Charter Preparation & Education
If you haven't already qualified for a Bareboat certification, the Bareboat Preparation and Cruising Courses are offered at many local sailing schools. The ASA or US Sailing 104 certifications are recommended for chartering a cruising sailboat or motor vessel. SDYS can give you recommendations for local San Diego schools
Your First Cruising Experience
If you want a great Caribbean location to begin your bareboat experience, the British Virgin Islands are the place to start. Why? There are over 40 anchorages to choose from within the 25-mile island chain. Your sailing time between islands is short, so you can use line-of-sight navigation and make frequent stops during the day, if you prefer. The water is so crystal clear, you can practically tell the depth by the color of the water, so it's easy to avoid shoals and reefs. With dependable year-round tradewinds, the British Virgin Islands are considered the world's best cruising grounds, and are also home to The Moorings flagship base in Roadtown, Tortola.
