Bernard ‘Bernie’ Evan-Wong grew up racing dinghies from Snipes, Sunfishes, GP 14 ‘s, and Lasers; in the Caribbean, and later at university in UK. He lived in Trinidad following university, working as a health professional, and took up racing on keel boats, later located to the island of Antigua, in the Eighties. Still a resident of Antigua, his passion for the sea
and everything related to it led him to pick up qualifications as a RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, a dive master, a marine moorings specialist, and an avid yacht racing enthusiast. Over the past 35 years he has owned a succession of race boats, regularly racing the Caribbean circuit. If you’ve sailed the Caribbean and done a race, you’ve probably met Bernie!
His rotating fleet of power and sailing boats has gained him a depth of experience with the specifics of ownership, maintenance and repair of vessels in the Caribbean. He can help you gain a greater understanding of any aspect of boating in the Islands from ownership, management, stewardship to concerns structural , mechanical, electrical, rigging, finishing or any other aspect of yachts and yachting life in this region.
“Drawing on all the knowledge and experience he has gained over the years we are excited to support Bernie on our brokerage team, working to match potential buyers to suitable vessels based on their desires and needs. Sellers can have confidence that in working together with us the best strategy for positioning their boat for the best possible sale can be had. “ - Brian Duff, Managing Director at BVI Yacht Sales
