Dream Yacht Charters provided the following update on their website. They reported, “What can be said about what the British Virgin Islands went through last year? It was heartbreaking to see one of the world’s most popular sailing destinations facing down one of the worst hurricane seasons on record in terms of damage. It’s been tough for the community and, boy, have they been working hard. Their efforts are amazing and in just a few months, so much has been restored, rebuilt and reopened. That #BVIstrong spirit is in abundance and the islands’ entrepreneurs and staff are doing everything they can to get back to normal. Since November, our customers have been returning to the BVIs and we’ve had so much positive feedback about their charters. All that is needed is you and your support. So make your 2018 vacation a BVI one and take a look at our bareboat fleet and all-inclusive by the cabin charters!”
Dan Lockyer, General Manager , Dream Yacht Charter North America also added that, “Since the the hurricanes, we’ve worked to mitigate the impact on our customers by purchasing 20 new replacement boats for the St. Martin and BVI fleets that were delivered at the end of 2017. They include Lagoon 52s, Bali 4.5 catamarans, Dufour 520 and Sun Odyssey 519 monohulls, just in time for the upcoming tourist season.”
Dream Yacht Charters has a large fleet of catamarans and monohulls in the BVI to suit any sailor, whether you’re looking for a bareboat, by-the-cabin or crewed yacht charter. Their BVI base in Tortola has its own docks and you’ll be greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable team.

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.
