I'm considering a 4 -5 day bareboat charter in St Petersberg, FL in late March with my 15 y.o. daughter. We have the skills and Sailing Florida Charters seems to have a couple of small cruisers that we could safely handle. We have cruised the Virgin Islands twice and the Chesapeake bay twice. My questions are:
Is this a nice area to cruise in general?
Any experience with this company?
Suggested itineraries/must sees/must stays?
Weather/sailing conditions this time of year?
Good snorkeling in the area (I suppose there are no reefs)?
Any effects from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill?
Good cruising guide to the area?
Thanks for any input!
