Dick Schoonover of CharterPort BVI reports that they are up and running and booking charters now. CharterPort BVI is a central agent for professionally crewed charter yachts in the British Virgin Islands. Dick added, “Some of our fleet members have charters going our the day after the 2017 charter yacht show ends on November 11th”. According to Dick, their Nanny Cay office, below Peg Leg’s was destroyed, but their Road Town office at Village Cay is up and running again.

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.
