BVI

The Real Origin of BVI Charter

History credits Jack Von Ost with the advent of BVI charter. But there was another man before him. His name is Paul Gouin—and we sat down with him for an unexpected history lesson.

Back in the BVI

Now may be the best time in years to charter in the islands.

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.
