MarineMax Vacations in the British Virgin Islands provided the following update. “MarineMax has prepared our fleet and restored base operations in the BVI in order to resume charter deliveries in December. We are proud of having achieved our goal of being operational for the winter season and want to welcome tourists back to the islands.” As part of their efforts in supporting the recovery of the British Virgin Islands, MarineMax Vacations is donating 10% of all new charter booking fees to the BVI Relief effort. This donation offer is available for new charter vacation reservations for travel between December 1, 2017 and March 1, 2018 aboard their charter fleet in the British Virgin Islands. Funds raised through this effort will go towards rebuilding the territory and assisting the island residents and business owners in the restoration of their homes and livelihoods.

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.
