It's "Show Time" for Yacht Brokers & Crewed Charter Yachts in the Virgin Islands
Over 150 charter brokers from the Caribbean, the U.S., and Europe are expected to attend this ‘don’t miss’ show. We cannot wait to see everyone in person again in both the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It all takes place in the Sailing Capital of the World!
The show is important, and especially for brokers that weren’t able to attend in person due to closures in the BVI last year. With more USVI-only charters, there has been a turnaround from foreign to more US crews. The show at Yacht Haven Grande, USVI, and Nanny Cay Marina, BVI offers us a chance to meet the new crews in person as well as strengthen relationships with veteran crews. The chefs are essential to a charter yacht vacation. As a former crew, we know that many clients find the location, as well as the cuisine, served on board far beyond their quality expectations. In addition to allowing us time to connect with the crews, we are also able to highlight the aspects of each yacht that will make the guests experience everything they were expecting from their cruise through the beautiful blue waters of the Virgin Islands.
Here is a snapshot of just a few of the yachts we will be viewing:

With the marine borders closed between the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands, tourists have been forced to choose which territory to visit. We've seen an uptick in new bookings in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2021 due to easier travel protocols for entering the USVI vs the BVI. For the traveler, that's dying to go somewhere easy to access in the Caribbean, they quickly discover that the USVI offers beautiful water, beaches, and tons of water sports activities! Every traveler aged five or older who enters the U.S. Virgin Islands, by air or sea, including anyone in transit to another destination, is required to use the USVI Travel Screening Portal at www.usvitravelportal.com and submit an acceptable COVID-19 test result prior to travel.
The British Virgin Islands has recently relaxed its rules a bit for vaccinated travelers and that makes it more appealing to its longtime visitors who love this territory.
One only has to look out the window or the porthole in the Virgin Islands to see that there are a lot more tourists and private yacht charters than ever before. People are taking advantage of these "floating luxury hotels of all prices" and they are enjoying a protected bubble of safe travel. Covid may have changed the times but it hasn't changed our enduring love of travel!
