The ultimate 007 Catamaran! What makes this catamaran Bond worthy? We believe there are certain elements making this the ultimate 007 catamaran! Superior performance, larger deck areas, luxury f eatures below and above decks and the amazing fly bridge are just some of the key highlights onboard the new Lagoon 450.
Cruise Like Bond! We can easily picture Daniel Craig lounging above decks, on the fly bridge of this luxury 007 catamaran. We do suggest to him, to consider the Lagoon 450 as the location for the next bond Flick, don't you think? Read more on the catamaran highlights.

Beginning on the 1st October 2012, Seaborne Airlines will be operating two flights daily between San Juan Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in Puerto Rico and the Terrence B. Lettsome International Airport in the BVI. Seaborne Airlines plans to significantly increase service in 2013 to facilitate up to seven flights daily to the BVI. Over the next eight months, Seaborne Airline will be expanding its fleet of aircrafts to include the Saab 340B, which will have the capacity to hold up to 34 passengers per flight. With twice the number of seats per aircraft and additional scheduled flights, the new planes will be able to facilitate in meeting the high demand of air travel to the BVI. The first Saab 340B aircrafts will be incorporated into the fleet at the end of the year and will start flying to the BVI in March 2013.
