VIPCA Charter Yacht Show comes straight after the neighbouring BVI Charter Show. These days, this is a much bigger show, hosted in St Thomas, at the IGY Marina.
During the show, crewed yachts, mostly catamarans, open doors to the brokers and other industry members.
We all spend few days visiting the yachts, talking to the crews, tasting chefs’ specialities, finding out how and why they might be the best charter option for our clients. We listen and learn about their experiences, we give suggestions, we take advices.
