Voyage Charters posted the following update on Facebook. They reported, “It has been three months since Irma impacted the BVI. Besides being a time of immense adjustment and change, we find ourselves even more determined to highlight in three words the reason we all love the BVI, “A Caribbean Paradise”. for both those living here and for those who want to explore it’s beauty and enjoy the unsurpassable charter waters and pristine beaches.” Voyage Charters added, “There has been huge progress in rescuing and salvaging much of the Voyage fleet and repairs have started on some of the boats remaining in charter. Yes, we are gearing up for the 2018 charter season and looking forward to it! We know it is going to take some time but we are ready, especially for new opportunities!” Due to the severity of the damage experienced at their charter base location at Soper’s Hole, they have moved our operations to the West End Boat Yard, which is under their own management.

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.
