There's also the fact that its 4 adults paying for all 9. And the cost of flights.
I've never thought of chartering as a cheap vacation. It can be very reasonable, but there's many more cheap alternatives. Cheapest trip I ever took was probably a week in the outer banks. House rental for 3 families was about $4k for the week and we drive there so travel was cheap. Food was similar to home, so no real added cost there.

My cheapest VI sailing trip ever? Rob Swain Sailing School with a private cabin. Still cost more than an east coast beach trip with the four of us. We don't go to the east coast beaches any more!

Twanger said: We find that cruising costs about the same as any vacation where you have to fly to a nice place and stay in a decent hotel. Agree <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

CottageGirl said: All our vacations are now compared to sailing in the BVI's. When I look back on what we spent for 4 days in Vegas last year, I cringle. I could have been on a boat in the BVI's! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> I can totally relate....one of the main reasons we rarely go there...and we can drive! Palm Springs works just fine.
