March 15th – Peter Island

 In 1978, an avid sailor purchased Peter Island after sailing past it several years before. He then established the world- class resort that exists today and lived on the island to ensure that every aspect of the resort was perfect and that the island’s beauty and serenity were preserved.  When you’re a guest of the Peter Island Marina, you’re a guest of the entire island. Which means you can shake off your sea legs at any of their beaches, pools, restaurants and bars or any of the incredible amenities available on Peter Island including the spa.  Dinner will be their Saturday night Seafood Gala Buffet with Live Entertainment. AYC has the entire marina reserved for our group. March 16th – Norman Island Lunch Stop
