Newsletter: August 2026
Well hello there!
We’re in that time of year where we’re relishing these precious last days of summer. We realize time moves faster than we remember, and what comes next is suddenly here. Offseason has begun to present itself.
The rub is that many of our favorite spots are closed, and for many boats it’s maintenance or rest time. There’s a bit more rain (that rarely lasts) and the Caribbean becomes a bit more active.
But… ahhhhhhhh…
Anchors aweigh and the journeys become the destinations.
The back rub version of the offseason is that we look around and realize there is no less to do, and we are just where we want to be.
The best days can just as easily be about going nowhere specifically, and doing nothing in particular. Exploring quiet bays and stretching long on deck with a beverage as we watch the beauty move around us, enjoying the cool blow of the breeze that’s harder to find anywhere but on a boat this time of year.
It’s pretty great here in the offseason.

VOODOO Gets an Offseason Rest and Refresh
VOODOO will be out of the water September 1–15 for scheduled maintenance, upgrades, and some extra attention after a busy season. We’ll have her all refreshed and back out for you in no time.
∗ The Back Rub ∗
VORADO is running all throughout the offseason!
Private Charters
Private trips are available throughout the offseason on VORADO, and on VOODOO for all but the two weeks in September.
Shared Charters
There are still a few upcoming shared BVI Snorkel and White Bay — Jost Van Dyke trips this month, then back in October!
Have your lunch and eat it too.
A Perfect Spot for a Local Deli Lunch
Everywhere and anywhere is the perfect place for lunch on a private charter with Voodoo.
Upon request, we can order up a delicious spread of sandwich fixin’s or pre-made sandwiches ahead of time. Fresh from the local deli.
- For private charters with groups of more than 10: Local delis can put together build-your-own sandwich spreads with assorted breads and wraps, meats, cheeses, toppings and condiments, plus two salads and cookies. Gluten-free options are available too.
- For groups of less than 10: We can order delicious customized sandwiches and sides from these local delis to bring along for lunch on the catamaran.
By the way, have you been thinking about the holidays?
No, not yet! Not yet!
Let us focus on making the remaining summer days count.
But we all know the ropes and the holidays arrive when we’re not looking. The weeks around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s are booking up. If a private charter or shared trip is part of your holiday plans, you’ve still got a chance to get your preferred day on the calendar.
Call or text us at 340-690-8272, email us at info@voodoovi.com, or you can contact us here to sort anything out.
Hoping to meet you on your path,
The Voodoo Crew
