Sail the Grenadines this Autumn

 Charter St Vincent & The Grenadines

 

 

Are you in need of a break and have the dreaded "been there, done that" feeling? Try something different this time. Several of the Bali catamarins we represent are offering crewed yacht charters in the Grenadines this summer / autumn.

 

Comprised of 32 islands and cays, St Vincent and the Grenadines offers countless possibilities. From the lush tropical rainforest of St Vincent that are full of eco-adventures, to the idyllic beaches, coral reefs and turquoise lagoons of the Grenadines, SVG is a tropical paradise for sailing, scuba diving, enjoying nature, and relaxing in seclusion. Escape a hectic lifestyle and unwind aboard your crewed charter yacht.

 

Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their rigid front cockpits with lounge and sunbathing areas, the aft platform connecting the two sugarscoop transoms having a large bench seat and lockers, the large tilt-and-turn door opening the salon to the aft deck plus sliding salon windows, as well as a panoramic relaxation area up on the flybridge.

British Virgin Islands & Covid-19

BVI drops Covid-19 entry test

 

From a press release issued today, 14 July 2022, the Minister for Health and Social Development announced that effective Friday July 15th, persons visiting the [British] Virgin Islands will no longer be required to present a negative Covid-19 test to gain entry.

The Cabinet of the Virgin Islands passed an amendment to the Covid-19 Control and Suppression (Entry of Persons) Regulation on July 13th that revokes Covid-19 testing requirements.

Minister for Health and Social Development Honourable Marlon Penn said that further relaxation of the Covid-19 Suppression measures is based on the reduced impact of the disease and the move from pandemic to endemic.

Honourable Penn said, “Currently the statistics are revealing that the virus is having a very minimal impact on those affected and the mortality rates have decreased significantly. That is why we feel at this stage we can re-open the borders and return to pre-COVID normal with regards to travel to the Territory.”

The Minister for Health is further urging persons to remain vigilant and continue to practice good hand hygiene and wear a mask when in questionable environments to reduce the risk of exposure.

The Covid-19 BVI Travel Requirements, updated on June 24, 2022, announced:

 

Effective 15th June, 2022, travelers, regardless of their vaccination status are no longer required to register and apply to enter the Territory via the BVI Gateway Travel Application Portal. Provision of evidence of travel insurance is also no longer required.
