\n Virgin Islands charter bases reopened on December 9th.<\/span>\n The Moorings<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n

The Moorings and Sunsail, two of the most trusted names in\nyacht chartering, are pleased to announce the grand reopening of their British Virgin Islands charter base\non December 9th, 2017, just three months after the Caribbean\u2019s record-breaking hurricane activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Over the past few months, BVI staff members exhibited tremendous strength and dedication, working\ntirelessly to help restore operations in Road Town, Tortola, and they are eager to invite visitors back to\nthis world-famous sailing destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Moorings and Sunsail are also glad to report a combined fleet of more than 100 yachts ready for\nchartering. Additionally, an investment of $66.5 million will bring new fleet shipments for both brands\nwith over 130 boats scheduled to arrive in the British Virgin Islands in early 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

According to Josie Tucci, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, \u201cThe road to recovery has not been\neasy, but we simply couldn\u2019t be more thrilled about reopening our base in the British Virgin Islands, and\nin such a timely manner. Tucci goes on to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe humanitarian response from customers, partners, and employees following September\u2019s\nhurricanes was overwhelming, and the tenacity of the local communities has been nothing\nshort of inspiring. We believe it is this heartfelt combination of commitment and resilience\nthat has helped us come back so strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

To continue supporting the future of the tourism industry and to assist with long-term hurricane relief\nefforts, The Moorings and Sunsail recently joined forces to establish the Caribbean Comeback\nfundraiser. Created in the spirit of uniting sailors everywhere, 100% of all monetary contributions go\ntoward the British Virgin Islands, St. Martin and Puerto Rico employees, delivering supplies that are\nneeded such as generators, gas stoves, and miscellaneous building materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
