Yes, I've had many great experiences sailing from Coral Bay to the BVI's and all with the same captain and same boat. The sailboat is the White Wing and the captain is Clark Beam and he is truly an amazing sailor. I've gone out sailing with him with as few as 4 people and as many ad 8 people and each time was perfect. He is a master sailor, knows his boat like the back of his hand and makes each trip fun, exciting and wanting more. You can get in touch with him through Connections in Cruz Bay. As you can tell I highly recommend him. Tell him Ilene Hochman says hi.

Clark is great, and incredible captain, but it is illegal for him to take more than 6 passengers. To take more than 6 a boat MUST be inspected by the coast guard annually and the captains must have an array of additional licenses and paperwork.

I wanted to recommend Breath yet again. We have sailed on her, and it is a wonderful boat and the crew is great. Plenty of room for eight people. Plus, the prices seemed pretty reasonable.

I didn't realize that about the more than 6 count. Maybe I was wrong about the number. I'd go with wonderlost but I'd call Connections anyway and see what they say. Good luck
