Caribbean Road/Ferry trip!

Hello Gang!
Back again and planning my next little trip. Ive landed myself a job at a beach bar in Tortola BVI and I'm thinking of buying a bike in the states and then riding and ferrying my way down via Cuba and Puerto Rico to Tortola. Does anyone have any wisdom ir advice they could share with me. Im British, but don't know if I can travel from USA to Cuba directly.
Look forward to your help
Dan

As a British citizen you can travel to and from Cuba in any manner which suits you. However....there's no ferry. Everything's fluid at the moment (this is a massive understatement), so check again as often as you can stomach.

There appears to be a ferry between Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and there's another between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. That's probably about it.

Of course, if you can find someone to transport your bike, you can probably find a way to do a temporary import almost anywhere you go. But the Caribbean is not well-supplied with ferries, and air travel between islands is pretty expensive.

Hope that's helpful.

Mark

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
