FLOTILLA 2008
IN THE CARIBBEAN
JOST VAN DYKE-VIRGIN GORDA-TORTOLA-BITTER END-AND MORE
ASA CERTIFICATION AVAILABLE

Our plans are now being made for the BVI Flotilla, 2008. We will fly to the BVI on Friday April 4, 2007 for an afternoon/evening boarding and will start sailing on Saturday April 5. The trip will terminate at 9AM Saturday April 12, 2007. The options will include a flotilla sail, an instructional package and the most enjoyable sailboat ride of your life. THE CHOICE IS YOUR'S!! The flotilla concept offers you, your own sailboat with you as captain. Your sail will be in coordination with the lead boat, which will be captained by our ASA Instructor of the Year Steve Dinklage; The Bareboaters will be supervised by another of our Instructors Dave Steward. If you want to sail your own boat, this is a great way for a novice bareboater to gain the benefit of our captain's local knowledge while maintaining control of your own boat. (ASA Bareboat Chartering or comparable experience is mandatory if you are planning on sailing your own boat. All bookings must be made through our office to take advantage of this option)  The cost of this option depends on the boat you choose.

For those who desire one or more of the ASA certifications and or additional instruction, you can join us on the lead boat. Here you can upgrade your ASA Log Book to Basic Coastal Cruising or Bareboat Chartering or just come along and enjoy the comfort of an on board captain, along with the camaraderie of the rest of the crew. The cost for this option is $2,990 per couple based on double occupancy. A single berth (shared) is available at $1,495 per person. ASA Certification requires an additional cost of $125 per course. Textbooks not included. The trip will include Cruising Tax, Split Provisioning, Boat Insurance and seven days in the V.I. on a 50' Benateau sloop . 

ASA Certification for Basic Coastal Cruising and Bareboat Chartering Certification are available. We suggest you make your air reservations using Orbitz.com or you can use your AIRLINE "miles".  Most of us will be departing from Newark Airport on Friday April 13. We suggest you fly into Tortola (EIS) or St Thomas (STT). If you go to STT, there is a ferry which will take you to Tortola. (Note the last ferry leaves at 4PM so schedule your STT arrival accordingly.)  E-mail us to receive further information or call Suzanne at 1- (800) 638-0426 for further details.
