NOTICES for Boats and Crew opportunities

I'd like to find a partner to start sailing locally on short trips to the Bahamas or Dry Tortugas. If things go well we could plan some longer trips to other parts of the Caribbean or possibly cross the Atlantic to cruise the Med.

I have thousands and thousands of cruising miles and don't mind an inexperienced person. I can patiently train. The most important thing cruising is how we get along.

Hello. I am looking for a crew member for a long trip. Departure in September from Bellingham WA to France (Mediterranean), via Panama. Trip duration 10 months (including weather waiting periods). A one-month prologue is scheduled for August to familiarize ourselves with the boat and, above all, to get to know and appreciate each other. Food and consumables to be shared. Please contact me urgently if interested.

Ideally I am seeking people with excellent team attitudes that have a common love of the water and sailing. Some prior sailing experience is desirable but not completely necessary.

You are invited as working crew (ID verified) to join us onboard to sail from the Cayman Islands, onboard yacht Salacia. The planned passage subject to weather is:

You will be asked to arrive earlier on the 14th May’25 to help with victualling, preparations and for your safety briefings to familiarise yourself with yacht Salacia.

En route, the Skipper will be on call 24/7. So Sonia's searching for experienced and qualified sailors to help keep a safe watch keeping rota (e.g. four hours on - four hours off) practice the highest standards of safety procedures and be cohesive crew members for some enjoyable sailing…

You are asked to provide your own personal PLB and travel insurance, with vaccinations entry visas and flexible flights. You must also be good with my onboard dog “Buoy”… Fishing skills are a bonus…

I’m currently servicing my boat in the Caribbean island of Martinique, before I head North in April’25 to the Cayman Islands.

Then in May’25 I will be sailing up the East Coast of the USA to Chesapeake Bay.


I’ve sailed about 85000nm over thirty years, both professionally and now recreationally.

During this time I sailed around various countries in Asia, Australia. Africa, Australia and the Americas.

Since 2016, I have lived onboard my boat Salacia, first together with my dog Henry and now with my dog Buoy.

I enjoy sailing with friends and single handed.

Gradually sailing South from Scotland to Europe and Gran Canaria, in 2024 I crossed the Atlantic to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean.
