What should I bring?
You'll spend your days in bathing suits and
casual wear, shorts, t-shirts and Polo's and you'll need sunglasses. Most of the time, you won't wear shoes at all while on
board, but you will need a pair of deck shoes or sandals to wear on shore. In winter a sweatshirt or sweater is advisable.
No hard luggage please, foldable/collapsible bags are best. We provide all the towels and linens that you'll need onboard. You
may want to bring your own beach towels.
What travel documents are required?
All visitors need to bring a passport.
What time can we board?
Boarding time is 2 pm. but can be adjusted depending on your arrival time
What is our itinerary?
For each 7 day period, the Charter includes the first and last night
in a Marina. Extra Marina stops can be arranged if guests wish and all associated charges (marina fees, shore power,
etc.,) will be passed on to guests accordingly. For guests wishing to enjoy the benefits of night-time air-conditioning,
staying at a Marina is a necessity.
Do we actually sail?
Yes,
as often as the wind blows in the right direction. The best time for sailing is from October to April. During the period from
May to September there is less wind. We are always delighted if our guests wish to participate in handling the boat under
sail and we will be pleased to instruct if you are interested. Or you can just lay back and relax in the sun!
What are the meals like?
We can serve three meals a day, as well as snacks
and fresh fruits, but trips are quoted on 7 breakfast 4 lunch and 3 dinners. If you prefer to eat more meals on the
boat we can provide a quote for that. Fresh fish or lobster is also served, in season. Most meals served will be a combination
of local and international cuisine and each party will be asked to complete Sea Devil’s “Preference Form”
so that we can tailor the meals on board to the tastes of your group. A selection of beverages is always on hand, from soft
drinks and a wide selection of liquors. For you meals out the crew will be happy to let you know the best places
to eat. See food and drink for sample menu and beer, wine, and specialty drinks.
Can
I fish?
Yes, - all fishing gear is provided free of charge.
How
much spending money do I need?
Spending money for an evening ashore (drinks, souvenirs) and crew gratuity.
The currency in the Virgins is the dollar.
What is the recommended
gratuity?
The live-aboard business is a service industry - few other recreational activities rely so heavily
upon the professionals in charge for your enjoyment and safety. Besides being at the mercy of Mother Nature, the quality of
your experience is based on the people who provide it. The crew are multi-talented and each does several jobs on board. They
cook meals, wash dishes, clean heads and cabins, perform engineering duties, and navigate the seas. We strongly believe that
gratuities should be voluntary and based upon the quality of the service the crew provides. If you are disappointed with the
service, you should inform the Captain of your feelings and leave no more gratuity than you feel is right, the accepted norm
for the live-aboard business being 10%-20%. The gratuity can be given to the Captain at the end of the week. But don't wait
to tell them if something is wrong right away, so they can fix it.
Can I
snorkel?
Yes, anytime the boat is anchored. Mask, fins, and snorkel are all provided, free of charge.
Will I see sharks?
Most of our guests will see sharks. Typically, we see
Caribbean Reef Sharks and Nurse Sharks. Some sites are frequented by greater numbers of sharks while others are less populated
by sharks.
Do you have a DVD Player?
Yes,
we have a 22" flat screen with DVD player, stereo system and CD player. We also have Direct-TV for any rainy nights
Do you have any local hotel packages?
These can be arranged on request.
What are your terms and conditions?
These can be emailed to
you
