People on our snorkeling tours are always asking me if I know where Kenny Chesney's house is? Well St John is the smallest of the Virgin Islands, it's only 3 miles wide, so yes I know where he lives.
I don't think Kenny would appreciate me sending every fan on my tours up to his house. So I don't ever divulge this information. What I can do is point out the house while we sail by on our way to snorkel or visit the British Virgin Islands. It sits high up on a mountain with an incredible view of the islands. Have I been there? Sure. Am I friends with Kenny Chesney? Casual acquaintances would be more accurate.
More interesting than his private home, which no one should ever attempt to visit without an invitation, is Ivan's Stress Free Bar on Jost Van Dyke. We visit Ivan's on our sailing tours to the British Virgin Islands. The bar is full of Kenny mementos, pictures and even a brand new beer cooler that Chesney bought to replace Ivan's old, rusty one.
Kenny Chesney has been good to the US Virgin Islands, donating money to the local schools, sending thousands of tourists our way and even flying Ivan up to play in one of his concerts. Don't believe me? There's a giant picture of the event hanging at Ivan's along with many other pictures of Chesney if you look closely.
If your lucky Kenny might just pull up on his boat while you're there.
