Will your trip be cancelled or otherwise interrupted?

Anyone investing in a BVI sailing vacation or power boat charter should consider purchasing Trip Cancellation and/or Trip Interruption Insurance. Since everything does not "always" proceed as planned; it is wise to look at the "what ifs".

Be prepared ... For instance, "what if":

• Someone in your party takes seriously ill at the last minute, and you have to cancel your sailing vacation?
• You get fogged in or snowed in at the airport?
• A hurricane or other force of nature severely damages the area you intend to visit or the yacht you have chartered; making your trip impossible?
• A member of your party is injured or becomes seriously ill while on vacation, cutting your holiday short?
• There is an airline strike and your flight is canceled?

Anything can happen ... and it is the smart traveler who is prepared for these possibilities, however unlikely they may seem.

Whether you use a travel agent or book your own sailing vacation, you should purchase trip cancellation and travel insurance. We know of several good companies offering reasonable prices and good coverage plans. Insurance is worth its weight in gold and we strongly suggest that you don't leave home without it!
