I'm a sailor in Orlando.  I get together groups of 6-8 and bareboat charter around the world at least once a year; it's simply the best vacation I've ever taken.  I have a list of friends and acquaintances who regularly go, but they can't make each trip.  I have room available for my next trip, and thought it was something your members might like to know about.  Please let me know if there's a message board that I can post this on or if you can help me with this by another method.  Here are the details:

November 23 to Dec 1, island-hopping in the British Virgin Islands.  We sail, kayak, hike, snorkel/dive and eat lobster from Tortola to Virgin Gorda to Anegada (a reef island).  From having done these for 10 years, I have a good idea of the costs involved and have found that it's easier to charge one upfront fee rather than for each fee along the way.  $800 per person covers 8 nights aboard a new Beneteau 473 and all operating costs (fuel, ice, water, docking and cruising fees, etc.), as well as food and drinks on board.  Anyone who goes can sail as much or as little as they want.  The air fare from TPA is currently $347 to St. Thomas, and Tortola is a $25 ferry ride.
