Barecat Charters

Moving forward:
Still pretty tough around here, but there are a lot of tough people who have stayed here to try and rebuild, not only our Islands, but our lives and our futures. I am one of them. I have decided to try and find one single catamaran of good size (Approximately 50ft) and fit for captained/crewed charters. Being able to focus on one boat, just our guests, and the experience that is the BVI post Irma is what I want to do moving forward. I see BVI right now being similar to the way it was 30 years ago. You are one of a few boats in any given anchorage. The natural beauty of this place is on display everywhere. The waters are pristine. You have most meals on board because there aren't many options otherwise. You take a bottle of wine over to that one other boat to go make new friends. What beach bars there are come in the package of a cooler buried in the sand, a few hammocks, and a colorful bartender to add flavor to your day. I know many of you want to come down and support BVI with tourist dollars, and I intend to make that available for you. If you're interested, please let me know. Plans are fluid
right now, but this is an idea I'm pretty excited about. Stay tuned to find out what we have in store.

Despite my objection to taking handouts, several people have asked me to start a funding effort. I have acquiesced.

Quiz time folks.

Each semester, Virgin Islands History students as part of their assessment process are required to fill in this blank map of the BVI. Could you do it and which main island is missing?

Lots of firsts for our young intern this summer.
