The 2026 edition of The Guide to the Virgin Islands is now being updated for the 2026 season.
The Virgin Islands
The 25th edition (2026) of the Cruising Guide to the Virgin Islands is currently being researched and updated by the author and will be printed and in full distribution by early November 2025, in time for the season. Advertisers in this edition will also be included in the new Cruising Guide App available in both Apple and Google formats free of charge with in-app subscription purchase. They will also be included in the dynamic map as points of interest (POI’s) with basic contact information and link to your site or FB Page.
Given the stated deadlines for both printing and shipping this year we are urging advertisers to act quickly in order to obtain the best positioning as we lay out this year’s book. Contract deadline is May 1st and material May 15th.
