As yacht charter brokers, we can attend two exclusive boat shows in the Virgin Islands every fall. These are the VICL Yacht Show in St. Thomas and the CYS Boat Show in Tortola. The BVI yacht charter shows allow us to tour and inspect the boats and meet and get to know the crews. We also get to do a little sightseeing to offer suggestions to you regarding your own BVI yacht charter experience.
Each day of the show, we tour the various boats and spend time with the crews as they show us around their vessels. Often, we are invited to brokers’ luncheons aboard the boats to sample the yacht cuisine available to our clients.
Evenings feature events that allow us to connect with the crews in a casual setting. These events are often very insightful as we glimpse how the crew might interact with each other and guests when on charter. Some of these events also include local vendors on whom the crews might depend for provisioning, among other things.
At each show, there is also a culinary competition among participating chefs. The chefs always put their best foot forward for these, as they would for you as their charter guests. The announcement of the winners is always exciting and is usually held on the last evening of the show.
After the show, brokers often invite us for a day sail on their boat if they’re heading to the same destination. This is our chance to experience a day of chartering with the boat and crew.
Since these shows are exclusive to charter brokers and not open to the public, we would like to attend as your representatives. So this year, we want to hear from you about what information you’d like to know more about as we’re at the shows! Connect with us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/bvisail and post the questions you want us to answer. We’ll do our best to get the answers you seek and post them as often as possible.
Chef Nicky on King’s Ransom, a Matrix 76, prepared the delightful plant-based cuisine.
