PLEASE READ: We are currently "free members" on this site, and we are looking for help this fall when we take the boat to the Bahamas. We will need to travel on/off from the boat, but would like to have someone who is interested in staying with the boat all winter. We will join as "paid members" in August or September, to be able to communicate with you. Until then, we are trying to see what our options will be.....and the 2 people we have added to our favorites, we hope you will be available in the fall.....:-)

My name is John and we have a power catamaran we keep in SW Florida for weekend and multi-week trips...and exploring & fishing. :-)
Bonuses: cooking, fishing, music, relaxing…..all wonderful
There is also a possibility of living on the boat (and taking care of it) while we are not on it.
We are planning to take the boat back to the Bahamas 24/25 season and want to start thinking about a crew, and what that would look like......

No current crew, as we have been spending the past year upgrading and updating the boat after our last adventure to the Bahamas.....but looking for 1-2 people to help with all things on the boat, as well as live on the boat while we are traveling for work. :-)
