I saw an add for this BVI sailing group 2 years ago, and my wife and I decided to check it out. Long story, short. .. we decided to purchase the January share that was available at the time and we're very happy with it. Although an older boat, it is pretty well maintained. We had never .sailed in the BVI prior to this and we really love it. For us, this is a great deal. If you're looking for the luxury charter boat, this may not be for you. But if you want to enjoy sailing on a comfortable older boat and sail anywhere in the BVI (or over to the USVI and back if you want to) then you may like this arrangement as much as we do.

Barry, Thanks for the testimonial! People are naturally skeptical when reading listings such as ours and the experience of someone who has actually taken the plunge goes a long way towards removing some of those doubts. George
