I just got a message from Greg Aberle who is the owner of Dolphin Water Taxi in St Thomas and in the BVI. They are have bases both in Red Hook and in Road Town. Greg reported the following: “While two of our seven boats sank the remaining five are providing regular service on demand as always and moving tourist from the St. Thomas airport to any BVI destination. This is especially helpful information to disseminate considering the irregular operations of the ferry system at this point. Just thought your readers would like to know there is a reliable safe alternative to get from st. Thomas to anywhere in the BVI.”

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
