Tagged: boat bar, british virgin islands, bvi, caribbean, willy t
The Willy T, a boat-turned-bar located in the British Virgin Islands, has been notified that it must move from its current location in Great Harbour, Peter Island. After moving from its longtime original spot from the Bight, Norman Island after its latest incarnation post-Irma, the news is a shock, to say the least, to the owners of the Willy T and its longtime customers. According to BVI News, the Willy T’s latest relocation is the...

Information about it has been hard to find...

I’ve seen a lot of images of boats turned into beach bars. I’ve even been lucky enough to stumble up to one of the best boats turned beach bars in the form of Elvis’ Beach Bar in Sandy Ground, Anguilla and Bankie Banx incorporates boats into his Dune Preserve. It’s a cool concept and even if you don’t have a boat handy or one large enough, you can still make your beach bar resemble one (see Castaways in...
