Horizon Yacht Charters Offers Immaculate Yachts, First Class Service and Great Value!

June 12th, 2019

When it comes to sailing in the BVI, Horizon Yacht Charters delivers immaculate yachts and first-class service, yet still offers great value for money. At Horizon Yacht Charters, they are totally committed...

To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.

The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.

I want to thank everyone for your help and support.

Horizon's Boat Briefings

After physics - jeanneau sun odyssey 490.

This state-of-the-art Jeanneau 490 has a sleek and beautiful metallic blue-grey hull with white cove and double boot stripes, white decks, and a light bright oak interior. Ample hatches, ports, and deadlights for a clean airy modern interior.  The Jeanneau 490 sleeps 6 in three cabins with two heads with 2 additional berths if the dinette is converted.

Arctic Fantasy II - Lagoon 42

The open-plan saloon and cockpit on the Lagoon 42 have a bulkhead helm position on the port side. A beam of just over 25ft and a true LOA of 42ft make her feel very spacious and uncluttered indeed, both above and below decks. Flush deck hatches and handholds in the coach roof make moving around her wide decks easy and safe. The cockpit has a large table, and seating for all the crew and their friends, with a cockpit fridge to keep the drinks cold.

Air Guitar - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 3 cabin/ 2 head layout will appeal to groups of 4 – 6 people, looking to sail in spacious luxury.

The  “walk-around” side deck slopes gently down towards the helm station on each side – so no more clambering over thwarts and coamings to get from the cockpit to the side deck.

With both coamings hinged, you can fold them out to make daybeds on either side.

The wide split backstay, twin wheels, and extra-large swim platform offer easy boarding and clear access to the companionway.

You can be under full sail thanks to the roller furling mainsail and genoa, within a minute of dropping the mooring.

The forward master cabin, with en-suite head and shower.  In this three-cabin, two-head version, there are double berths to port and starboard aft, with the starboard aft en-suite head and shower also accessible from the saloon for use by the port aft cabin guests.

As You Wish - Lagoon 46

The Lagoon 46 catamaran is the successor to the world’s most successful catamaran design, the Lagoon 450 (over 900 built). With improved living space and sailing performance, you know you will be chartering a fabulous cat.

There are 4 cabins, all with en-suite electric heads and showers. Berths are large doubles in all cabins.  There are two single berths in the bows, accessed from the deck.

Life aboard is accessed from wide-open transoms with just two shallow steps up into the cockpit.  In the cockpit, there is a sink, front-loading fridge, and plenty of storage on the starboard side. To port, there is an extensive countertop with a built-in icebox.

Fully air-conditioned, with a generator, extensive fridge, and freezer space – this cat is designed for easy living.

With electric winches where needed, autopilot, and the latest B&G navigation equipment, she can be sailed comfortably short-handed.

Blue Water Nomad - Nautitech Fly 46

Full coverage bimini for the helm station and bridge deck, with seating for 12 comfortably.

In the hulls, there are 4 electric heads with amply sized showers, 4 double cabins, plus 2 singles in the bows, accessed from the deck or the forward cabins.

The Fly 46 has proven immensely popular in charter in the Caribbean, due to its immense outdoor living space. The “open” concept where sliding doors between the cockpit lounge and saloon merge both of them into one ample living space.

Brown Eyed Girl - Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42

The Astréa 42 is distinguished by its abundance of natural light, energetic lines, elegant living spaces and unparalleled comfort while delivering sheer pleasure underway. A joy to share as a couple or with family and friends.

The Astréa 42 was conceived and designed to facilitate free-flowing movement throughout the boat, as well as linking the helm station with the outdoor relaxation and living spaces from coachroof to cockpit.

The coachroof features a double seat at the helm station and a built-in sun lounger for enjoying idyllic days together.

Cadenza - Nautitech Fly 46

There are 4 electric heads in the hulls with amply sized showers, 4 double cabins, plus 2 singles in the bows, accessed from the deck or the forward cabins.

The Fly 46 has proven immensely popular in charter in the Caribbean, due to her immense outdoor living space; the “open” concept where sliding doors between the cockpit lounge and saloon merge both of them into one large living space.

Calypso Express - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 is a modern and innovative yacht with twin wheels, walk-around deck access, a spacious cockpit with a drop-down swim platform. She comes with a furling main and jib that can both be set in under a minute, three double cabins and two heads and showers.

This clever 3-cabin layout of this boat allows room for double beds in all the cabins, including the forward master cabin and two double berth aft cabins. The head has a shower unit separated with a clear Perspex door from the head.

The saloon has an impressive 6ft 3in of headroom and includes a folding table with plenty of seating.

Casbah III - Lagoon 42

The Lagoon 42 catamaran won the best “boat of the year” awards from both Cruising World and Sail magazine in 2017.

With 3 double cabins, there is an open-plan saloon and cockpit with a bulkhead helm position on the port side of this Lagoon 42 catamaran. The cockpit has a large table, and seating for all the crew and their friends, with a cockpit fridge to keep the drinks cold.

The interior is Italian-designed and luxurious. It boasts a superb galley and lounge area with a dining table.

Cloudwalker - Lagoon 40

The Lagoon 40 catamaran is a great yacht for cruising the BVI. She offers an excellent balance between living space and sailing performance. The cockpit has a large table, and seating for all the crew and their friends, with a cockpit fridge to keep the drinks cold. An ergonomic helm station is accessible from the cockpit or deck, enabling communication between the skipper and crew at all times.

Large wide transoms allow simple access to the tender and safe, easy boarding. A forward cockpit, fitted with a sunbathing area, provides further living space.

This is a 3-cabin /2-head model, with the addition of a convertible saloon to a double berth and a single berth in the port bow. The port hull is dedicated to a spacious and luxurious en-suite owner’s cabin. A new aft cabin design incorporates a “semi Island” double berth. There is another double starboard forward and a large head and shower amidships on the starboard side

Cosette II - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490

The side deck slopes down towards the helm station on each side. So you simply walk around the helm. The other evolutionary design is that the cockpit coamings are hinged, and folded down to make flat lounging day beds whenever you want.

With 4 double cabins and a skippers cabin, all with en suite heads and showers, this is a fabulous boat for larger groups.

Combined with her powerful hull, twin helms, rudders, roller furling mainsail, and genoa, the 490 is easily sailed short-handed. Centralized winches, all control lines led aft, and a full array of electronics, make sailing short-handed or fully crewed, fun, simple, and stress-free. She even has electric winches for the genoa and an electric winch that will run the main outhaul and mainsheet.

The Sun Odyssey 490 won ‘best-imported boat of the year’ in Cruising World Magazine in 2019

Detour - Fountaine Pajot Elba 45

The elegant Elba 45 replaces the very successful Helia 44 and has a more ergonomically designed helm station to improve handling, and better hydrodynamics improving sailing performance. The Elba 45 boasts incredible interior living space, an extensive cockpit opening onto an innovative saloon, together with the largest saloon space in her category.

The four double cabins are bathed in light and offer a quiet, comfortable retreat in which to relax, with en-suite heads and showers. The Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 ‘Detour’ is enhanced with incredibly generous spaces to relax, on the foredeck, lounge deck, and in the cockpit, not to mention the Beach Club electric platform aft.

Duality - Nautitech Open 44

The Nautitech 44 Open continues to build on the successful ‘Open’ concept whilst delivering a ‘wide grin’ sailing performance. The 44 Open is probably the fastest cruising catamaran available for a bareboat charter. The Open 44 remains stable, comfortable, and downright fun to sail on and off the wind.

With the double aft helm station positions, you have an unobstructed view of the sails and the sea and you can communicate and enjoy the sailing with all the crew members in the cockpit.

The cockpit flows seamlessly into the saloon giving you the ideal indoor/outdoor living space for a yacht in the tropics. With an almost 360-degree view from the entrance of the saloon, you can happily escape inclement weather or socialize at the cockpit table whilst still being able to keep an eye on your surroundings.

There is excellent fridge capacity aboard with a double-drawer fridge, cockpit fridge and a freezer unit.

The owner’s cabin, located in the port hull, is light and spacious with portlights along the length of the cabin. The starboard hull features 2 cabins.

Easy Skanking - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410

With its sleek, modern, and racy-looking lines and a hard chine running the full length along the hull and a deck with reverse sheer the Jeanneau design is unmatched for living space and sailing feel in its class. The uniquely designed walk-round deck with gently sloping side decks makes climbing in and out of the cockpit a thing of the past!

Twin wheels with a double rudder configuration make boarding from the swim platform, from land or from the warm Caribbean sea, a breeze!

With centralized winches, which can be controlled directly from the cockpit, sailing short-handed is simple and stress-free.

This 2 cabin layout of this boat allows room for double beds in all the cabins. Both the forward and aft cabins offer a large amount of storage space. The forward cabin has an en-suite head and the aft cabin head is accessed from the saloon area.  Each cabin has shelves around the bed for storage and a closet with hanging space. The head has a shower unit separated with a clear Perspex door from the head.

Echo - Lagoon 50

The large, open-plan, aft cockpit of the Lagoon 50 catamaran features an L-shaped lounge area that is very comfortable for general leisure and provides uninterrupted views of the ocean beyond.

The Lagoon 50 is a dream to sail. Shorthanded crews will benefit from the large  self-tacking headsail  and  a short and easy-to-reef boom .  There is a spacious helm station with a centre steering wheel to ensure the best possible visibility on the raised flybridge. A large sundeck is positioned just behind the wheel to allow the helmsman to drive, whilst enjoying the company of a partner or guests relaxing nearby.

The well-equipped galley is positioned aft and looks onto the elevated saloon area for a fabulous open-plan living space.

There are four sumptuous double cabins and an additional two compact doubles amidships. Each cabin has its own head and shower. There is a skipper’s cabin in the port bow and a head and shower in the starboard bow.

Hakuna Matata IV - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 490

This Jeanneau 490 charter yacht is a sleek modern cruising yacht with a custom dark grey painted hull and red boot stripe so you are sure to stand out on the water. This vessel was named Cruising World’s 2019 Import Boat of the Year.

An extra-large swim platform offers easy boarding and with twin helms, there is clear access through the cockpit to the companionway. The large stateroom is forward with an island queen double with a separate large shower with sink to starboard and a head with sink to port. There is two more well-appointed queen-sized double cabins aft. There is also a second head and shower aft.

Island Tonic - Lagoon 46 (2024)

Seaworthiness and performance are keywords on the Lagoon 46 catamaran.  With its double access, the Flybridge is dedicated both to manoeuvring and relaxing. The centred helm station offers protection and visibility.

The Lagoon 46 catamaran combines modular cockpits front and aft with a complete cooking area at the back. There is also practical and safe access to the sea.

The interior embraces a refined, elegant and functional style. The owner suite is generous and equipped with an island bed for optimal comfort.

The other cabins also adopt impressive volumes, in particular the front cabin where the bed is now as comfortable and spacious as the aft cabins.

Jitterbug - Bavaria 37

The British “Sailing Today’ magazine gave the Bavaria cruiser 37 a 4/5 for sailing performance.

With a fully battened mainsail and 106% genoa, this Bavaria 37 is super fast to tack, and easily sailed short-handed due to the single line reefing system led back to the cockpit.

She carries her beam well aft enabling this 37 footer to have the cockpit of a 40 footer and twin helm positions. This provides for excellent visibility when helming on either tack and also gives a clear walkway through to the transom.

There are 2 cabins, a forward V-Berth. The aft cabin has a large bed with a clever design that tucks behind the engine compartment for extra room.

Luna - Nautitech Fly 46

Luna is the new ‘Mark 2” re-imagined version of the Nautitech Fly 46 catamaran designed by Marc Lombard, one of the most successful yacht designers in France.

The Fly 46 has proven immensely popular in charter in the Caribbean, due to her immense outdoor living space; the “open” concept where sliding doors between the cockpit lounge and saloon merge both of them into one large living space remains unchanged, as does the best in class Flybridge, where 10 can sit comfortably, with a table and cooler drawer for drinks under the helm seat. Her performance also remains best in class with an easily managed furling mainsail and furling, self-tacking jib, all controls are led to the helm position, with touch button electric winches.

Maverick - Bavaria 34

The 2017 model Bavaria 34, designed by Farr Yacht design, is a capable family cruiser available from Horizon in the British Virgin Islands. Built in Germany to a high standard, the 34 has a roller furling main and genoa, with all control lines easily to hand in the cockpit.

Minx - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 is the perfect blend of performance, comfort and safety at sea. She is a comfortable cruiser, perfect for couples or young families. Her roller mainsail and jib enable you to set full sail in under a minute.

The wide drop down transom/swim platform offers easy boarding and the extra outside living space this platform adds at anchor is impressive.

The 3 cabins and 1 head layout have a forward V-berth master cabin and two double berth aft cabins.

There is an impressive 6ft 3in of headroom in the saloon and it includes a folding table with plenty of seating.

New Beginnings - Bavaria Cruiser 37

The British ‘Sailing Today’ magazine gave the Cruiser 37 a 4/5 for sailing performance. The 37 is quick, responsive, well balanced, and you only think about rolling some sail away above 18 – 20 knots.

With a roller furling mainsail and 106% genoa, this Bavaria cruiser 37 goes from bare poles to full sail in under a minute, she is super fast to tack. Like the other Farr designs in the Bavaria lineup she has twin helm positions. This provides for excellent visibility when helming on either tack and also gives a clear walkway through to the transom.

Off The Clock - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349

Our Sun Odyssey 349  is a comfortable cruiser, perfect for couples and young families.

The Sun Odyssey 349 captivates with her pure lines, generous interior volume, and spacious cockpit with walk-through access to the swim platform between her twin-wheel configuration. The winged shoal keel ensures excellent performance and lift, and peace of mind mooring in Anegada! Twin rudders give fabulous tracking and ‘feedback’, making her a real joy to helm.

With three cabins, a spacious saloon, and a very functional galley, the Jeanneau Sun Odysssey 349 is perfect for a week or two aboard.

Patches - Bavaria Cruiser 41

Patches is the 2 cabin / 2 head version.

Twin wheel steering provides clear visibility on all points of sail and when anchoring or docking. There is easy access between the wheels to the giant swim platform – whether to take a dip or to board the dinghy. There is seating for six at the cockpit table.

Below deck, the Bavaria Cruiser 41 is all about luxurious comfort and generous amounts of space. Her abundant hatches and the large coachroof windows, allow generous amounts of light and ventilation into the interior, making the living quarters even more comfortable. The two double cabins, together with two ensuite heads and showers, ensure comparable facilities for the whole crew.

Paradise Found - Jeanneau 54

This Jeanneau 54 is a stunning, 54-foot flagship of the Jeanneau range. This beautiful, spacious, air-conditioned yacht offers all the extras and amenities that one would expect of a quality luxury yacht.

This design, by Philippe Briand, is easily sailed short-handed with roller mainsail and genoa.  She has twin helms affording great visibility forward under sail, the furling main and electric winches throughout allow for single-handed management of the sails. The bow thruster and state-of-the-art steering enable this 54-footer to be handled as if she were a yacht half her size, and a convenient walk-through access to the transom when at anchor.

The flexible sleeping arrangement provides the ability to sleep 8 in 3 double cabins and a skipper’s cabin.

The look and feel of an elegant lounge in the salon combine with a spaciousness that cannot be found on other yachts of comparable sizes. Guests have the option of dining inside or al fresco around the large table in the cockpit. There is also convenient walk-through access to the transom when at anchor.

Pegasus - Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42

The Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 was conceived and designed to facilitate free-flowing movement throughout the boat, as well as linking the helm station with the interior and exterior living spaces whilst underway or at anchor.

The coach roof features a double seat at the helm station and a built-in sun lounger for enjoying idyllic days together. An electric winch makes hoisting the fathead main a piece of cake.

Her saloon and  galley transitions seamlessly with the cockpit courtesy of a large sliding door.

This Astrea has the owner’s layout, with a stateroom and en-suite head and shower occupying the entire starboard hull. There are two double cabins with en-suites on the port side.

Pizza My Heart

This new 40-foot sailing catamaran perfectly embodies the innovative design of Fountaine Pajot. The cockpit has plenty of seating whether you’re looking for a space to relax in or comfortable dining. The doors and windows to the saloon open completely, ideal for indoor/outdoor living.

The saloon is bright, spacious, the galley can accommodate 2 people at a time.

The starboard hull is dedicated to the owner’s cabin. The large island double bed sits aft.  Starboard forward expands into a fantastic walk-in shower.

The port hull fits 2 cabins and a shared head.

Rendezvous - Lagoon 42

The 2019 Lagoon 42 won the best “boat of the year” awards from both Cruising World and Sail magazine in 2017.

It has an open plan saloon and cockpit with a bulkhead helm position on the port side. The cockpit has a large table, and seating for all the crew and their friends, with a cockpit fridge to keep the drinks cold.

With a high aspect mainsail and larger self-tacking genoa, the Lagoon 42 is one of the strongest performers in the range.

The luxurious Italian-designed interior comes with a superb galley and lounge area with a dining table, plus a navigation station with a view that probably beats the view from your other desk.

Rhythm & Blues - Jenneau Sun Odyssey 440

This Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 is a 2 cabin/2 head layout that appeals to smaller groups looking to sail in spacious luxury.

The “walk-around” side deck slopes gently down towards the helm station on each side so that there is no more clambering over thwarts and coamings to get from the cockpit to the side deck.

The coamings are both hinged so you can fold them out to make daybeds on either side. In the case of the starboard pad, it can extend all the way to the cockpit table (with a filler cushion).

With the roller furling mainsail and genoa, you can be under full sail within a minute of dropping the mooring.

The forward master cabin, with en-suite head and shower, has double doors to access and when open. There is a generator onboard, air conditioning throughout and all the heads are electric.

Rope The Wind - Lagoon 46

The Lagoon 46 catamaran combines modular cockpits front and aft with a complete cooking area at the stern. There is also practical and safe access to the sea. With its double access, the Flybridge is dedicated both to manoeuvring and relaxing. The centred helm station offers protection and visibility.

With four cabins and four heads, the owner suite is generous and equipped with an island bed for optimal comfort.  The other cabins are also spacious, in particular the front cabin where the bed is now as comfortable and spacious as the aft cabins.

Seaworthiness and performance are keywords on the Lagoon 46 catamaran.

SempreVerde - Nautitech 44 Open

The Nautitech 44 Open is the latest design in the Nautitech lineup to get really excited about!

This new design builds on the successful Nautitech ‘Open’ concept and so delivers a ‘wide grin’ sailing performance. The 44 Open is probably the fastest cruising catamaran available for a bareboat charter.  The Open 44 remains stable, comfortable, and downright fun to sail on and off the wind.

You have an unobstructed view of the sails and the sea thanks to the double aft helm station positions; you can communicate and enjoy the sailing with all the crew members in the cockpit.

The cockpit flows seamlessly into the saloon giving you the ideal indoor/outdoor living space for a yacht in the tropics. The galley conjoins the saloon and cockpit, so matter where the crew are, the chef is part of the socialising.

Both hulls feature 2 cabins. The aft cabin has a queen-sized island bed and the forward cabin has a forward-facing double bed.

Soca Sleigh - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 380 (2C)

Both the forward and aft double cabins offer a large amount of shelving space, as well as a hanging closet. The forward cabin has an en-suite head and shower, while the aft cabin head and shower are accessed from the saloon.

The saloon has an impressive 6ft 3in of headroom and includes a folding table with plenty of seating. The seats are long enough to create single berths.  There is a dedicated aft-facing navigation station that uses the saloon settee as a seat.

Sunday Girl - Beneteau Oceans 51.1

Venturi i - jeanneau sun odyssey 349.

From the very first glance, the Jeanneau SO 349 captivates with her pure lines, generous interior volume, and spacious cockpit, with walk-through access to the swim platform between her twin-wheel configuration.  With two double cabins, a spacious saloon, which can accommodate two single berths and a very functional galley ( including 100 litres of refrigeration space), the Jeanneau 349 is perfect for a week or two aboard.

Designed by Marc Lombard, the 349 is the perfect combination of performance, comfort, and safety at sea. Whether in the cockpit or at the helm, at anchorage or at sea, you will enjoy taking full advantage of this easy-to-handle and rewarding to sail yacht.

Tola Sunrise - Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 410

With a truly inviting deck plan, sailing has never been so enjoyable aboard a 41-footer. With her powerful hull, twin helms, and rudders, the 410 perfects the art of sailing and comfort on board. Centralized winches, which can be controlled directly from the cockpit, make sailing short-handed simple and stress-free.

The side deck slopes down towards the helm station on each side so that there is no more clambering over thwarts and coamings to get to the side deck – you simply walk around the helm. The aft cabins are not compromised, as the 410 carries her beam well aft.

The design excels below decks as well. Instead of a V berth double forward, the double is offset, to give a Queen-sized double to starboard, with an en-suite head and shower on the port side. The two double berths aft share a head and shower which is on the starboard side of the saloon.

For sailors looking for a two double-cabin boat, please consider that the size of an aft cabin on this 3-cabin boat is the same as the 2-cabin version.

Horizon upgrades include a roller furling mainsail, a 3-burner stove, a generator, air conditioning, ambient lighting, and a full-coverage bimini with a dodger.

Wanderlust - Lagoon 42

With three double cabins, the Lagoon 42 catamaran has an open plan saloon and cockpit with a bulkhead helm position on the port side. The cockpit has a large table, and seating for all the crew and their friends, with a cockpit fridge to keep the drinks cold.

From the helm position, communication with people in the cockpit and on deck is easy. This Lagoon comes with additional cushions for the coach roof, so there are plenty of areas to relax, underway or at anchor.

The beautiful British Virgin Islands is called the “sailing capital” of the world for very good reason. With its protected turquoise waters, constant gentle trade winds and over 60 islands and cays to explore, the BVI are considered the best sailing destination in the Caribbean. The climate is subtropical and the temperatures vary little from summer to winter. The largest of the islands include Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and Anegada. All the islands are relatively close to each other, so it’s easy to get to your next anchorage and explore the white sand beaches and bays, or relax on your yacht, or go snorkeling or diving on some of the best wrecks and reefs in the Caribbean. The BVI is home to some of the finest luxury crewed yachts with dedicated, experienced and very knowledgeable crews.

Duga OTH Radars

Duga was a Soviet OTHR (Over The Horizon Radar) that was known for its constant tapping noise, and because of this was nicknamed “The Russian Woodpecker”.  This radar was part of a system that was used for early detection of missiles and was active from July 1976 until December 1989.

Since then, it has now been retired.  Over time, claims of it being used for mind control and weather experiments emerged.  Obviously this was never the case.  There are two Duga radars, one is located at Chornobyl and Chernihiv in Northern Ukraine the other one is in Khabarovsk Krai in Russian Far East.  The designations “Duga-1, Duga-2, and Duga-3” also never officially existed – these are names created by shortwave radio listeners.  It was most commonly referred to as Duga-3, but the third Duga object wasn’t even the radar that caused the noise.

The experimental Duga (coded designation 5H77) was built outside Mykolaiv in Ukraine, but this array has been demolished and is no longer there.

Duga-1 (Object Chernobyl-1) was built near two military towns and Chenobyl-1.  Liubech-1 was close to Pripyat and Chernihiv and begun regular transmissions in 1985, however it was forced to cease work after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant accident.

Duga-2 was restored around 2002 since it had sustained fire damage. Though it had ceased transmissions in 1989.  The Duga-1 radars had a much higher power output than the other the other 2, and was more noticeable than the others because of this.  Duga-2 did not cause the same nuisance to other shortwave stations.  The Duga-2 radar system was located near Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Khabarovsk Krai.  The transmitter site is located at 50°53′34.66″N 136°50′12.38″E and the receiver is at 50°23′07.98″N 137°19′41.87″E.

The CIA first became aware of Soviet plans to build the radar in 1970 and made photographic reconnaissance around the area. The declassified documents shows that CIA found “a standard FIX 24 HF/DF antenna” and support area of “at least ten buildings.”  Note that town of Pripyat was established in 1970 and on 1972 the Chernobyl Power Plant building had begun.  The CIA was also aware of first facility in Mykolaiv and made a detailed report in 1969,

Duga-3 and “The Russian Woodpecker”

Although there were three Duga type radars, the designation Duga-3 never existed.   This was incorrect information created out of rumors over time.  The Russian Woodpecker, the most known radar located in the Chernobyl area was actually Object Chernobyl aka Duga-1.

The woodpecker was known to use three different repetitive rates, 10 Hz, 16 Hz, and 20 Hz.  The 10 Hz rate was used more often than the other two.    The powerful transmitter enabled Duga to be heard from around the world.  So the “Woodpecker” sound created by it interfered with many other shortwave stations.  There were even some products created to counter this.

The Duga radar arrays are still standing, and are accessible to the public.

Terms and conditions, charter experts, llc terms & conditions.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (“ Terms ”) CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS A SECTION GOVERNING THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES. THESE TERMS ALSO CONTAIN A LEGALLY BINDING RELEASE, WAIVER OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By creating a username, a login, clicking submit, using the services of Charter Experts, LLC d/b/a Virgin Island Sailing® (“ Broker ) or by accessing Broker’s website, you agree that you have read, and acknowledge your acceptance of these Terms. The Terms are subject to change at any time without notice at Broker’s sole discretion. Additionally, any transaction for which you have made payment shall be governed by the form of Terms in effect at the time of such payment notwithstanding any subsequent changes hereto.

If you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring a Charter (as that term is defined in Section 1 below) for more than just yourself, all references below to “Charterer” or “you” (and derivations thereof) shall be read to mean you on behalf of yourself and each individual within your group for whom you are obtaining a quote, information, booking travel for and/or securing or procuring Charter.

These Terms shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer. To the extent they cannot be so construed, then in the event of any direct conflict between these Terms and any other agreement by or among Broker and Charterer (including but not limited to the agreement executed by Charterer for a Charter Reservation (as that term is defined in Section 1 below), these Terms shall prevail.

• Prepaid Charter Reservations . Typically, Broker negotiates charter rates in advance with the yacht owner or charter company (“ Charter Provider ”) to obtain cost-effective rates, and facilitate reservations and availability for yacht charters, excursions and travel (the “ Charter ”). Broker also provides services to you by facilitating the booking of reservations for consideration and receives a commission from the Charter Provider (the “ Broker Fee ”). The Broker Fee is included in the pre-negotiated Charter rate provided to you, plus taxes and other fees where applicable. You agree that your payment is for the total amount set forth in the applicable Charter agreement (which Charter Provider may refer to as a Charter Contract, Charter Agreement, Booking Terms & Conditions, Instructions and Terms for Accommodations, as well as other derivations) provided to you by Broker (“ Charter Agreement ”). Upon execution of the Charter Agreement and receipt of the applicable deposit, you will have made a reservation for the Charter that authorizes Broker to facilitate the Charter on your behalf (“Charter Reservation”), including making payment arrangements with the Charter Provider. You further agree that Broker is a third-party beneficiary to the Charter Agreement and shall have the right to enforce such agreement to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder or under the Charter Agreement.

  Broker retains the Broker Fee as compensation in arranging your Charter Reservation. The Broker Fee varies based on the amount and type of Charter and/or services provided by Broker.  By making a Charter Reservation, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the Charter Provider set forth in the Charter Agreement. Cancellation and no-show policies vary for each Charter. Carefully read the Charter Agreement and additional information provided to you by Broker. It is expressly agreed by Charterer that the Broker Fee is earned at the time the Charter Reservation is made. Late payment, wrong credit card or debit card details, invalid credit or debit cards, or insufficient funds are for your own risk and account, and you will not be entitled to any refund of any prepaid amount unless the Charter Provider expressly agrees otherwise under the Charter Agreement or in some other signed writing.

• Charter Rules and Restrictions . Additional terms and agreements will apply to your Charter Reservation and any purchase or rental of equipment or other items, supplies, provisions and travel you may select. Please read those additional terms carefully. In particular, if you have purchased airfare, please ensure that you read the full terms and conditions of carriage issued by the supplier. You agree to abide by the terms of purchase imposed by any supplier with whom you elect to deal, including but not limited to payment of all amounts when due and compliance with the supplier’s rules and restrictions regarding availability, charges, fares, and use of products and services.
• Payment . All payments must be made by personal check, bank/wire transfer, ACH payment and/or with a major credit card unless otherwise expressly stated. The total price for the Charter Reservation will be billed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. Some banks and credit card companies impose fees for international transactions. If you are making a reservation from outside of the United States on a US credit card, your bank may convert the payment amount to your local currency and charge you a conversion fee. This means the amount listed on your credit or bank card statement may be in your local currency and therefore a different figure than the amount provided by Broker for the Charter Reservation. In addition, a foreign transaction fee may be assessed if the financial institution that issued your credit card is located outside of the United States. Booking international travel may be considered to be an international transaction by the financial institution or card company. The currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your financial institution on the day that it processes the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your financial institution. Broker shall not be liable to you for any such service, conversion, or exchange fee.

  Broker expressly reserves the right to cancel your Charter Reservation if full payment is not timely received as set forth in the Charter Agreement.

• Cancellation and Rescheduling . You may cancel or change your Charter Reservation as set forth in the Charter Agreement by and among you, the Charter Provider and/or Broker. Please note that some Charter Providers do not permit changes to or cancellation of reservations after they are made, or after a certain date, as indicated in the Charter Agreement. You agree to abide by the terms of the Charter Agreement with respect to your Charter Reservation. Broker will not be responsible for reimbursing Charterer for any previously tendered deposits or payments by Charterer and disclaims all liability for the failure of a Charter Provider to refund or return any such funds.
• Credit Card Transactions and Chargebacks . If for any reason, any Charter Provider is unable to provide the Charter, or any part thereof, for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the Charter Provider, and not against Broker. However, Broker will use reasonable efforts to assist you and Charter Provider in reaching a resolution to a dispute between you and the Charter Provider. In the event that your payment has already been transferred from Broker to Charter Provider or to an escrow account, you agree that you will not seek a chargeback against Broker for such amounts transferred. You further agree to indemnify and hold Broker harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that Broker may incur in connection with chargebacks against Broker or under the Charter Agreement and your performance thereunder. If Broker incurs any costs, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, to recover any payments charged back by your credit card company or other financial institution, you agree that you will be liable for these costs. If your payment is declined for any reason, you agree to settle any amounts owed to Broker via money order, cashier’s check, personal check or bank/ACH transfer immediately.
• Broker Responsibility . Broker makes arrangements with the Charter Provider. Broker additionally makes additional arrangements with other suppliers for the various components and other services that comprise your Charter (“Charter Suppliers”). Broker is not an agent of these Charter Providers or the Charter Suppliers (and the Charter Providers and Charter Suppliers are not agents of Broker). Broker expressly disclaims any liability for the actions or omissions of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. The Charter Providers and the Charter Suppliers reserve the right to refuse service to you at their sole discretion. Broker assumes no liability for the acts of the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers in refusing service. Broker is not responsible for schedule changes and does not offer compensation for those changes. Broker is not responsible under any circumstances for any injury or damages you may suffer, in connection with sea, air or ground transportation, hotel accommodations, or other travel or excursion services arranged by Broker.

  You understand Broker is not the source or supplier of the Charter or other travel services you requested and acts solely as a broker for the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers. You agree that the Charter Provider and Charter Suppliers whose names appear in the information supplied to you are those who are solely responsible for providing the Charter you purchase. You consent to and request the use of the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers and agree to not hold Broker responsible should any of them: (i) fail to provide the Charter or travel services you purchased, whether or not such services are listed in the Charter Agreement or otherwise, (ii) fail to comply with any applicable law, or (iii) engage in any negligent act or omission that causes you any sort of injury, damage, delay or inconvenience.

By using Broker’s services, you waive and release any claim against Broker, its affiliated and subsidiary companies, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents, arising out of or in connection with any loss of or damage to property or injury to any person caused by reason of (i) any defect, negligence, or other wrongful act or omission, or any failure of performance of any kind, by any Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, or any other provider of sea, airline, hotel, ground transportation or any other travel provider connected to or otherwise associated with the Charter, (ii) any claim for inconvenience, loss of enjoyment, mental distress or other similar claim, (iii) any delayed departure, missed connection, substitute accommodation, termination of service or change in fares or rates, and (iv) overbooking, flight or other travel cancellation, lost or misconnected personal property, or any claim arising out of the air transportation portion of your travel, and (v) or any other claim arising out of or otherwise related to the Charter Agreement or services provided by the Charter Provider and the Charter Suppliers.

Excepting only liability that directly arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Broker, you will not hold Broker responsible for any injury, damage or loss you may suffer while on a Charter, whether incurred on the Charter or in connection with any other rental, purchase, excursion or activity, regardless of the relationship of any of the foregoing with the Charter Provider or the Charter Suppliers.

• Your Responsibility . By booking a Charter with Broker, you agree to defend and indemnify and hold harmless Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in connection with: (i) your breach of these Terms or the documents referenced herein; (ii) your violation of any law or rights of a third party; or (iii) your use of the Broker website.

You will review your Charter Agreement and travel documents for accuracy upon receipt. You understand that it is your responsibility to review the accuracy of all details in the Charter Reservation provided to you, and that you may contact Broker if you have any questions.

You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying any and all passport, visa, vaccination, or other entry requirements of your destination(s), and all conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destination(s).

You understand that Broker recommends purchasing travel insurance to cover certain risks inherent in travel such as supplier bankruptcy and the inability to travel due to a medical or personal emergency.

• No Warranties . All Charters, products, services, advice and information is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied to the fullest extent permitted under the law, including but not limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality or fitness for a particular purpose. Without limiting the above, no warranty or guarantee is made (i) regarding the acceptance of any reservation request or Charter Reservation; (ii) regarding the availability of Charters, or any other product and/or services through Broker; (iii) that the use of Broker’s website will be error-free; or (iv) regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability or quality of any information, content, data, service, advice or merchandise provided by Broker or through Broker’s website.

Broker has no special knowledge regarding the Charter Provider’s or Charter Supplier’s financial condition, unsafe conditions, health hazards, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel during or otherwise in connection with your Charter.

• Limitation on Liability . In no event shall Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Suppliers, and/or their respective affiliates, or any employees, agents, officers, directors, members or managers of any of the foregoing (“Broker and Charter Releasees”), be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of, or in any way connected with, your access to, display of or use the Broker’s website, the Charter or services provided to you in connection with the Charter (including, but not limited to, your reliance upon opinions of the Broker), whether based on a theory of negligence, contract, tort, strict liability, consumer protection statutes, or otherwise, and even if Broker and/or any other of the Broker and Charter Releasees have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

If, despite the limitation above, Broker or the Broker and Charter Releasees are found liable for any loss or damage which arises out of or in any way connected with any of the occurrences described above, then Broker, Charter Provider, Charter Supplier and the Broker and Charter Releasees will in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the greater of (a) the Broker Fee, and (b) One-Hundred Dollars (US $100.00).

The foregoing limitation of liability reflects the allocation of risk between the parties. The limitations specified in this section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. The limitations of liability provided in these Terms inure to the benefit of Broker and/or its providers.

The foregoing does not affect any liability which cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

• Limitation on Time to File Claims . ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF RELATING TO BROKER’S SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
• Waiver . No waiver by Broker of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Broker to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
• Severability . If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
• Governing Law and Mandatory Venue . The laws of the State of Florida govern the rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement and the interpretation, construction and enforceability thereof. You agree that any action or proceeding initiated by Charterer against Broker shall be brought solely in the federal and state courts of Hillsborough County, Florida, and you submit to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over you by those courts. In the event any action or proceeding is initiated by Charterer in a court outside of Hillsborough County, Florida, Charterer agrees to pay Broker’s costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with defending such action or proceeding and waives any and all defenses to the transfer of said action or proceeding, whether jurisdictional or otherwise, to a federal or state court in Hillsborough County, Florida.
