Nevis does have a deep-water pier which was recently constructed and provides modern berthing facilities to accommodate freight carriers and large and small private yachts and vessels. Nevis however does not have a deep water port for cruise ships or other mega size large vessels and such vessels or cruise ships who wish to visit must anchor offshore and ferry in on smaller vessels.

From Europe, service is provided by British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France and Iberia via stops in neighboring islands. There are regional scheduled airlines which operate on a daily basis from Nevis or St. Kitts and provide access to Puerto Rico, St. Martin, Anguilla, St. Thomas, and St. Croix, which serve as major gateways to Europe and North America.

Climate

The climate is nearly perfect and the variation in altitude and soil conditions creates a natural garden of tropical vegetation ranging from rain to near desert. The average air temperature is 79 degrees F (26o C) and humidity is 71.5% with extremes in temperature and humidity tempered by breezes from the north-east trade winds. The average sea temperature is 80 degrees F (27o C). The average rainfall is 55 inches (1,397 mm).

Geography

Volcanic with mountainous interiors. Lowest point: Caribbean Sea: 0 m. Highest point: Nevis Peak: 3,232 feet. Renowned for its beautiful mountain scenery, the island is dominated by Nevis Peak which rises in the center of the island and is invariably covered with clouds quite often. The island is encircled by miles of breath-taking palm-fringed beaches that are clear, calm and pristine and provide front row seats to spectacular sunsets. The interior of the island is graced with a lush tropical rain forest that compliments the beauty of the coastline and provides fabulous econ-tourism.

Government and Political Structure

Nevis is an independent parliamentary democracy. It is part of the federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, although it may elect to leave the federation by a two-thirds majority in a public referendum. Recently a referendum on secession was defeated. The Federation is an active member of the British Commonwealth. Nevis is a vigorous democracy based upon the British Parliamentary system with an elected local assembly.

Nevis is politically stable and has been declared by the Freedom Foundation in the United States to be one of the ten most free nations in the world.

From the 17th Century until 1967, Nevis along with its sister island were governed by England as part of the colony of the Leeward Islands, and later, the West Indies Federation. In 1967, St. Kitts and Nevis along with Anguilla became a governing state with Great Britain. In that same year, Anguilla seceded from the Federation.

In 1983, St. Kitts and Nevis achieved full political independence. Consequently, the Federation ceased being an Associated State and attained the status of a Sovereign and Democratic Federal State, which is an independent participant of the British Commonwealth. Under this sovereign status, Nevis has adopted the British Parliamentary System of government. It has its own unicameral legislature and government that has the authority to formulate its own economic decisions. The Federation also has its own representation at the United Nations.

Since attaining independence in 1983, the Federation has had a history of political stability based upon the Westminster model of government and continuity of national policy. The Federation has also been consistently adjudged to be among the world
