Sailing Information about the yacht "Bon Bini"

The hard
chine steel ketch Bon Bini has sailed around the world with me, it is
sturdy and strong.
She is not a
luxury yacht but has a lot of personality and is very cozy.
She's 12 m
long by 3.90 m wide. Enough place for 4 guest, 2 double cabins and a
captains bunk. Further more a roomy bath with toilet, shower on deck.
12 foot semi-rigid inflatable with 15 HP (Yamaha horsepower)
The
equipment includes, 3 spear guns, fishing tackle, towline and 4 complete
scuba diving equipments.
I am a
PADI/CMAS scuba instructor as well. You will have the opportunity to get
yourself certified as an open water diver in the crystal clear warm
waters of the Caribbean or just join me on a fun dive. Certification up
to dive master is possible on the "Bon Bin"
The
guests on Bon Bini are integrated in the daily routine of sailing, which
means everybody helps a little bit such as: sailing, anchoring, cooking
or just chilling.
The price is: € 100 per
day/per person
Included in the price are:
the boat, the captain, diesel, food, non alcoholic drinks and snorkel
gear.
The scuba diving is an
extra €30 per dive. So are the alcoholic drinks and the dinners ashore,
checking in and out of the Island (estimated cost €15 per person)
The
season goes from November through to July/August (weather permitting)
SAILING
ROUTE
One week charter (Example)
The
route planning depends on weather, wind, swell and also the people that
we have onboard. As we know the area fairly well and I am a very
experienced skipper, I will decide the routing, but I am open for
suggestions as long as weather permits.
DAY 1:

Welcome drink aboard the Bon Bini, try the local rum punch and dinner
will be had in the
pizzaria directly on the beach with a fine view of all the boats at
anchor.

rest of the day snorkeling, diving or just relaxing on the fantastic
desserted beach.
