Bahamas Modifies Covid Protocols For Vaccinated Travellers

The Bahamas Announces Updated Travel and Entry Protocols
 

New Rules in Effect for Vaccinated Travelers
April 23, 2021
 
The Government of The Bahamas announced updated public health measures and entry protocols for fully vaccinated travellers, stating: 
 
Effective May 1, 2021, international visitors travelling to The Bahamas from other countries who are fully vaccinated and have passed the two-week immunity period will be exempt from testing requirements for entry and inter-island travel.
 
 
Requirements For Vaccinated Travellers
 
Vaccinated travellers will still need to apply for the Bahamas Travel Health Visa and will be required to upload proof of vaccination (such a government issued vaccine record card) and ensure the name and date of vaccination(s) are clearly stated. They will not need to provide a negative COVID-19 PCR test prior to entry or submit to rapid testing mandates during their stay.
 
 
Requirements For All Travellers
 
All travellers will be required to apply for the Bahamas Travel Health Visa and complete the daily health questionnaire. All residents and visitors must adhere to health and safety protocols on-island such as mask wearing, social distancing and frequent hand washing among others. Health and safety remain their highest priority and we all must continue to be vigilant.
 

Please Note - Re-Entry to the US

You will need to get tested no more than 3 days before you travel by air into the United States and show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight. See CDC guidelines HERE.

BVI Modifies Covid Protocols For Vaccinated Travellers

BVI To Introduce New Travel Requirements For Fully Vaccinated Travellers

This is great news for yacht charters. Everyone still needs to have a negative test result before arrival, register with the BVI Gateway portal, and have a test upon arrival to the island. If you are fully vaccinated, once you get your arrival test result you are free of quarantine. Hurray! 


PRESS RELEASE - APRIL 23, 2021
 
Minister for Health and Social Development, the Honourable Carvin Malone, stated that effective May 15, 2021 fully vaccinated persons travelling from overseas would require a PCR test within five (5) days of travel, provide satisfactory evidence of being fully vaccinated, and will be subject to a PCR test upon arrival (day zero). Fully vaccinated persons will be quarantined until a negative test result is received from the BVI Health Services Authority.
 
The Minister said, “In other words, if the test administered on arrival returns a negative result, the fully vaccinated traveller will be immediately released from quarantine unless they have been in close contact with a positive case.”
 
Minister Malone explained that a person is deemed to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 two weeks after they have received both doses of an approved two-dose vaccine, such as AstraZeneca, Pfizer, or Moderna or one shot of a single-dose vaccine such as Johnson & Johnson.
 
Read the full press release HERE.
 

 
Now that you are vaccinated, perhaps you'd like to go sailing. See our previous post Sail the BVIs This Spring / Summer
 
Remember, it's not too early to book for the holidays.

Looking forward to your inquiry !

Meet Charter Catamaran Ultra

Charter Catamaran Ultra
More Than Just A Name

Catamaran Ultra - All-inclusive yacht charters in the Virgin Islands
 
 
Ultra, a 63-foot Lagoon power catamaran with an excellent crew of two (remember Drumbeat?), is available for all-inclusive, crewed sailing vacations in the Virgin Islands for parties of up to 8 guests.
 
With an abundance of both inside and outside space, guests have the freedom to lounge and dine in a variety of areas such as the salon with satellite TV, the spacious aft cockpit and the large flybridge giving a 360-degree view from the top.

Ultra accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 cabins (3 Queens & 1 Twin with bunks) each with private ensuite heads with sink, stall shower, electric-flush toilet. The master cabin is well appointed with a sofa, large closets, and drawers. There are also USB outlets to charge devices in each cabin.

Their hydraulic dinghy platform does double duty at anchor. It can be lowered down to water level to become an area to sit and hang out, dipping your toes and having easy access to the clear, blue Caribbean water.
 
 
THE CREW


Vince and Linda Stracener have a passion for being on the water and a commitment to excellence. The beauty of the ocean will be shared through their stories and lived through experience. Their attention to detail will ensure a spectacular vacation. Whether your desire is to kick up your heels, snorkel till you drop, or just relax at a secluded palm lined beach, Vince and Linda will make all your dreams come true.

We've known Vince & Linda for 25 years (where'd the time go?). You may remember them from their previous charter yacht, Drumbeat. We have had lots of charters with them over the years with many repeats. They are well liked and respected in the charter community.
 
 
AMENITIES
 
Ultra is well-equipped for active guests with waterskis, tube, wakeboard, 2 one-person kayaks, 2 standup paddleboards (SUPs), snorkel gear, floating mats, beach games, and fishing equipment. And, if you just want to relax and chill out, you can do that too.

Other amenities include their 14-foot dinghy with 60HP motor, satellite TV, plenty of movies and a variety of music for your entertainment, along with onboard wifi. There is a surround sound system in the main salon, aft cockpit, and flybridge.

 
AVAILABILITY

Ultra is a very popular yacht. They are booked up through the summer and their first open week begins November 13, 2021. Ultra is currently open for Thanksgiving but booked for Christmas and New Years.
 
Ultra is legal for USVI-only charters.
 

BROCHURE

View Ultra's online brochure HERE
 
 
SPECIAL OFFER
 
5% discount for previous Paradise Connections clients who chartered with Vince & Linda on their previous charter yacht, Drumbeat. 

 
YOU DESERVE THIS
 
Come on down and kick back with a good book or go paddling on a kayak. Zip around on waterskis or enjoy a cocktail on the flybridge. Snorkel in the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean or walk the whitest sand beaches. The choices are yours and they are all waiting for you aboard the charter catamaran Ultra.

Treat Yourself To A Yacht Charter

You Deserve It
 
With the recent good news concerning the covid-19 situation in the US, we are experiencing an uptick in yacht charter inquries.
 
 
Hurray!!!
 
Federal health officials said fully vaccinated people may travel as evidence mounts of the vaccines' effectiveness at helping to protect against coronavirus infections and their spread. This is welcome news for the growing number of vaccinated adults who want greater freedom to visit family members and take vacations for the first time in a year.

If you are thinking that a sailing vacation would be an excellent getaway and a nice change of scenery, drop us an email and let's get started.

For those of you considering a yacht charter for the holidays, here are recommended dates for Christmas and New Years:
  • Christmas: should end on or before December 26th
  • New Years: begins December 27th at the earliest

Bookings for holiday charters are picking up so please don't wait too long.
 
We also have discounted charters for November & December that you might find interesting.
