BVI day sail

Iknow from experience that TMM in Roadtown on occasion will rent out a boat for a daysail to experienced sailors. If a captain were available, I am sure you could find some accomdation. The problem will be the expense. Cleaning up a boat for the next charterer can get expensive. I assume the other charter operators will do the same thing (but don't know for sure) if they have a boat and a captain available. There are convenience shops close to most of the bases that will have the provisions you need for a one day sail. Probably not worth trying to arrange by phone, but worth presenting yourself to the marina, asking for the marina manager, and chatting him up. Most charter base managers are pleasant people, and they make their living taking care of people.
