Question:
How can we calculate the additional cost for the food & beverages if we hire a hostess for this yacht charter?
Answer:
Provisioning cost depends entirely on your selection of food and beverages based on the list of provisioning items with their rates that you will receive once the yacht charter is confirmed. You can pay for the same at the base and hostess will buy all of them for you or else you can bring your own food and beverages and hostess can cook them for you.

Question:
Can we sail to Exuma if we rent this boat for one day?
Answer:
Unfortunately, none of our catamaran rentals has enough horsepower to sail to Exuma within a day. It takes around 5 hours to sail one way from Palm Cay (Departure point) to Exuma depending on weather conditions (waves and winds)

Question:
Coming from Minnesota, if it’s a bareboat does someone out of state need certain license or certification to operate around coastal waters?
Answer:
The experience required will depend on the specific operator, boat, and location. In general, boat owners and operators will want to see that you have significant experience operating a similar vessel. Specific licenses and certificates are not necessarily required, but can help to show your level of competence.
