2023 Boats, Skippers & Crew

Join us for the greatest vacation of your life – De Caribbean Regatta!  This is where we list the skippers, their boats and crew.

Boat 1 – The Great Escape – SOLD OUT!!

Cruise aboard the luxurious catamaran Great Escape to experience the sailing lifestyle. We greet each beautiful sunrise with a swim and breakfast or boat yoga, coffee and chill time. I offer ASA 103 Coastal Cruising, 104 Bareboat Chartering, and 114 Cruising Catamarans on the trip, so learning is integrated into our daily routine. Each day we sail and explore the natural beauty of the BVIs. In the evening we anchor and celebrate with a sundowner, flotilla party, or relaxed dinner on the boat or at a local restaurant. Make your escape! You’ll never regret it.

Anne’s has been developing the next generation of badass sailors for over 10 years, and she’s back for her second year at Caribbean Week. If you ask her how last year went, she’ll tell you the truth: what happens in the Caribbean stays in the Caribbean.

Boat 4 – Sea Ya – SOLD OUT!!!

Returning to the BVIs for a third time, Katie’s excited to say “Sea Ya” to winter and spend a week cruising from island to island, enjoying the friendly banter between boats for the most important items of the week… spirit, sail trim and swimming support gear. Katie’s an ASA101-105-certified sailing instructor and while she’s not teaching on this trip, she loves sharing her knowledge and is looking forward to a trip where everyone participates in every part of the voyage—from planning and provisioning to helming and trimming. If you’re looking for a week of fun, chill vibes, a tiny bit of friendly competition (after all… what do you call two boats heading in the same direction? A race!), and as much swimming/snorkeling as we can fit in, then say hello to the BVIs and say “Sea Ya” to NYC for a week.

Boat 7 – Rum Runner – SOLD OUT!!!

Under the watchful eye of our English skipper who now mostly hides out in Miami FL, the Rum Runner will assume primary responsibility for making sure the party never dries up. Life on board will consist of working on our sailing skills by day, with everyone (who wants to) taking responsibility for all positions on the boat. We love sailing and will try to sail as much as possible, but will also leave plenty of time for exploring, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and taking epic photos with drones and cameras. Then as the sun goes down we will get the music going and head ashore together to show the BVIs how to take the party to the next level. DJ, mixology and cooking skills will be especially prized, and enthusiasm on the dancefloor an absolute requirement.

Boat 8 – Flagship 2023 – SOLD OUT!!

Fun, Sun & Sailing. “Flagship 2023” is in charge of the regatta which means all the skippers come to our boat for the morning skipper meetings. It’s fun to watch and you get a behind the scenes look at how we create a great regatta. I’ve sailed the BVIs many times. This year, we want to make it the best ever so let’s put our thinking caps on and do it right. One thing about our boat, we are looking for active participants who are ready to steer, trim the sheets, raise the sails, cook the breakfasts, etc. We sail during the day, go to all the parties and encourage dancing every night.

Boat 13 – Momentum – SOLD OUT!!

Evan’s excited to return to the BVI’s.
