Are you missing beam reaching down the Sir Francis Drake channel?
Fed up with winter?
Are the tropical trade winds calling?
Call the Conch team to remedy this now.
Best book to read this month about the BVI is “Two on the Isle” a memory of Marina Cay late 1030’s. The story of Marina Cay that later became a movie with Sydney Poitier “Shot in the BVI”
Now of course “Pussers Resort” where Michael Bean entertains at the Happy Hour bar on the summit at 5.30pm
Conch News
Newly arrived, Jeanneau 43 DS owners version with a massive aft cabin. Our only yacht with teak decks.
Cool idea for kids (and adults) just a short walk from our base to Dolphin Discovery where you get to hang out with the dolphins for a while.
Best Bar this month
The Last Resort on Belamy Cay, Trellis Bay.
Great Entertainment, Great Food, Great Location
Tip – You can play boule on the lawn, ask at the bar

Ice Boxes - We know how sometimes its nice to travel with a few things from home so keeping them cool with an Ice Box is the sensible thing to do. Conch Charters will buy any new Ice Box upto $40 from you after your vacation. All you have to do is bring in the receipt and we will refund the cost......
