Let's go on a sailing adventure to the Caribbean Sea aboard a 52' Catamaran!
 
Here are some highlights:
  • Learn how to hoist sails, tie boat knots, drive at the helm, drive a dinghy, read a nautical map, moor, anchor and measure wind
  • Sleep in boat cabins each night while spending your evenings playing card games, watching sunsets and reading a novel
  • Perfect your cooking skills with communal cooking duties
  • Taste caribbean cuisine such as Spiny Lobster, conch, mahi mahi and shrimp
  • Snorkel on reefs such as Marina Cay, the Caves and the Indians
  • Walk, workout on or shell hunt on pristine beaches such as Brewers Bay, Cane Garden Bay, Loblolly Beach, and White Bay
  • Explore the rocks at the Baths National Park (the most photographed spot in the BVIs)
  • Hike to the summit of Beef Island through a dry tropical forest viewing huge hermit crabs, air plants, turpentine trees, and Loblolly trees.
  • Learn about the endangered Anegada Iguana and visit an iguana nursey raising these reptiles from eggs on the Island of Anegada
  • Swim daily from the boat, paddle boats or beaches 
  • Take a half day "Discover Diving" with Dive BVI which include a 30' dive on the RMS Rhone shipwreck
We’re traveling with Mr Toll who has 20+ years of skipper experience on sailing vessels. The boat is a Voyage Catamaran named No Worries with a home base in Sopers Hole (Tortola BVI) and includes
    • Daily breakfast and dinner (students will have the option to eat one meal on land which will usually be lunch)
    • 5 cabins, each with a queen size bed
    • 24-hour adult supervision (male and female faculty present)
    • Private group (only HH kids!)
    • Satellite service for emergency contact, wifi on boat, and 24 hour repair service through Voyage Charters
    • Anticipated cost is $2,500-$3,000 depending on numbers and travel cost. Deposits for airfare will be due the beginning of October to secure the best airfares (approximately $1,400)
