A 40- to 50-foot sailing yacht will become your home for a
week. It has a large self-contained galley and dining area where you will
prepare wholesome meals from the fresh or canned foods supplied by Sea Base,
supplemented by fresh catches from trolling while underway. Your
captain will instruct you in navigation, fishing and sailing, and will
remain on board for the entire trip. You choose your own float plan to
explore the beautiful Florida Keys. This trip offers one-of-a-kind
snorkeling and abundant fishing. Crew members must be 14 years of age by
September 1 of the year of participation. This is a seven day event.
