The Catamaran Company office in Hodges Creek proved hurricane proof surviving the eye of Irma and is intact and standing! They will be operating from the first floor that needs some cosmetic fixes but on October 5th the office became fully operational. There was more good news in that they reported that their workshop had no damage and all our parts and equipment is working and available. On October 8th a new 2018 Lagoon 450 arrived today at their Charter Base in Tortola, BVI. Alongside her is Lagoon 39, French Maid also available for charter and Isabella Belen, Lagoon 450.

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.
