Soggy Dollar in Top 10 Caribbean Bars
Journal says British Virgin Islands bar is worth the trip
Tortola, British Virgin Islands, May 10, 2013 - Online news site Carib Journal highlights the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke as one of the best Caribbean beach bars. Listed between Nevis' Sunshine Beach Lounge and Ti' Robinson on Guadeloupe, the post gives insight into what makes the establishment so hip.
"Jost Van Dyke is only accessible by boat, and The Soggy Dollar Bar, located on White Bay Beach in the British Virgin Islands' Jost Van Dyke, is worth the trip. It's as classic a beach bar as you can find with an always-interesting crowd."
Along with soaking wet dollars, and tasty food and drinks the island's jaw-dropping blue waters and stark white sands are often some of the visitors' most memorable delights. Soggy Dollar Bar on the British Virgin Islands was listed along with island bars found on Nevis, Guadeloupe, Anguilla, Dominican Republic, St. Maarten, Jamaica, Martinique, U.S. Virgin Islands and The Bahamas.

FAMILY, FRIENDS, SAILING AND WHALES!
Lagoon 560
In the BVI’s, the winds and weather are very predictable. What’s not predictable are the inspirational and genuine people that step on the charter boats here week after week. You can’t predict the things you are going to learn from 4 candid kids and their loving parents or from the successful business man who likes to do his laundry off the sugar scoop with JOY dish soap. We can’t predict when we will see dolphins swimming off the bow going into the North Sound or Whales breaching while sailing the south shores of Virgin Gorda. These are the unpredictable events that contribute to the unforgettable memories the guests aboard Blue Moon take home with them. Join us next season and make some unpredictable yet memorable experiences of your own! Who knows what the day may bring in the sunny BVIs.

The Latest Addition to Our Catamaran Charter Fleet!
The new Lagoon 39 catamaran is available for charter in the BVI.
The Catamaran Company is excited to announce that the New Lagoon 39 catamaran is the latest addition to our charter fleet and will be available November 2013!
This beautiful, luxurious catamaran was released in 2012 by the world's leading builder of cruising catamarans. She will be waiting for you in Tortola.
The Lagoon 39 brings the solutions of the new Lagoon catamaran generation to the entry level sailor. However Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prevost (VPLP) implemented their 28 years of design experience in racing and cruising to create a truly magnificent "Next Generation." Her filiation with the new Lagoon 52 is apparent on first sight with a pure, sleek and elegant design by VPLP: vertical, beveled bows, seemingly freely-suspended deckhouse, and a modern aft central rig with an abaft positioned mast for sailing performance and ease of handling ... a strong character indeed!
4 Cabins / 2 Head Layout
This new build catamaran offers an unprecedented layout. An efficient use of space obviously ranks among the top priorities when developing a 39ft cruising catamaran. In this regard, the Nauta Design office and Lagoon R & D choices combine inventiveness and elegance. They designed a bright salon with nav station and L shaped galley. The Lagoon 39 has four innovative interior layouts.
Positioning the mast more aft means- Enhanced performance under sail
- Less pitching
- More downwind sails possibilities
- Easier maneuvering
- Less efforts
- Better visibility from the steering station
The signature vertical windows provide the best panoramic views for exploring the islands surrounding Tortola; they enhance UV protection, and increase headroom while optimizing living space.

The Catamaran Company is VERY pleased to announce the sale of a 2013 Lagoon 52 4 cabin/4 head model into charter service in Tortola, BVI. Available from October 15th 2013 in Tortola, BVI.
4 cabin version: 1 owner's suite and 3 VIP guest cabins
It's all about the fact that the mast has been moved aft! And about combining sailing performance but keeping the luxury!
A mast placed more aft means:
- More performance
- Less pitching
- More downwind sails possibilities
- Easier maneuvering
- Less efforts
- Better visibility from the steering station
The move of the mast aft has creating the following highlights.
It ensures a better centering of weight, less pitching and a better rig efficiency.
With the mast aft, boom is shorter and mainsail is more efficient.
Overall sailing performance is better than the Lagoon 500
- The more the rig is centered, the better the balance of the sail plan.
- The more aft the rig, the larger the downwind sails
- Centered mast = lighter masts rig sails = less pitching
Another interesting technological innovation on this catamaran is the electrical multiplexing of the onboard systems that are really more user friendly.
- More information for a better power management: 3.5" touchscreen
- An easy to use system
- Interior light wireless switches
The steering station can be adjusted to three different positions (starboard, center or port), giving the skipper perfect visibility under sail or when maneuvering.
The sales price fully equipped for charter is approx. $1, 4 million to purchase fully equipped ready for charter. For charter we must ensure certain requirements such as mosquito nets, fridges/freezers, generator with air conditioning, deck gear etc. We also must ensure you that the return makes sense to the private owner of this vessel. We therefore have to charter out the catamaran at a rate that makes sense to operate this beautiful yacht in bareboat charter. Bareboat catamarans seem to be getting larger and larger and more expensive to operate in charter. You will need to know how to operate a catamaran of this size and you will need a first mate to help you along. If you have chartered a 44ft catamaran or larger we feel you probably have the requirements to operate this catamaran by yourself with help of a crew.
To operate this catamaran and maintain her in perfect condition, insure the vessel etc., the charter rates are as follows:
High Season | Mid-Season | Mid Low | Low |
$16,400 | $15,600 | $14,500 | $13,400 |
We will honor your repeat charter discount. This is very rare opportunity to bring you the best charter product in the industry. Charter this catamaran in the world's best sailing destination...Tortola, BVI!
Nowhere in the world will you find another Lagoon 52 available for bareboat charter. This is a very unique opportunity to try out the latest innovation from Lagoon catamarans. The Lagoon 52 stands out over her competition. A noble catamaran built with luxurious materials and vast interior spaces. Open cockpit that feels more like a deck with an increased fly bridge space for socializing, taking the helm and sunbathing.
The Lagoon 52 is elegant, comfortable and a safe catamaran to charter. Very charter friendly and built to ensure that this catamaran can sail with a minimum amount of crew even though her size is vast. The catamaran is accessed via open aft transoms permitting easy boarding and disembarking with broad side decks all with recessed deck hatches.
The cockpit is level with the salon with an outdoor lounge and sun lounging area to starboard.
The fly bridge is reached either by a staircase leading from the cockpit, or by another leading from the deck on the starboard side.
Her hull lines are sleek and shapely, slightly beveled and the bows are superb. The Lagoon 52 represents the start of a new generation due to her rig, but also to her original design
The foresails have more power and they are also more multi-purpose allowing more challenging sailing. The longitudinal structure built into the seagull wing shaped bridge deck absorbs the compression force of the mast.
