Fly Bode Caribbean Air Charter

Many Caribbean islands have re-opened their borders to visitors. Most of them have COVID-19 related protocols in place but they vary greatly from country to country.

Some nations are very relaxed and welcoming, even offering complimentary travel assistance while others are still closed and debating what their protocols should be.

Since those protocols tend to change as time goes by and rather than listing them here, we compiled a list of website links for some of the destinations we serve. Make sure that you consult these sites before you travel to your destination as they would have the most current information.

We are looking forward to having you on board with us again very soon!

We know it has been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we wanted to be sensitive to all that is going on in the world right now. Our company is fortunate to be well-diversified and flexible and, although we are still in operation, we do need to wait for the Caribbean islands to open up again to tourists and visitors. 

With everyone’s travel plans currently on hold, we are inspired by many of the Caribbean islands, resorts, hotels and yacht charter companies that are sharing on social media.  It is uplifting for one’s spirit to plan ahead and we would like to share a few with you to keep your travel dreams within reach.

There certainly are so many stunning places to visit in the Caribbean and many of these islands are destinations that we fly to. Just a few places to consider for your next vacation!

Stop by a barbecue buffet for lunch, and splurge on grilled lobster for dinner. Dominica 2020 will see 3 new luxury resorts opening.
