Hurricane weather is thankfully quite rare down here and pretty predictable once it does materialize. At 174 mph flight speed, the Aeroscraft should be be able to steer well clear of any approaching storms. With its ballast management system, it's actually heavier than air when not in flight and could be made reasonably secure in less severe weather. It has amphibious landing capability too, and without the need for dedicated airfields, it would be great for Caribbean (or anywhere, really) cruising. Did you see that observation deck?

Hmmm - I was thinking I could keep the missile tubes active, but disguised as shower stalls and elevators for the in-law suites.
A few years ago, someone actually did bring down an old Russian sub converted for underwater sightseeing tours. Unfortunately he couldn't keep the business afloat and after he went under, the sub was sold to another company in Martinique.
