British Virgin Islands Sailing Vacations Communication Access

British Virgin Islands Sailing Vacations Communication Access
By Alex Padilla

You have booked a charter but have thoughts in the back of your mind wondering how you will communicate with family and friends back home. Some of you may leave behind love ones that are sick or unable to take care of themselves. In this situation the future charterer may be scrambling to make arrangements for unobstructed communications

The truth is, if you bring your cell phone it may work in some areas but probably not all. Verizon subscribers may find it easy to make calls because they provide service in about ten islands around the area.

Our office in Tortola carries CCT Boat Phone. It is recommended that our charterers use this particular communications service because it is the best way for staff members to communicate with you and vice versa while on charter. The radio on board the vessels only work about a mile from the office, this is why this service is suggested.

If you decide to go with this option, CCT Boat Phone will require a $25 per day deposit. The good thing about opting out for this is that any calls made between the boat and base are free. All of the other phone calls will be deducted from your credit card deposit. If you happen to have no use for the phone, then Boat Phone will credit your card back within 30 days.

If a family member or friend can not get a hold of you they may contact the office. Our daytime phone number is 284-494-6661 during 8:30-5pm. They may also call our toll free number 800-262-0308. In the event of an emergency they can call one of associates cell phones 284-499-2079.
