Item 1. Security and Issuer


This Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Gulfstream International Group, Inc. (the “Issuer”).  The principal office of the Issuer is located at 3201 Griffin Road, 4th Floor, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312.


Item 2.  Identity and Background


This Schedule 13D is being filed by Sah-Vul Strategic Partners I, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the "Company"), which is a holding company for the Shares of the Issuer. The Company's principal office is located at 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 200, Delray Beach, Florida 33445.  


Schedule A, attached hereto, sets forth the names of the managers of the Company and their respective occupations and citizenship.


During the last five years, neither the Company nor, to the Company's best knowledge, each person listed on Schedule A, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and was not a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration


On September 8, 2010, the Company completed a $1,500,000 debt financing with the Issuer, effective as of August 31, 2010, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 27, 2010 between the Issuer and the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”).


Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued to the Company (i) a maximum $1,500,000 principal amount 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Note due August 31, 2011 (the “Note”), convertible into Shares at a conversion price of $0.70 per Share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth therein; and (ii) a Warrant to purchase 750,000 Shares at an exercise price of $0.70 per Share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth therein, for a period beginning on the date of issuance through August 31, 2015.


The Note accrues interest at eight percent per annum compounded monthly and can be prepaid in full at any time without penalty.  Under the terms of the Note, the Company made a cash advance to the Issuer of $500,000 on each of September 8, 2010 and September 10, 2010, and will make a cash advance of $500,000 to the Issuer on September 24, 2010, each from working capital.  The unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note can be converted beginning on September 8, 2010 into Shares. Assuming that (i) the Company makes the additional required advance of $500,000.00 on September 24, 2010 for a total principal amount outstanding of $1,500,000.00, (ii) the Issuer repays all interest under the Note with cash, (iii) the principal under the Note is not prepaid, and (iv) cash is issued in lieu of fractional shares, at maturity the Note would be convertible into 2,142,857 Shares.  The Warrant became exercisable on September 8, 2010 and is void after August 31, 2015.  


Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, beginning on September 8, 2010 and ending December 7, 2010, the Company has an option to purchase a second secured convertible promissory note for $1,000,000 (the "Additional Note") from the Issuer.  The terms and conditions of the Additional Note are substantially the same as those of the Note, and the principal of the Additional Note would be convertible into 1,428,571 Shares (assuming cash is issued in lieu of fractional shares and interest).


With the purchase of the Additional Note, the Company would also receive a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 500,000 Shares at a price of $0.70 per Share (the "Additional Warrant"), which warrant would expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance.  The exercise of the option is subject to certain conditions outside of the Company's control, including, that the Issuer does not prepay the Note, that the Issuer's representations and warranties are true and correct and that the Issuer obtains any necessary consents and approvals.


The description of the terms of the Note, Warrant, Purchase Agreement, Additional Note and Additional Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the documents filed herewith.
