Last years winner Brad Harris has not used his Sunsail Gift certificate yet, but no one could have predicted this pandemic to immobilize us as it has. Nevertheless Brad has up to 5 years (Oct 2024) to use his certificate and we look forward to helping him plan his boating vacation whenever he is ready.
Experts in the charter industry foresee travel to the Mediterranean light this summer for people from N America. There is definitely more optimism towards Caribbean destinations for this winter and 2021. With the newly revised Terms and Conditions offered by charter companies, it now minimizes the risk for charterers, as there is more flexibility to cancel and rebook their charter provided their trip cannot take place for COVID-19 reasons. YACHTS brokerage published a “Private Travel Advisory” article in our in March which has more information.
Member feedback from trips taken in the past year:
“This was our first time traveling / sailing in the Caribbean with Sunsail. The British Virgin Islands flotilla this past February organized by Capt Greg Marlo was a great learning experience for us. Having the pre-planning and leadership of the lead captain was invaluable. Overall the experience was a very memorable and fun vacation.”
“The member discount is a great incentive and along with the guidance from the charter specialists at the YACHTS brokerage which represents Sunsail. They helped make our trip to the Bahamas that much more enjoyable with travel planning and great tips on places to go and things to do.”
