally certified instructors are offering all Drowned Island Challenge competitors an exclusive 25% discount across their full range of watersports experiences and boat trips.

The Race Format Gives You Time to Play
Take a look at the event schedule. On Saturday, morning races wrap up by around 09:15, leaving a generous window of free time all the way through to 16:00 to prep for the 17:00 sunset paddleboard race. On Sunday, the morning disciplines are done by approximately 09:30-10:00, giving you until 17:00 before the Beach Beer Mile.
That’s hours of prime Anegada time with steady trade winds, flat turquoise water, and uncrowded beaches. Here’s how to spend them.
Kitesurfing Lessons – Ride the Trade Winds of Anegada
Anegada is widely regarded as one of the best kitesurfing destinations in the entire Caribbean. The consistent cross-shore trade winds, calm shallow water, and miles of untouched sandy beach create near-perfect conditions for both beginners and those looking to sharpen their skills.
Tommy Gaunt’s team offer everything from introductory taster sessions to more advanced coaching. Whether you’ve never touched a kite or you’re looking to nail your first jumps, they have a lesson to match your level. Kitesurfing lessons are run from the Anegada Beach Club base on the north shore. With your 25% competitor discount, there’s never been a better excuse to tick kitesurfing off the bucket list while you’re on the island.

E-Foiling — The Electric Way to Fly Above the Water
No wind? No problem. E-foiling is the ultimate watersport for those who want the thrill of flying above the water without the need for a kite or sail. Powered by a whisper-quiet electric motor, the board lifts you effortlessly above the surface at the touch of a hand controller. It’s intuitive, exhilarating, and utterly addictive.
E-foil sessions are also run from The Lobster Trap at Setting Point, where the calm, protected waters make learning to balance on the foil far less daunting than it sounds. All abilities welcome, and all Drowned Island Challenge competitors receive 25% off.
Conch Shell Mound Boat & Snorkel Trip — Anegada’s Best-Kept Secret
If you’d rather kick back and explore, Tommy Gaunt’s Conch Shell Mound boat and snorkel trip is the perfect adventure. Boats depart from The Lobster Trap at Setting Point, heading out to Anegada’s famous Horseshoe Reef – the third-largest barrier reef in the world – with stops at snorkelling locations where you’ll encounter vibrant coral gardens, rays, and extraordinary marine life.
The trip includes a stop at the iconic Conch Shell Mound, one of the most photographed spots in the BVI, plus a chance to look out for Anegada’s famous flamingo flock along the way. The boat comes stocked with a cooler of drinks to keep you refreshed in true Caribbean style.
Trip duration: 2.5 to 3 hours. Priced from $450 for up to 4 people ($85 per additional person, max 6) before the 25% competitor discount.
