Peter Holmberg´s rise to prominence in the sport of sailing had its roots in the business world where he acquired a reputation for fair play, a taste for challenging projects that defied the odds, and a wealth of experience – in real estate, the marine industry, event management, and marketing – that position him as a valuable resource in today’s marketplace.

Regattas & Marine Events

Peter was a principal organizer of the Caribbean’s first Grade One international match race, held in Charlotte Amalie Harbor in December 1997 and again in 1998 which previewed eight America’s Cup Challengers. Peter secured coverage of the event by ESPN on its ‘Road to the America’s Cup’ special which aired later that same month.  Holmberg´s team of organizers built stadium-style seating at sites overlooking the waterfront so spectators could view the action and catch the live ‘tack-by-tack’ commentary.

Marine Businesses

Peter’s life in the Caribbean and three America’s Cup campaigns has afforded him years of experience with Marine development and operations the world over.  From Auckland New Zealand where the Viaduct Basin was built to house the teams and create a new waterfront commercial district, to Valencia Spain where a 700 berth marina was built in record time to host the America’s Cup, Peter has witnessed first hand the creation of world class marine developments.

Resorts & Commercial Real Estate

Holmberg’s degree in Management, close personal ties within the Virgin Islands, and broad experience as principal owner of Holmberg Real Estate, position him as a valuable consultant to business leaders in the hotel-resort, travel-tourism, and hospitality industries.

Marketing and Promotion

Holmberg´s rugged good looks, ready smile, and mastery of all types of sailing – not to mention an Olympic silver medal and victory in the America’s Cup – make him a natural talent for advertising and public relations campaigns.  Holmberg has served as brand ambassador for TAG Heuer, spokesman for Antilles Insurance, appeared in Rolex promotions, and featured in national television commercials for Coors beer and the U.S. Virgin Islands Tourism Department.

An internationally-recognized sports celebrity with close ties to his multicultural island community, Peter continues to work tirelessly to refocus the world’s attention on the Caribbean region, its diverse people, and its resources.
