Bread on the Water

Is a 46 foot Beneteau Oceanis built in 2000. She is one of the most beautiful boats available for sailing charters on St. John or St. Thomas and is meticulously maintained to ensure your comfort and safety. Her long hull, designed by Bruce Farr and Associates, provides a very fast and relaxing sail. She is the perfect blend of speed and comfort that will guarantee a wonderful day for the whole family sailing on the beautiful tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea. She has a large comfortable cockpit with plenty of room to stretch out and an easy access transom equipped with a shower for when you return from swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear turquoise waters of the USVI and the British Virgin Islands.

Bread on the Water is also one of the few charter boats in the USVI available for a sailing charter to Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands where you can visit the world famous Foxy's Tamarind Bar and Grill, the Soggy Dollar Bar (home of the Painkiller) or the new Foxy's Taboo and walk the beautiful white sand beaches in White Bay. Captain Gary says, "The sail to Jost is our favorite sail because it is a wonderful sail both coming and going and Jost is such a beautiful destination with so much to see and do. Despite U.S. Homeland Security paperwork that is daunting for most small day sail charter operations we refuse to give up our favorite sailing trip." Please remember that passports are required for travel to and from the BVIs. Custom's fees are the responsibility of the charter client.

Sailing The Virgins:

Sailing the beautiful turquoise waters around St. John (see map) and the other Virgin Islands is a great way to enjoy the spectacular beauty of the islands and see the lovely beaches and coves of the Virgin Island's National Park as well as the smaller outlying islands. All sailing charters can be exclusive to one group and you can customize your sailing charter to highlight the interests of your group. Whether a vigorous day sailing or a relaxing day lounging in the sun and swimming or something in between,

Gary & Joan,

I wanted to take a second (in my post- STJ depression) to send you a note thanking you for such a wonderful day sail last week! I can't believe our trip has already come and gone, but the day sail with you two (and Roxy) was a definitely highlight. You guys are so much fun & we were so relaxed.

Have a great season & we'll see you next time!!!
