VIBE – It’s a Destination Boat Show!
Join us May 10 – 12 at the first-annual Virgin Islands Boating Exhibition (VIBE) — the new 2.0 version of a yacht buying show. The show will take place at the Yacht Haven Grande St. Thomas, in the U.S. Virgin Islands and offers an opportunity to test sail the latest model yachts in what Caribbean Journal called the ‘Hottest Yachting Destination in the Caribbean’ in 2021.
What’s more, VIBE combines this with a boutique-quality vibe and all the elements of a world-class vacation – award-winning accommodations, a curated Food & Wine Experience, and the best of U.S. Virgin Islands’ cultural entertainment.

Catamaran Guru at VIBE
We are having our Luxury Charter Management partner, Dream Caribbean Blue join us to feature three Bali Catamarans – the 5.4, 4.8, and 4.6. The Bali 5.4 earned Multihull of the Year in 2019 by Multihulls World magazine and its French-language counterpart, Multicoques Mag. In 2021, the editors at SAIL magazine in their ‘The Latest in Multihull Design’ article dubbed the Bali 4.8 ‘a great vacation choice when on charter’. The 4.6 was in the running for Cruising World’s Boat of the Year award for 2022.
Catamaran Guru Meetup – Saturday, May 11th!
Join Stephen & Estelle for a meetup in Paradise! Enjoy a cocktail and meet with fellow boat owners, sailors and yacht crews. We will be available for a chat, a cocktail and to discuss boat buying opportunities and explain how a charter business can benefit you. Meet us at the Bali Catamaran display after the show on Saturday, May 11th.

Why the USVI?
The U.S. Virgin Islands offers a business-friendly environment for buying and selling yachts, thanks to its use of the U.S. dollar, U.S. banking institutions, and exclusive tax incentives. With no sales tax and duty-free allowances for vendors, the territory provides favorable conditions for conducting yacht transactions. Additionally, the well-established and highly successful charter industry in the USVI presents opportunities to speak directly with local company representatives about purchasing a vessel for income-producing crewed charters.
