Is this vessel offered as "bareboat" charter?
Absolutely! Bareboat charter is available to qualified skippers who have experience handling this size catamaran. You'll need to fill out our online resume, provide verification of logged sailing experiences, and/or appropriate ASA certifications.
What is "Captain by Day"?
Because our Marsh Harbour base is situated centrally in the sailing grounds of the Sea of Abaco we can offer "Captain by Day". Our certified Captains will assist to safely navigate the vessel from anchorage to anchorage relieving you of the stress. Then once settled at your desired location with the anchor securely set, he/she will be picked up and come back the next day or when it's time to move to your next location. This program is very popular with our charterers and beneficial to most bareboat sailors who's qualifications are limited as it propels their experience levels without the worry and stress. Ask about our ASA sailing courses also available during your charter trip.
Can we hire a USCG captain to handle the vessel during our trip?
Absolutely! Hiring a USCG or Bahamian licensed captain will assure safe passage and allow you and your guests to relax and enjoy the experience. Ask about our "Captain by day" offered in the Bahamas so you and your guests can enjoy afternoons and evenings to yourself.
What is the minimum number of days required to charter this vessel?
We have a four (4) night, five (5) day minimum. Seven (7) night minimum during Holiday time slots.
