Captain Opportunity | British Virgin Islands & Grenadines.

An exceptional opportunity for an ambitious and professional mariner looking to take the next step toward becoming a successful charter captain within a growing luxury fleet operation.

This is a live-aboard position aboard a Bali Catspace catamaran operating throughout the Caribbean. The vessel will cruise down-island for the summer season and remain in the water through the upcoming winter charter season.

We are seeking an energetic, service-oriented individual with strong people skills, a professional attitude, and a passion for the charter industry. This role offers the opportunity to grow alongside a rapidly expanding company operating in both the British Virgin Islands and the Grenadines, with additional new Bali catamarans joining the fleet.

Dear Members,

As you may already know, at the AGM for the Marine Association of the BVI, the election for the position of chair resulted in a tie. Subsequently the election was held online to try and reach a wider number of members. The sitting board voted in favor of certifying the outcome. Engagement from the membership was very good with most eligible members participating in the vote, which is a great sign for the association.

As the new chair for the association, I am committed to ensuring we fully represent our members and ensure your voices are heard. As usual, we will be holding the regular monthly meeting on Wednesday at 12:30pm at VISAR base in Road Reef, on the last Wednesday of the month. I hope you will be able to join us. 

If you ever have matters you’d like to raise, feel free to reach out to us.

Jeremy Twist

Chairperson

Board of Directors | Marine Association of the BVI

Recent updates to the Commercial Recreational Vessel Licensing (CRVL) framework aim to bring clarity, maintain safety standards, and ensure the BVI continues to meet its international maritime obligations. As commercial activity grows, these changes are also designed to support marine safety, strengthen customs operations, and provide clearer vessel classifications and licensing requirements.

We know change isn’t always easy, especially when it involves legislation. With any new framework, there’s a period of working through what it all means in practice. Our goal is to break down the CRVL legislation in a clear and practical way, starting with the basics and building from there. We may not get every detail perfect right away, but through open discussion and shared feedback, we can work through it together.

Please share your thoughts, comments, or questions by emailing us at admin@marinebvi.org or reach out to a board member.
