Hawkins Island company suspends operations

Bermuda Island Cruises, organisers of the popular Hawkins Island parties, has suspended operations effective Monday May 28 2007.

In a statement on their website, CEO Kyle Messick said, ‘For a period in excess of 4 decades The BIC Group of Companies has been a part of Bermuda’s Tourism Industry and been a witness to the sweeping waves of change that have transformed the industry from its base in the 1960’s. During that time, we have been privileged to work with a host of dedicated individuals and organizations, and wish to thank each and every one of them for the hard work, dedication and loyalty they have demonstrated. It is with profound regret that we now leave the stage to them to continue that good work.’
