What People Are Saying
COWGIRL BEBOP PROJECT INFORMATION
Cowgirl Bebop, LLLP (“CGBB") is planning a floating lounge in Pillsbury Sound between Mingo Cay and Grass Cay. This floating lounge will be on a vessel which is secured by two moorings, each using a three-point mooring system. The vessel will be a 40’ x 110’ two-level-barge. The restaurant will be high-end, but not snobby or exclusive.
WHY COWGIRL BEBOP?
WATER-BASED
The USVI has a paucity of water-based attractions for term and day charters in the St. Thomas and St. John area.
COMPETITIVE
Historically, the USVI has ceded this type of water-based attraction to the BVI, with its long history of water-based tourism for term and day charters.
CONVENIENT
The BVI has raised its entry taxes and fees dramatically, opening the market for the USVI to keep its term and day charter business local.
- Restaurant serving lunch and afternoon snacks (primarily vegetarian featuring local fare)
- Full bar featuring local alcohol
- Use of eco-friendly materials such as biodegradable take-out containers
- Upper and lower level seating areas
- Shade on upper level provided by stretched fabric, allowing for open air feel and breeze
- Seating combination of tables for eating and daybeds for lounging
- Approximately eight additional mooring balls for guests’ boats

- Day and term charter destination in Pillsbury Sound will keep tourism in the USVI
