Caveats

As soon as I have established a base clientele, I plan to change base location each season on my trek around the globe; I am especially interested in those who may well want to return time and again (see below).

Refunds will be given for cancellations 30 days or more in advance; most make plans to charter well in advance and there is no history of “last minute drop-ins.”

If you are allergic to cats, don’t come. If you are wary about cats, don’t worry – Minou is a first-class wuzz and too friendly for his own good.

If you cannot swim, please do not come.

If you regularly get seasick, please reconsider. Even a boat as heavy as mine moves around. I have some strong seasickness medication in the medicine kit (along with strong painkillers and antibiotics, inter alia).  I also carry some fresh ginger root -- "they" it works wonders against seasickness.

If you may want to scuba dive, please bring your own equipment (except tanks - I carry 4) and your current certification card (no exceptions).  Please also take out DAN diving insurance!  (I have a tank of 100% oxygen for emergencies.)

Bring plenty of sunscreen but avoid oils please.

Bring a minimum of stuff.

Costs

US$3,000 for two people per week all inclusive.  (This is $2,000 less than comparable sized boats charge!)

US$2,500 for one person per week all inclusive.

40% reduction in weekly rate for the second consecutive week

And for those who return within the following 18  months, 25% off the price in effect at that time ... my way of building a faithful clientele following me around the world.

Costs for those making the long trips with me (and where we do not return to the port of departure) will reflect that guests/charterers will be expected to be fully participating crew, taking regular watches.
