Just got a report from Laura at Conch Charters as follows: “The Conch Charters office, based in Road Town, has been open for a few weeks. Although there is still no phone line, we are answering emails! We are busy fixing up our base and getting boats ready for charter again in January.” They said that each day they are one step closer to opening their doors again and one step closer to being able to cast you off to set sail around our beautiful islands. “All our efforts and resources are being directed to our rebuild and we will continue to give you progress reports and look forward to booking your next charter’, they added.

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.
