The island is designed to elevate people and their purpose. Hosting very out-of-the-box summits and attracting people who aim to make the world a better place, what is now called ''The Aerial BVI'' is changing the way travel is even done.Lauren Jade Hill,
New owner, Britnie Turner married Veteran Green Beret Jeremy Locke as the first wedding on the island January 8, 2022. The couple use the island as a space of healing for veterans, caretakers and survivors of various kinds of abuse as well as work with local non-profits to host educational programs for gardening and equine therapy.
The island has a long strip of flat land which was the BVI’s first airstrip.Charlotte Hawkins,
