DAMAGE DEPOSIT:
One week before embarkation, the charter company requires a $1,000 damage deposit per cabin. This amount is fully refundable at the end of the trip, provided no damage has been done to the boat.

Please note: A minimum number of travelers is required for this trip to work. It is recommended that you do not purchase your flights until we have reached our minimum group number. If this trip is canceled due to a lack of participants, all funds will be refunded. 

TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Guests are required to have travel insurance covering all dates of travel, meeting the minimum levels listed below, and covering:

• Trip Interruption: Cost of the trip (including air)
• Trip Delay: $150/day, $750 total per person
• Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation: $100,000 per person
• Medical Expense: $25,000 per person

It is recommended that you purchase travel insurance within 14 days of your initial trip deposit, to take advantage of any pre-existing conditions waivers and the option to upgrade your insurance to a “Cancel For Any Reason” policy.  We can assist you in purchasing travel insurance, or you can purchase your own here. While we have our preferred travel insurance providers we have been working with for years, you are welcome to purchase travel insurance through whichever insurance company you prefer.

We’ve chosen a sailing catamaran because it’s a much more sustainable way to explore — powered by the wind, not just fuel. Plus, living aboard for a week naturally encourages mindful use of water and power, reminding us how simple and connected life at sea can be.

June and July are actually one of the best times to visit the Bahamas — the islands are quieter, the water is warm and crystal clear, and hurricane season hasn’t really ramped up yet. Yes, it’s warm, but that just means we’ll be spending plenty of time where we want to be anyway — in the water!

💡 Pro Tip:
Soft-sided luggage or duffel bags are best — hard suitcases are difficult to store on boats. Also, due to the limited space, it is important to pack as light as possible. 

Yes! We’ll have opportunities to practice yoga on deck or even on stand-up paddleboards. If you’ve never tried SUP yoga before, it’s super fun — and the worst that can happen is you end up in the water!

Yes, if you are certified and interested in scuba diving, we can make this happen. We've done some of our best scuba diving in the Bahamas!

For those who are not into scuba diving, the snorkeling in the Bahamas is also exceptional.
