As we're currently working on establishing methods to reduce our carbon footprint through assisting nature conservancy organizations, STAR Island is an excellent added benefit to our conservation efforts. -Tropic Ocean Airways, CEO, Rob Ceravolo

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (PRWEB) May 09, 2017 -- STAR (Sustainable Terrain And Resources) Island, a 35-acre cay located off the northern coast of Eleuthera, Bahamas, is using off-grid technology to produce its own clean solar power, drinking water and organic food, while showcasing the latest green architecture to its guests. Tropic Ocean Airways is now the resort's exclusive airline partner and the optimal option for travel to the resort's remote location. Up to 8 guests will have the opportunity to charter a factory new Cessna Grand Caravan seaplane directly to STAR Island from multiple locations throughout South Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and West Palm Beach. The airline’s fleet of late model seaplanes are the most fuel efficient models to date.

Local Bahamian families joined by nearby homeowners, surrounding businesses and government officials attended STAR Islands' grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony. The self-sustained theme was reiterated with a toast exchange of the islands' own fresh water supply. Food and drink was served as guests arrived by boat and seaplane. During the event, the resorts' owner, David Sklar, shared his vision on the islands' progress and future plans by explaining, “development priorities will include showcasing the latest clean technologies, sustainable products and green building types, all while being able to scale and replicate it. The island will be a blueprint for the future, reducing the learning curve for others in the fight against climate change.”

The strategic partnership serves as a complement to the airlines new initiative to launch a program that will help reduce its carbon footprint. Tropic Ocean Airways, CEO Rob Ceravolo, expressed his view on the new partnership stating, “as we're currently working on establishing methods to reduce our carbon footprint through assisting nature conservancy organizations, STAR Island is an excellent added benefit to our conservation efforts.” Tropic Oceans' history of involvement in the community and environment improvement efforts, includes but is not limited to, donations to the Bimini Shark Lab, hurricane relief efforts in The Bahamas, and continuous support and sponsorship of local charity events that benefit research and development of marine ecosystems.

At this time guests to the island will be able to begin their trip with a low-elevation sightseeing tour of the island and a water landing at the resort. The first working prototype on the island, The Beach Bar and Grill, is already open and offering visitors lunch made from local ingredients right from the garden. From there, they will be able to choose from activities such as bone fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling. Guests can also book the island for weddings, family gatherings or corporate outings.STAR Island’s first overnight stay unit called “The Nest” will be open to guests by the end of May 2017. The room is above The Beach Bar and Grill and includes two balconies so guests can have multiple viewing areas of the island.
