Course Description:
Sailors have been exploring the Caribbean for centuries, and traveling by boat remains one of the best ways to experience the islands. Thousands of sailors bring their boats down to the Caribbean each year, but you can also get an authentic and exhilarating sailing experience by chartering a monohull or catamaran sailboat or motorboat and plotting your own course to adventure.
This course will provide you an overview of Caribbean sailing destinations, introduce you to the top chartering options in the region, and help you decide whether to captain your own ship as a bareboat charter or sail with a hired captain (and perhaps a chef, too) onboard.
Topics Include:
- Day sails vs multi-day charters
- Types of vessels to charter
- Top yacht harbors and marinas
- Planning an itinerary
- Provisioning your boat
- The economics of chartering vs hotel stays
- Top destination
- Virgin Islands
- Grenadines
- Bahamas
- Best ports of call in the Caribbean
- Secret and special moorings in the islands
