The islands have a thriving sporting and social community and it is easy to make friends with so many like-minded individuals interested in water sports, socialising and their careers.
Salaries are uniformly high and with the favourable tax position, UK and US professionals are approximately 50% better off in real terms. Professionals from Canada, Australia and other commonwealth countries could find themselves earning three or four times their current salaries. Relocation expenses, temporary accommodation and transport are also included as standard in most packages.
