Bitter End Yacht Club Managing Owners Richard Hokin and his daughter Lauren reported recently that BEYC is still targeting a debut of its first phase by the end of 2020. According to the owners, they had to pause their redevelopment activity for several weeks due to COVID-19 shutdown, but the rebuilding project is well underway again and the resorts 64 acres and mile of shoreline are buzzing with activity.
The first phase of Bitter End 2.0, as the Hokins call it, will debut all new world-class marina facilities to include a two-story, open-air marina complex featuring an all-new lounge with expansive views of the North Sound and setting sun, enhanced amenities such as marina-wide WIFI, upgraded bathing facilities and hospitality offerings that will make even the most sea-worn sailor feel right at home.
That will be followed by a new Clubhouse, a new Club Fleet, a new boutique and a new general store, followed by plans for a return of the resort itself.
This is welcome news for all those who know and love BEYC!

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.
