Southwest coming to STT early 2026
tpcook
Yesterday at 02:52 PM
Now is the time for an innovative person from the BVI to bring passengers directly from the southwest gate to a ferry, which would facilitate customs clearance on the ferry.

late July/August questions...
BEERMAN
Yesterday at 12:14 AM
I am very happy the family decided to return to the BVI waters! But our timing at the end of season and with a 7 year absence has me doing a lot of research!!. We have chartered in July before and have worked around some closures, those didn't deter us from having an amazing time! I have found the following closings on websites...
- Cooper Island - last day of service is Sunday, August 4. - BEYC - closes August 1. - Pirates (Bight) says open through July, sent email to find accurate date. - Leverick - Upstairs dining is closed - Foxy's Taboo - closes Aug 1. - Coco Maya - closed on Sun/Mon
Do you know of any establishments closing late July early August not listed? Any and all locations, we plan to spend to spend time around Jost and CGB near the end of the trip in August. Can you recommend any new stops especially since 2017? Restaurants? new grocery? anything of interest that a charter might find helpful?
Depending on weather, and racing the closures, we adjusted our preliminary itinerary to include The Bight, Cooper and Bitter End by the end of July.
Thank you for your help!

The West End Yacht Club
Westedndyachtclub
07/13/2025 01:00 PM
Hi everyone,
I’m Steve Varrow, recently appointed Commodore of the West End Yacht Club here in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. As many of you may know, our club has a long-standing tradition of organizing fun, friendly, and inclusive sailing events—bringing together locals, cruisers, and visiting yachts from around the world.
The West End Yacht Club (WEYC) is not your typical stuffy yacht club. We’re a laid-back, community-driven group with a passion for sailing, camaraderie, and giving back. Our regattas—like the Firecracker Regatta, Foxy’s Wooden Boat Regatta, and the Dark & Stormy—are legendary in the Caribbean and support youth sailing and local charities throughout the year.
If you’re planning a visit, are anchored nearby, or simply want to stay in the loop, I invite you to register on our website for updates about upcoming races, social gatherings, and charity events: 👉 www.westendyachtclubbvi.com
Whether you’re a seasoned skipper or new to the sailing scene, we’d love to have you join the fun. Everyone’s welcome—no jacket and tie required!
Fair winds, Steve Varrow Commodore – West End Yacht Club westendyachtclub@gmail.com

Speedy’s private transfer EIS to Spanishtown
Cleobeach
07/12/2025 07:14 PM
For an upcoming trip, we are considering booking Speedy’s private water taxi/transfer from the airport to Spanishtown. Anyone have experience with this?
Pre-2017, we always used Dohm’s back and forth between STT and STJ and liked the ease of the service.

Fuel options?
BEERMAN
07/12/2025 12:09 PM
Does anyone have a photo of Fort Burt marina's fuel dock? and any idea what time they open?
Our return day is going to be fairly tight, we will return to TMM promptly when they open. I have exchanged emails with TMM regarding this and they scheduled our taxi for 9am. Unfortunately, crew work schedules didn't allow for a final night in a hotel.
Our itinerary is slowly coming together, last night we decided to remove STJ since we were there a couple years ago. With that out of the way I can give the crew many more BVI options!
I saw Brent (Captains Compass) posted some diesel options in March, thanks for including phone numbers! On that list Leverick was down? Is N. Latitude on Jost open? I see Scrub is now an option!
Thanks .

Canadian flight sale - end July 11
CrazyCanuxx
07/12/2025 12:15 AM
Hello fellow Canadians,
If you are on the fence, there's a good seat sale including pre-xmas weeks ending tonight on Westjet. Be sure to grab your WJ 20% discount code. I found a flight from BC to SXM in the $400 range which is as good as it gets for Dec.
Westjet also added Panama and a few latin american flights (most/all were routes from the before days).
AC has a discount code ending tonight as well... but I never find deals on AC.
Good luck.

Shout out to TMM and Sail Absolutely
BLAFLA
07/11/2025 06:17 PM
I would like to send a phenomenal shout out to TMM's Sail Absolutely. Their Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 catamaran was the perfect vessel to sail the beautiful crystal blue waters of the BVI. She was comfortably stable, wide, fully equipped, and large enough to accommodate 10-12 passengers. Thanks to TMM provided wifi, I was able to keep in touch with my friends and family, sharing my pictures and videos instantly, while also keeping the urgent matters at home up to date. I will remember this vacation forever. I highly recommend chartering "Absolutely" and her dinghy "Positively" when your need for vitamin SEA becomes overwhelming.

Booked my return from SXM today
SXMScubaman
07/11/2025 05:00 PM
Was able to book our return on Miles with AA for a Saturday departure at 12:15 pm to CLT-SEA getting home around 8:40 pm same day if all goes well. We usually come home on a Friday with miles but miles were the same for FC on Saturday and that earlier CLT flight wasn't listed for a Friday which would have us arriving around 11:00 pm.
