Patrick Bennett
With 20+ years of experience producing winning creative at top New York-based ad agencies, Patrick has earned a reputation for reinventing consumer brands. This, of course, fits hand in glove with Uncommon Caribbean's mission to refresh how people think about Caribbean travel. It's an ambitious task, but this born and bred Crucian has already managed similar feats for the likes of Samsung, Kraft, Six Flags, Verizon, and others; so we're feeling pretty good about having him in charge. Did we mention he's also got a passion for photography? Patrick may call Brooklyn home, but you're just as likely to find him traipsing across some distant, exotic land experiencing local cultures... Camera in hand.

Sailing the BVI’s Now
Sailing the BVI's has always an adventure, but perhaps even more so now. It makes every day more rewarding than ever. Every day more of an opportunity to support this special destination. And, of course, the best way to rediscover these islands is with a bareboat or skippered charter from our friends at Sunsail.
