NOTICES for Boats and Crew opportunities

Crew wanted 15th to 22nd Apr’25 Martinique to Curacao

I am retired and looking for crew both experienced and novice (happy to teach) and day of the weekend or weekend. I do mostly day sailing or short trips (2-4 days) in the Bay, either to marinas or anchoring out.

Looking for crew to join for the 2025 sailing season. Various events, typically weekend regattas and some cruises. Based near Annapolis, MD, but will travel all over the Chesapeake Bay and sometimes beyond. At this time I have enough crew new to sailing signed up, and now looking for crew to join with more experience to balance skills. Full and fun schedule.

During these 2 weeks we will alternate between short sailing trips, visits, walks and even swimming! I am looking for crew members with or without sailing experience who are able to participate in all the tasks of life on board, all in a good mood!
For those who are interested, I will be happy to introduce them to sailing.
We still have 5 availables places.

I'm looking for 2-3 crew to help me sail from Wilmington NC (Wrightsville Beach) to Boston MA.

I'm expecting to arrive in Wrightsville Beach and drop off my current crew there around 4/15. I plan to hang out there and wait for new crew and good weather before continuing up the coast.

I'm not doing this on a fixed schedule, we'll prioritize safety and comfort of the crew. So, if we have good weather and the crew is up for it, the optimistic estimate is that it'd be about a five day offshore passage. In the more likely event that we choose to make some stops (for fun, to wait for weather, drop off / pick up crew, get more rest, or whatever), then it will probably take closer to 7-10 days or more.

Possible routes: There are lots of possibilities! We could theoretically go straight from NC to Buzzards Bay and through Cape Cod Canal if the stars align, but we may choose to make stops at Beaufort, Cape May, Sandy Hook, Block Island, etc. We could also take the ICW from Beaufort to Norfolk. I'm not planning to go up the Chesapeake and back down Delaware Bay, but we can do that if it makes the most sense for the weather.

The boat is pretty easy to sail and manage singlehanded under autopilot, so my main expectation of crew is simply to help stand watches, including night watches (2-3 hour shifts), so everybody can get plenty of rest and time to relax and enjoy the trip. I am hoping to do some remote work via Starlink for my real-life job while we're on the go, and crew is also welcome to bring their work. This is my first time doing this trip, so it will be a good adventure!

You don't need extensive offshore sailing experience to join. We use jacklines and tethers at all times offshore, both in the cockpit and on deck; please bring a harness if you have one.

I'm happy to help cover costs for travel and expenses aboard within reason. Please reach out!

I will start this 2025 sailing season in Early Spring : Day sails/overnights to Annapolis/St. Michaels/Oxford. The boat is very equipped. Please get in touch to obtain details. Thank you.

I am looking for crew to move my Passport 40 from Vero Beach FL to Salem MA. Due to nature of this passage and time of year it will be accomplished by making 2-3 day offshore & coastal passages making it somewhat ideal for those who cannot spare the time for the whole trip, I cannot however offer specific dates for the various ports where crew changes are possible as the early spring weather will dictate sailing days. Unless you are very flexible with your time I prefer crew to commit to whole trip.

This trip is ideal for someone looking to experience a portion of the ICW from Beaufort NC to Norfolk VA (200 miles sailing and motoring) and coastal/offshore passages of 1-3 nights. This passage can depending on weather be done in 14 days but again because of weather more likely 3-4 weeks.

No offshore experience required, however you should know how much motion affects you and know how to control it.
