Boarding / Departure
Board at 3 PM at the dock. She casts off for the anchorage by 5 PM sharp.
Upfront all-in pricing. What you see is what you pay.
Overview
Cast off at four and be asleep by nine, with nothing above you but rigging and stars. Solstice is a 44-foot sloop that sleeps four in two varnished cabins, with an onboard galley, a shaded cockpit and a skipper and first mate who handle every line. Days are snorkelling bays and swim-stop lunches; evenings are gin-and-tonics in the cockpit and an anchorage only a handful of boats share. You came for the islands; you will stay for the swing of the boat.

Smoking on the swim platform only. Varnish and flames do not mix.
