What time should I get there the day of departure? |
- For the 5 day liveaboard course you should get here
at 11:30am the day the sailing trip starts

What time do we return on the day of arrival? |
We will return around 4pm. We suggest that you do not
plan to travel back home the same day as you arrive from
your sailing trip. Your trip will be much more enjoyable
if you stay at the hotel the day you arrive. Many times the
students like to get together for a celebration after the
class is over or simply relax and take in their experience. |

What do you mean by snorkeling equipment? |
| You need to bring a mask, a pair of fins and a snorkel and
a yellow snorkel vest (USCG required). Please note that if
you wear prescriptions glasses you need to get a mask with
prescription lenses. We strongly recommend getting familiar
with your gear prior to the trip making sure that all is well
fitted and in working conditions. |

Where do we go during the trip? |
| Where we go during the trip depends totally on the weather.
We plan on anchoring some nights and going to shore maybe one
night throughout the trip. Please note that the student are
responsible for paying a night at the dock if they want to
stay there so plan to take some money with you for shore excursions
and for your share of docking fees. |

Please let us know what dietary needs you may have. You
can accommodate mostly everyone. In case of major needs,
we ask that you bring what you need. |
