Caribbean Cruise and Learn Recommendations

bigbeam · #1 12-27-2004

Anybody have any recommendations for a 7 to 10 day cruise and learn in the caribbean?

Currently looking Blue Water Sailing School out of St Thomas and Caribbean Sailing School out of Puerto Rico.

We would also entertain the option of a private instructor / boat....

Thanks in advance,
Kevin

We''ve some friends in St. Croix, Rob & Kimberly Jones, who run the US Sailng school there, Jones Maritime Co. Their website is jonesmaritimeco.com

They run week long liveaboard courses on a Gulfstar 50 and are really great folks.

Tell em Cliff sent ya!

I was with Larry and Letty and five other students on their ketch Samana this time last year out of St Thomas. Went for ten days over Christmas and New year - had a strong blow with the Christmas trades and all, was terrific, lots of fun and a great learning experience - check them out - School of Ocean Sailing. Fair Winds, Jane.
