This is Joie - I work in the Regency BVI office.  I began working for Kathleen February this year so needless to say this is my first hurricane season.  How unfair is it to have such a scare in your first season??  For this reason, not to mention the numerous weather reports that predict little to no activity in the VI’s, I have convinced myself that tonight is going to be very uneventful! 

 I suppose I should not make light of the situation, especially since Hurricane Dean has wreaked havoc on our down-island neighbors.  I do want to send best wishes and great luck to everyone that is or will be affected by this and remind people that when they book a yacht charter in July-October that it is a great idea to buy trip insurance.  Though charters will not be cancelled due to Hurricane Dean and it has been years since there has been a severe hurricane, it’s a good feeling to know you’re covered just in case!

It has been very exciting to get started on Charterwave.  There are still so many people who are unaware of what a wonderful vacation crewed yacht chartering offers and Charterwave is a great venue to show off what we all have known for years.  

Living in the Virgin Islands has exposed me to many varieties of yachts and crews, and I pride myself on being able to match anyone with the perfect yacht for their tastes.  I attend at least two yacht shows each year in the Virgin Islands. Plus now that business is growing in the Mediterranean, I attend one or two yacht shows there each year.   The charter business is always changing - new yachts, new destinations, more variety - and I do all that I can to keep myself changing with it, all while drawing from my years of experience.  I am very pleased to add Regency to this venue and to keep on moving and changing with the business!
