Costs
Estimated between $1200 and $1700 (in US dollars). It actually came out to be $920 due to smart shopping for wine and chow.
The cost depends on which boats we are able to reserve, the size and age of the boats, and the number of committed crew. The final price is be firmed up when the actual boats are reserved and crew numbers declare their preferences for type of boat..
The estimate is includes boat rental, insurance, taxes, full provisioning for the 6 days and 7 nights, hotel items (linens/towels), bar tab and a little left for on-shore restaurants. Some items are estimates, and are based on previous cruises. It is desired that a small refund is due to crew members at the end of the trip.
It does not include hotel or travel costs off the boat, trinkets, souvenirs, nor any air fare.

| Beneteau 50.5
foot Sloop
(Upgraded reservations in December 2016)
|
The Beneteau Cyclades 50.4 is, compared to other 50 footers, a big boat. The
16-foot beam translates to a terrific amount of space—about twice the volume
of more traditional 50-footers. This space leads to a level of comfort
unsurpassed in its class. Five cabins make up the accommodations, with four
double cabins, each with its own head and shower in the corners, and a
single berth and head for crew/storage/workshop way forward, accessed though
a foredeck hatch.

Sunsail 43 4 foot Sloop (detailed info link) |
Built by Beneteau, this larger yacht offers plenty of room coupled with satisfying light wind sailing characteristics. On deck there are twin wheels that both aid the helmsman manoeuvring in tighter spots, while also ensuring good access to the swimming platform when at anchor. The modern fractional rig, with large main and smaller genoa, offers exceptional light wind performance to delight both seasoned sailors and the less experienced. This exceptionally spacious 43ft yacht offers 4 cabins, with two heads and showers, making it an ideal choice for a families or groups of friends

Crew Listist
The best situation is double occupancy given the two person staterooms. Reserve a berth by sending a $700 deposit. The deposit is refundable if someone would be willing to take your place.
As deposits are received, you receive higher priority, but for considerations of ensuring enough sailing talent is available for all boats. We are looking to get enough sailors for two sloops, but we will sail a one-boat trip if there are not enough takers for two.
