day sails out of Coral Bay

Post by jp »

For a group of six (mom, dad and 4 teens). Interested mostly in snorkeling. Went w/Captain Phil last year - enjoyed it but looking for something a little more relaxed.

One caveat - we have one teen w/o a passport so that limits our options.

Don't want a booze cruize but something for the family with a few brews.

Try Captain Clark on White Wing, also departing from Coral Bay. We sailed with him last April and had such a wonderful day.

Captain Clark is a very laidback, nice guy and is the best captain you could wish for.

The Breath does a nice job on a hand made boat.

I was just recently in contact with Capt. Clark of White Wing for our upcoming May 2008 trip :) and he is not sailing this season as he is working on his house. Bummer! We went out with him in 2005 and had a wonderful time.

I agree with waterguy. We did a sail on Breath a couple of years ago and it was very nice, very low key. Plus the captain is a very interesting guy!

Ditto with Capn Clark on White Wing. This is a sailboat so the pace is slower. No one knows the VI better than Clark. The kids will have blast helping out and steering if they have an interest. We sail with him lots. Check out the White Wing at:

I thought he was working on that house a few years ago. Maybe he just had the land and didn't start building right away. He is the best day sail on STJ IMHO, and the nicest guy. I hope he's back in the water soon.

RD- Nice shot for your avatar. Your Drunk Bay friend looks like a Star Wars stormtrooper.

Steve,
Good eye! The avatar ended up so small I wasn't sure anyone but me could tell what it was. I posted a larger version a while back that can be seen here :

I remember seeing that from you before JD. I just mentioned in a previous post that we need to have a forum gathering around here with the Kentucky and Cincy people.

By the way, we loved Flyaway Charters, if you are interested in a powerboat out of Coral Bay.

Rick and Robin on Long Distance have been chartering for years are are really great people. You may also want to check out Serena Sea with Capt Nina. It is a beautifully restored old power boat that does a "Three Hour Tour" in and around Coral Bay so no passports needed.

Pat, thanks for the tip on Serena Sea. That sounds fun and low stress.

Cheers, RickG
