[Public-List] Chartering in the BVI

[Brian Zinser]

I just got home from an offshore on a Ted Brewer 44 from Georgetown, 
Exumas to Tortola. We made night landfall at Great Harbor on Jost Van 
Dyke, but spent 3 days at Nanny Cay Marina. The owner of the boat I was 
on is good friends of a couple, Mario and Karine, who are from Montreal 
and oversee about half dozen charter boats owned by French Canadians in 
Nanny Cay. For mono hulls they have at least a smaller Beneteau 37.5 (?) 
at the low end and two Hanse (44 and a 50something). They are very 
flexible and can provide anything from just a bareboat to a partially to 
full provisioned boat all the way up to a crew. I also do not believe he 
imposes some of the restrictions (i.e., must pick up a mooring/no 
anchoring) that some of the other providers do.

Let me know if you want their contact information.
