Peter Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands has Reopened

Peter Island Resort

Feb 22, 2024

Peter Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands has opened its rebuilt and re-envisioned luxury private island in 2024 after the property closures from the Virgin Islands’ 2017 hurricane season. Peter Island Resort has been undergoing its transformation for over six years. Its evolution includes brand new and upgraded accommodations and new state-of-the-art facilities and five stellar beaches amid  hundreds of acres of unspoiled tropical island.

Peter Island Yacht Club

The new Yacht Club will be a must on the itineraries of sailors, boaters and yachtsmen with a marina that can accommodate a range of vessels from power boats, sailboats and catamarans, to super yachts of up to 200 feet. Located in Sprat Bay harbor, the Yacht Club will be its own destination with a dedicated swimming pool for Yacht Club guests, Drunken Pelican restaurant and bar, a commissary, Sea Chest Boutique and a sports recreation area with pickleball, basketball and bocce ball courts and a lawn-games area. To protect the coral reef and marine life surrounding the island, moorings will be located in White Bay, Sprat Bay, Deadman’s Bay,

Key Bay and Little Harbour for seafaring guests to enjoy.

Restaurants and Bars

Two new casually chic and sophisticated restaurants will delight guests with friendly, top-notch service and delicious cuisine. The Drake Steakhouse, located on Deadman’s Beach, will offer a fine selection of surf & turf dishes with a Caribbean twist, while the Yacht Club’s Drunken Pelican will serve more casual fare.

New Beachfront Accommodations and Restored Luxury Villas

When Peter Island Resort makes its debut, guests will find that it is still charmingly intimate with just 52 room, suite and villa accommodations. What’s new and improved is having all rooms, junior suites and two-bedroom villas on coveted beachfront just steps from the sea along the palm tree-lined stretch of Deadman’s Beach.

The Spa at Peter Island

The much-loved Peter Island Spa is being upgraded and redesigned in the same stunning location overlooking Big Reef Bay and the beach’s palm tree grove. The Spa will house seven treatment rooms including two couples treatment rooms, welcome and relaxation lounges, fitness center, spa boutique, beauty salon, and men’s and women’s changing rooms.

Southern Comfort

I awake from a deep sleep with a warm breeze blowing softly through the hatch and Annie’s Toy, a Lagoon 380, rocking gently at anchor. Brilliant stars provide the only light in the pitch-black cabin. Aside from the water softly rippling against the hull, not a sound is heard. It’s our first night of a seven-day charter in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and we share our secluded anchorage with just two other boats. My hometown seems a planet away and I fall asleep eagerly wondering what adventures tomorrow will bring….read more

Tempt Your Taste Buds in St. Maarten

Tempt Your Taste Buds in St. Maarten

St. Maarten is one of the tiniest islands in the Caribbean; for its 37-square mile size, it packs a huge punch in tourism, with duty-free shopping, 37 beaches and 325 restaurants. With so many places to eat, you can find a wide range of cooking styles and ethnic food, including French, Italian, American, Mexican, Indian, Indonesian, Japanese and Chinese.

Chartering a Boat in the Islands – It’s Easier Than You Think

Chartering a Boat in the Islands – It’s Easier Than You Think

Glancing down into the water as I prepared to furl in the genoa for the approach to the Tobago Cays, a group of five uninhabited Caribbean islands in the Grenadines, I was struck by the incredible colour of the water – a sparkling sapphire blue that slid into astonishing hues of turquoise and aquamarine as the water grew more shallow near the entrance to the Cays. We could have been floating on a swimming pool.

The pristine water over the white sand bottom reflects the sky here and the clarity is so amazing that nearby reefs pop out visibly in hues of greens, reds, oranges and gold. With the sun high over your shoulder, the reefs are easy to spot and steer clear of. Fish fly in diamond-like showers and turtles raise their heads in a relaxed fashion as you cruise by. No worries. Be happy.

The BVI’s – Parking in Paradise

We’ve bridled our bowline to a mooring ball in Trellis Bay just off Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.

My friend, Dave Anschuetz, fires up the Force 10 on the pushpit of our chartered Moorings boat, a Beneteau 43.3 named “Teranga.” Down below, my wife tosses a salad while Dave’s wife, Barb, marinates chicken. 

Topside, I survey our surroundings while I concoct my own take on the iconic (and insidious) Painkillers we were drinking like water two nights ago on Jost Van Dyke.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
