Looking for some easy going, fun people with flexible timelines who want to crew on a journey north from florida to Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Roatan, Rio Dulce. Departing End of July. Anticipate 4-6 weeks of cruising weather dependent. The bahamas and northern cuba will be a windward passage but after cuba we should have a nice downwind trip all the way to guatamala.
The boat is an expedition style 57ft alloy sailing catamaran built in Hamburg. Strong, light, stable and capable with loads of deck space. we usually sail around 8-10knots. Being 32 ft wide, we don't get cramped up together confined to the cockpit. We find places to sprawl out on deck, to soak up the sun and to connect with the sea and our destinations. If you're a little shy to discover your sealegs or are worried your introversion might dampen your experience on a boat full of people, don't worry. The boat is very stable (sea sickness is far less likely, though not impossible) and given the size of the vessel you can always find a quiet place to sit and reflect on your own if you need a break away from the group.
Onboard we are a community taking care of each other and the boat. We take turns preparing delicious meals, we play games, listen to music, explore, hike, enjoy beach days, snorkel, spearfish, connect with locals, connect with other sailors, bbq, watch movies under the stars, learn about sailing and life at sea...most importantly we enjoy the company of those onboard, we philosophize on life, have open and honest discussions, all while sharing the moments together. Half the beauty of the journey is the connections we forge that continue in life beyond the boat.
Your captain is a 40yo Canadian who has his RYA Yachtmaster Ocean CoC. and has been living aboard sailboats for nearly 10 years. He's been aboard ZOE for nearly 5 years and knows the boats and it's systems inside and out.
A contribution is required. This covers food, water, starlink, fuel, checkin/out fees, agent fees etc...
Onboard there are 4 single berths and 3 double berths for couples or close friends who don't mind sharing.
Get in touch for more information.
Note: it is hurricane season however it is a strong el nino year. Hurricanes are expected to be a little less active in the atlantic basin. In the event of a storm we cannot outrun you must be willing to make your own arrangements on land and/or evacuate the area if it's no longer safe to remain onboard. The captain will make arrangements to safeguard the boat in as suitable place as possible, but will do so alone to minimize risk to yourself and others onboard.
