Environment
In visiting the Tobago Cays by yacht guests will pay fees towards the sustainability project protecting the area. Tobago Cays are an archipelago comprised of five small uninhabited islands - Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Baradol, Petit Tobac and Jamesby - located in the Southern Grenadines. The Tobago Cays are now the key element of the Tobago Cays Marine Park, a national park and wildlife preserve run by the St.Vincent and the Grenadines government. The yacht and villa owners both provide information relative to, conservation of energy and the villas composting program.
Tranquility Villa is an ECO villa whose owners encourage composting, by asking the guests to separate garbage by providing green bins in the kitchen and a composting bins on the property. The villa is fully equipped with energy saving bulbs, solar water heating and has no air conditioning units (the villa is cooled by breezes.) The showers are low power and toilets are half flush.The owners never use pesticides as we are aware of the effects on the environment.
Moonhole pennisular is maintained as a nature reserve. Tranquility Villa is part of this reserve and provides a low impact, eco friendly vacation experience. Electricity is from solar panels. Water is solar heated. The house was built from natural local materials in harmony with the environment. Both yacht and villa owners strongly encourage conservation of water by asking guests to re use towels. All consumable items are bought from local shops, e.g toilet tissue, cleaning supplies and detergents.
The yacht owners are strongly involved with the green development of the island of Bequia. As such the are educating by way of example against the unnecessarily demolishing of forest and damage to wildlife while people build new homes on the island.
Community
Both the yacht and villa owners are local residents and employ local citizens. The villa owners give their our staff on the job training and seminars by SVGHT association and assist with sponsorship for community clean up regularly by providing bins painted by the Handicap children (Sunshine School) garbage bags and gloves. They provide garbage receptacles for public use and aim at keeping our beaches pristine, therefore we encourage guests and locals to utilize the bins particularly on public holidays when the beaches are frequented by locals. Our yacht brokerage is a member of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association. 2% of our profit is donated to local charities in the Grenadines.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
