12. The Neighborhood- The Culture -The Vibe:
The following information has been compiled for our charter guests. We hope you find it useful in getting ready for your charter.
What to Expect:
The Boat:
La Vie, is the perfect sized catamaran for a family or 3 couples or the perfect Honeymoon, she is not a huge super yacht but she is very roomy (and no head bumping or toes hanging over beds...) much larger than a mono hull (a single hull boat). The crew are happy to teach or show you all aspects of using the boat. On deck, a sailing vessel can be a bit like an obstacle course, with winches, lines, and other fun things to trip over so you need to be quite nimble and prepared for a few bumps here and there.
Accommodations:
Each cabin is “boat sized”, like living in a mini apartment, you have to climb into bed and this adds to your adventure. We provide you with all your linens and towels for your stay, so you can leave room in your bag to shop for trinklets!In your cabin you have your have your own wardrobe, it is dinky sized so please pack light. Best to buy yourself a duffle bag/backpack or soft sided bag on wheels that can be squished into a draw for storage.
Weather:
The extremely consistent weather conditions in the Virgin Islands are one of the reasons these areas are considered to be one of the best cruising grounds in the world. The trade winds are nearly constant ranging from 10-25 knots, allowing for wonderful sailing. These cooling trade winds also keep it pleasant aboard.
Activities:
The primary activities for your charter will be based from aboard La Vie. These include sailing, swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding , kayaking, sunbathing, relaxing, reading, napping, eating. Your crew can help arrange for additional activities like diving, parasailing, tours and other excursions depending on the island. The cost of these additional activities is not included in your charter fee.
Itinerary:
The itinerary is based on your preferences of activities.
The itinerary will also be flexible to accommodate your schedule and activities. Weather, safety, and other considerations may also affect the itinerary.
