1.  I am concerned about getting seasick.

The BVI is good for first-time sailors.  Seasickness is more common in big bodies of water (the Pacific Ocean for example can be really tumultuous) and in open seas.  We are in sheltered waters -- sheltered from the ocean by the many nearby islands -- which block the larger swells.  There will be waves and wearing "the patch" (Scopolamine) will be a good insurance policy for those who are concerned.

2.  We want to have a romantic sail and we want some alone time.

Look at our page on honeymoons.  It outlines various ways we can provide a setting for romance.  You can have candlelight dinners, snorkel holding hands and looking at beautiful fish, use opportunities offered for time for just the "two" of you.  We may also leave you on the boat alone occasionally when we need to be on shore at the anchorage.

3.  We don't know who the other couple will be.

• There may NOT be another couple.  We may not sell the other cabin....... or you can rent the boat alone.
• Try approaching another friend or relative couple.
• But most importantly, people that are interested in sailing are usually adventurous, flexible, and fun-loving people.  What better way to make new friends?
• The yacht is large enough to spread out on the bow, on deck, in the cockpit, or in the cabin.
• When we are at anchor you can feel free to be by yourself at a restaurant, on shore or remain in the boat alone.
• You can take the dinghy to shore by yourself or we can take you where you want to go.  If you are ready to be picked up to return to the yacht, just call us on the portable two-way radio that we provide to our guests.
• You are coming on vacation to be with each other.  Everyone should have their own space and we will cover that in our boat briefing before we set sail.  If you want to join in a group activity that's fine, but you should feel free to say no.
