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.

Grenada

Come winter – when I can’t sleep at night and February grabs me by the throat – I conjure up a view of the falls. But my falls is no mere Niagara. This is Concord, a cascade coursing down the side of a mountain in Grenada. A nation of three islands less than three hundred kilometres from the coast of South America, Grenada is crown jewel of the Windward Islands.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
