New season begins...


We are all very excited for the start of the new season beginning this month! 

 

You will notice a few changes this season. During September the Conch staff were very busy working to make sure your next Conch Charters experience is even better!

 

 Upgraded Boat Books- Tablets

 

All of our boats will now feature a 10' Galaxy tablet! It will contain all of your boats information as well as useful tips and hints about cruising in the BVI! 

 

 
 

Quickly and easily find what you need, along with photos to help you understand your boat's systems better!

 

For those of you who don't want to completely switch off our staff can help you set up a guest account so that you can also use it to browse the internet and check email. 


 

NEW Retail items  

 

The ever expanding Conch boutique now features sunglasses retainers, hat clips and a range of sunscreen! Watch out office space, the retail area is expanding... 

 


 
    

Coolers


 Many of our charter guests like to bring a cooler down containing a fewfood items but don't want to take it home again! 

 

No problem! We are happy to buy the cooler from you (up to a value of $40) if you bring a NEW cooler. If you manage not to lose the receipt, bring it down with you!


 
You can get this Coleman 48 quart marine cooler from Walmart for just $35.99! 
 
Conch's Fab Spot of the Month  

Pusser's Marina Cay

Marina Cay, a small 8 acre island located right next to both Great Camanoe and Scrub island, is only a stone's throw from Tortola.

In the early 90s, the island was brought by Charles Tobias, founder of Pussers, who set about building the small resort, gift shop and restaurant that is still there today! It had joined the chain of Pussers restaurants that are scattered throughout the BVI.

It is a great place to spend the afternoon, with sandy shallow water right off the beach perfect for splashing about in, plus some fantastic snorkeling on the inner reef! And of course, the famous Pussers Painkiller cocktail, a favourite of many (although they didn't invent it!)

Marina Cay is a popular overnight spot for many with around 30 overnight moorings all maintained by Moore Secure, there are consistent breezes which help to keep it cool in the evenings.   
It may be small but there is a lot packed into this little island! They have a fuel dock with both gas and diesel, plus water and ice available. The dock is home to the famous red phone box, which features a live webcam looking out over the water!

Staying on Tortola? No problem there is a regular ferry service from Trellis Bay over to Marina Cay (no even 5 minutes ride!)
 
      
Conch-coction

"Dark and Spooky"

 

 2oz Conch Superior Rum

 (a bottle free with every charter)

  Ginger Beer
  A dash of lime juice
  Wedge of Lime

Add a gummy spider to the bottom of a curved glass filled with ice. Next add the rum and a dash of lime juice. Then pour the ginger beer so that it floats on top. Finish with a wedge of lime! 

A great Halloween 'twist' on this Caribbean classic!   
 Testing Question

             

In which bar was the Painkiller invented?

All of us have a story from the time there was 'one to many' Painkillers! But in which bar in the BVI was it first created? 

Hint: It may be Pussers signature drink, but it wasn't invented in one of their bars!
