Yes indeed.

When we started trip planning we considered a number of cruising locations and companies. We were interested in new areas (Abacos) and considered returning to the SVI or Grenadines.

However, several things factored into our decision:

* CYOA has excellent prices and had a boat with Gen/AC available that we had chartered before.

* We got started a little late on the trip planning and ran into boat availability issues almost everywhere. Few had Gen/AC, and those that did were crazy expensive.

* Boat costs elsewhere were higher

* Flight costs elsewhere were higher, and with 8 people traveling, this was a factor.

So after considering the factors it came back down to our tried and trued approach of starting in the USVI and chartering with CYOA. We saved $ thousands over other options.
