Hi Paul
We (my husband, 2
kids, a friend and myself) have sailed with the Seabbatical flotilla twice now. Once from USVI's to
St Martin on Runaway Cat and once from
Grenada to St. Lucia on Seabbatical. Both times we sailed with a
captain on board and both times there was 1 other
boat that sailed with us. Each time it was a
family with 2
kids, which was great for us. They stayed close to us for the first few days, then as they felt comfortable with their
boat and getting to know the systems they went off on their own and we would meet up on occasion. The
boats were always very clean and in good working order. The people who go on these seabbaticals are real sailors (or wannbes like us) who do more then just party and
motor from place to place. The
boats have everything on them that you could want, although not necessarily the same on each boat. Some have T.V. and
dvd player others have kayaks etc. All have great dingies and all
electronics including
radar. The owner is very accommodating.
Let me know if there is anything more specific you wanted to know about. We had amazing trips both times and have spent a total of 7 weeks discovering the islands.
