Crew Wanted: Sailing Charter, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, January 14 - 30, 2024

[Ed Scott]

We are offering two eight-day bareboat sailing charters:

• January 14 – 22, 2024

• January 22 – 30, 2024

• You may also join us for the entire sixteen days.

We will sail on a 53’ Dufour 530 - 4 cabin monohull out of Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The BVI are a kaleidoscope of aquamarine waters, sun-soaked harbors, and white-sand beaches. Sail, swim, snorkel, scuba dive, visit the Baths (gigantic rocks) and more. Sailing experience is desirable, but not necessary.

The cost of the boat will range from ~$1,300 - $1,800 pp, depending on the number of crewmembers. We endeavor to keep these sailing adventures as economical as possible, although this trip is during high season.

This venture is based on organizing a crew, sharing daily expenses equally and sailing together on a friendship basis. We are not a business, there is no mark-up. If you would like to join us, or if you have any questions, please email us and we will send an outline with full particulars.

It is necessary to book months in advance to insure availability of a boat, especially during high season. If you are interested in joining us, it is wise to respond promptly. It’s first come, first served.

Fair winds,

Hi Ed,

I am interested in this charter trip.
can you please provide more info in regards to sailing plan. Is it only Tortola or will you be adventuring into other BVI or USVI islands.
Is the approximate cost for the each of the 8 day periods?


I am a healthy 59 year old male who have some sailing experience as a crew.

Thanks..Mo

Hi Mo,

Thanks for your interest. I need your email address to send you the particulars. Send to edthompson [at] aynrand.bz.

We generally hit most of the BVI islands--we go wherever the crewmembers decide, e.g., Norman, Jost Van Dyke, Anagada, Virgin Gorda. Usually, it's breakfast and lunch aboard, then pick up a mooring and dinghy ashore for dinner. Then on to the next site. Snorkeling as you wish and even Scuba can be arranged. And, yes, the estimated cost is per eight day period.

Fair winds,
Ed

I am a fit and healthy 58 year old woman who has just bought her first sailboat a tartan 34 and have just got back into racing.

Lived around the world for most of my life. Super easy going and happy to do anything.

First time in BVI looking to do some sailing, make new friends and memories.

Thanks. Jill
