Does anyone know if/where it is possible to rent a small/medium size sailboat on a daily basis anywhere on Water I or around Charlotte Amalie? I couldn't google anything. We are experienced sailors. TIA...Tom

Happy New year and have a great getaway. Hopefully Local Sailor, Nutmeg, or Capt Jay can get you pointed in the right direction. “Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés

The St Thomas Yacht Club has a new program using IC 24s: the St Thomas Sailing Center. Not exactly sure how it is going to work, but it's an idea...

Do you know of any others since you say "lots of places"? Local, you mean Jethro is a Water I resident? Tom B, great to see you. Yes a long time. All is well and I hope you too. We've come to really appreciate the Water I campground and the ease of getting to it from Boston, so we haven't been chartering in the BVI so much. Best to all...Tom

But I realized another place to check is West Indies Windsurfing at Vessup. They have lots of water sports stuff. [color:"red"]NUTMEG[/color] Today is the tomorrow you talked about yesterday.
