Costs
Estimate: $1400 per person (a little higher than normal LIG sails: prime season for sailing)
This cost is estimated based on the expected number of people who sign up, the cost of the boat hat we have reserved, split provisioning (the food on board), beverages, bar and a small buffer. Some items are estimates, and are based on previous cruises.
Any trip payment not spent will be refunded after we get back from the trip.
The deposit of $400 per person is non refundable if you decide not to go, and another person cannot be found to take your place. Full payment will be due on October 15th.
Assumptions for boat and provisioning estimate:
Late December sail for 8 days and 8 nights.
An extra pre-sail night is included - Friday on board the boats.
(included in above estimate, saving hotel costs and affording an early Sat start)
Full provisioning on boat $28/day/person
Beverage allowance of $200 per person
Not Included
This estimate does not include airfare, souvenirs, extra nights lodging or other touring on the islands.
