In looking at Conch...too budget. All we really need is a FANTASTIC sail, 1 head, 1+ berth. AN experience of a boat. Something really different.
If you’re looking for a fast sailing vessel you can’t go wrong with a Jeaneau or Benetau, they’re fast, go to weather well and turn on a dime and have ample water tanks. For Caribbean sailing sailing you don’t require a heavy displacement ocean sailing yacht. Maneuverability and simplicity is the ticket.

Horizon has a few Barvaia models - I think they have the 41 Vision? Maybe cruiser? with a generator, AC, and electric heads. This kind of stuff we don't sail without anymore!
They have smaller ones too - and it sounds like you don't need AC so maybe they are a better fit!

We very much enjoy sailing the jeanneau 36i's out of Conch Charters......great condition...and we actually sail all of the passages, and use the engine mostly to pick up moorings and charge the batteries. The also have a very nice beneteau 37, and a smaller sloop about a 32 ft.
There are only Erica and I, not large mass of people on board.
For us Conch has been excellent, super neat staff, family run, very helpful, make friends, and well found, well taken care of boats.
Next door is the PUB, for grub and grog, and Riteway is just up the road for provisions. We use their dock wheel barrows and also get early boarding the afternoon at 4:30 pm. before our departure the next day.. All our provisions are stowed as soon as we return to the vessel.
At that time , we also go thru the vessel inventory and do our own systems checks, and inspect rigging, sails, reefing, pumps, electrical, engine room, etc, before the official staff systems check out the next day. We are ready to get out of the docks and on our way to our first destination and the Willy T about noon.
The last trip may 2019 was # 17. Most of those were with the moorings and sunsail, the last three with conch. We like the personal friendliness and private owned business attitude over the mega corporations.
Personal choice.
Have a pain killer or two for us.
Denny and Erica

Agree with Bertman We have excellent experiences with both CYOA and Island Yachts - chartered with both on numerous occasions - really like being STT based - we're often on the boat within an hour of landing.

Thanks for all the input. Agree the IPs are very stable, but they sail ....meh... We had a yacht from Island Yachts and I was pretty peeved that the "owners panel" was disconnected. I didn't care too much about radar/water maker off, but even the GPS was suspended.one of the two compasses locked up, so ONE compass was the ONLY form of NAV. I'thinking Morris, Oysters/Swans are too big, custom, something different, not a plastic fantastic. maybe wood? If not, we will default to Limin'Time which we have sailed before from HYC.

Small, upscale, available for charter... I don't think you will find many boats that meet all three.
