My wife and I are planning to vacation in the Carribean this Spring
and would like to do so onboard a sailboat. Our thoughts are to
find a crewed vessel that will sail island to island. Also, looking
to find a resort hotel at the end for a day or so. Has anyone out
there done this? What would you recommend? What is the nominal cost?
Also, I was reading the August Sailing magazine and "the Moorings"
had an ad that looked pretty close to what we are looking for. Has
anyone had any experience with this group?

Lots of information is available in 397.* | |||||
| 1379.2 | Many notes on the topic | STAR::KENNEY | Wed Oct 25 1989 11:55 | 14 | |
To expaned on .1 check out notes 178, 397, 689, 905, 917, 1038. Of
These 397 probably has the most information. Do you know where in the
carribean, when, and about how much you want to spend.
Your options vary widely. For the sailing part you have several
options bareboat you do all the work, fully crewed most money least
work, also some companies offer a day time skipper only. In this case
the skipper shows up in the morning and off you go. The skipper leaves
the boat in the evening and you are alone.

| 1379.3 | Check a charter broker | ICHI::MCBRIDE | Fri Oct 27 1989 10:24 | 9 | |
Call a charter broker, they can help you with crewed yacht selection.
It is going to be expen$ive though from what I have seen. The land/sea
vacations are fairly popular and several outfits offer packages. The
Bitter End, Moorings (Club Mariner) are two that come to mind. For
bareboat information, 397.* is the place to be.
