Looking for owners time - May 2027
biminis
1 hour ago
Hello,
I’m looking for one week of owners time on a 4 cabin/4 head CAT in May of 2027. I’ve chartered in the BVI many times and have used owners time through the moorings for many of those trips.
If any one has any time they wish to sell, you can email me at biminis@aol.com.
Thanks,
Ken

Cupecoy this week

We've been traveling to SXM since 2001 but never spent a day at Cupecoy. The sea was a bit rough today at Baie Long and I got a little road rash...nothing substantial. Has anyone been to Cupecoy this week who can tell me if it's rough? Also would love more info on parking fee, chairs etc so we are prepared. We've heard good things about Dany's place!

Grenada worth it if not on boat?
tangerine3
09/28/2026 08:05 PM
Hello,
We are only doing land based trip and want to go back to mayreau it has been over 10 years and unfortunately this time around it has to be in high season, we usually go off season anywhere . . .we are looking mid january to late february. We want to fly into SVD take plane to union and water taxi over to mayreau then come back through Grenada. I have been looking on Grenada and the Grand Anse is unfortunately pretty full for those times and the hotels or airbnbs that are left don't look appealing to me. We are not high end and do not do all inclusive. Like airbnbs and/or boutique accommodations. I do see some other properties but they are not in walking distance to either beach. Is it worth it to rent a car and stay somewhere other than the beach area? Would be willing to do that if the lodging had restaurants, shops and bars nearby to walk to. Any suggestions? thanks.

Our last week
BarbyandLeo
09/27/2026 12:29 AM
All good things come to an end as it’s said. It sure doesn’t seem as we’ve been here 5 weeks, feels like we have just gotten here. Sad to leave, but blessed to have enjoyed these days!
Our last week here was much as the first four. Lots of beach time…Sunday, we stayed at Orient and it was beautiful! No sargassum and calm waters, can’t get any better.
Monday we drove over to Friar’s Bay…and yes the road has been fixed but not all the way to the beach. The major pothole is still there.
Tuesday it was Grande Case Beach by Captain Frenchy which was a little busy due to cruise ships on the island, We had a nice day, enjoying speaking to fellow travelers and locals. Dinner was at Scooby for ribs. Enjoyed the sunset and off to “home” after a very nice day.
Wednesday was a so-so weather day with some rain. We went to Driftwood Boat Bar for lunch and some drinks. We shared a pizza, Leo had beer and I enjoyed a couple 😉 rum punches. The pizza was really good, which we didn’t expect. We got back “home” and enjoyed some pool time.
Thursday was a Mullet Bay day…we bumped into some travelers from Pa that we had met Tuesday in Grande Case. We enjoyed another nice conversation with them as this was their first time on the island. They definitely will be returning with their husbands soon. We left a little later than expected as it was already getting dark, we went to Little J for take out dinner. Good food, Leo almost finished his meal, I only ate half. They really give lots!
Friday, we decided to take a drive to Baie Longue. We had never been there and wanted to check it out. The water was pretty rough, and we were the only ones there as it is very secluded and not easy to get to. We went, saw, and left. We stopped by Mark’s Place and took dinner for later at “home”. We went for a swim in Orient Beach for the last time…this trip.
Saturday…our last day to enjoy the island before we start planning for our next trip. As we had done all our faves on this last week, today was back to Grande Case beach to seal the vacation. The day was somewhat cloudy and I told Leo that the island felt our sadness for leaving tomorrow….The clouds opened up and it was mostly sunny and of course we enjoyed a great tranquil beach day. We stopped at Bona Mama and picked up a pizza for dinner, plus a charcuterie of whatever was left in the fridge.
We have had an amazing time! And have enjoyed meeting people and sharing our love for the island. We loved meeting TTOL member Mahokid and his wife, which I’m sure we’ll enjoy sharing with again on future trips.

Tortola stop on Virgin Cruise
Todd
09/25/2026 10:44 PM
Hi all,
I have been to the USVI, first time in the 70's, am a regular on SXM since 2002. I am not a cruiser but for the first time doing a cruise in over 30 years I will be one of those on a ship, Virgin Valiant Lady. We are in our 60's, I am not a tour with a large group type of person, enjoy the beach and local bars but also thinking of if we take a charter to The Baths. If you were to arrive, forced to or otherwise on a ship, what would you suggest to do? This will be late January and there will be another couple that likely will join us in what ever we do.
Thank you in advance,
Todd

Pre-Christmas Crowds
snmhanson
09/25/2026 08:30 PM
We have chartered the BVIs many times, but never during Christmas. Just booked a trip and will be on water 12/18-12/28. Anyone have an idea as to how crowded it will be during that time? I know it gets quite busy after Christmas and through the New Year, but what about the week prior to Christmas?
Thanks!

Beach facilities
calle313
09/25/2026 03:44 PM
Hi!
In southern Europe, most bigger beaches have public facilities, free for the beach guests. They can include toilets, fresh water showers and changing stalls.
Not every beach has all these facilities, but they are quite common.
How is it on St. Martin´s bigger beaches, are these facilities common there too?
