Beef Island airport – the only air gateway to BVI

You likely aren’t quite ready to travel yet, but we have our fingers crossed that we can all fly soon. If that turns out to be during winter charter season or around the BVI Spring Regatta, you might take the opportunity to what you’ve long wanted to, fly direct to Beef Island. The catch has been that there’s no non-stop way there from Canada, but if you can choose a private plane, you’re now in luck.

Standing by for departure, boaters

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) reopened its borders to international travelers on December 1, exclusive to arrivals at Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island. With safety and socially-distanced travel top of mind, the BVI Tourist Board & Film Commission (BVITB&FC) has announced a partnership with evoJets, for private jet travel. While no commercial airlines have nonstop flights to Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, flying private is now a very convenient way to get to the destination. 

In an effort to make private jet travel more readily accessible, the BVITB&FC has established a partnership with evoJets that offers $1,500 towards catering, ground, or flight cost on any portion of a trip booked from any evoJets gateway in the U.S. and Canada to the BVI, which will include some boat charter offerings.

Additionally, in its commitment to create a greener earth and help promote a more sustainable BVI, evoJets has committed matching dollars to the BVITB&FC’s Seeds of Love program, which launched in 2017 to replant trees lost in the as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which massively impacted the Territory. For each trip booked to the BVI, the private jet company will contribute an additional $1,500 to Seeds of Love, which will plant 27 indigenous White Cedar trees with each generous donation.

Spotted! Canadian Boating in Antigua & Barbuda

By Mathew Channer

I wore my Canadian Boating cap everywhere I went in Antigua, for the sun, not for the shout-outs. But I sure received a lot of them.

Antigua Sailing Week is an international regatta that draws sailors of every level and spectators from all over the world. Yet I couldn’t walk across a room without being hailed by a Canadian who was as excited to see my cap as they were to see the racing. I met many who were on their 3rd, 4th and 5th visit.
