Why Sail Barefoot

 


"Mr. Helmsman" in 17k wind!
"On behalf of G, J, P, D, J, and J, I would like to thank you for the wonderful time we had aboard Barefoot the last week of July (2011). You were outstanding in helping the boys learn to sail and snorkel, and we appreciate the adjustments you made to our week to make the sailing more comfortable. It was definitely the adventure of a lifetime and wouldn't have been the same without you!" Lisa S. Illinois

 
"Dear Captain Bruce & Girl - Thanks for a terrific trip. I loved learning to sail alongside the other guys and Girl. It was a once in a lifetime experience!" Douglas C. Alabama

"Captain Bruce & Girl - Thanks for a wonderful trip and the unbelievable experience on board Barefoot. We loved it from A to Z. We'll have to call you for some luck when we go fishing again (he caught 3 fish - first time ever catching anything!) All the best!" Michael C. Alabama
 
"Thank you for such a memorable week! Just wanted to send a note of thanks for your time, equipment, and care so that our boys could have such a memorable experience!" Kristine M. Georgia
 
"First and foremost, thanks again for a fabulous sailing trip on your boat. All the boys - and the adults - had a superb time with you. You really did make the difference between just a good trip and a really memorable trip." Frank P. Florida

 
A vacation on Barefoot is a unique experience among charter sailboats. Along with his Master Captain License, your Captain, Bruce, is an accomplished self-taught cook. We maintain a laid-back, relaxing friendly atmosphere built around sun, fun, and fine food. And because Sail Barefoot is a private charter, the only passengers on board will be your party.

Guests of all backgrounds, from all over the US and other countries, have enjoyed cruising with Sail Barefoot because we customize the trip to meet your expectations:
  • We can spend most nights at quiet anchorages enjoying good company and the amazing display of stars. Or, if you prefer, we can spend most nights at marinas with access to Keys nightlife. And of course, we can plan for some of each!
  • AND
  • We can sail as much as the wind allows, or spend much of the time in the water snorkeling the U.S.'s only living barrier reef system. We usually plan a delightful combination of both!
  • AND
  • You can participate in the operation of Barefoot, using skills you've brought with your or learning new ones, or, you can lay back and relax while we gently cruise to your next adventure spot!

I will prepare surprisingly exotic meals and serve them for you. Or, if you are a "foodie" like me, you can help me prepare our delicious meals, and maybe teach me a new technique, or learn a few new ones that you can take home to enjoy with your friends and family.
 
If you're not sure what you'd like, I'll set an exciting itinerary for us. We can usually modify our plan as the days unfold to include more of the parts you like best.
 
Whether a couple on a romantic get-away, a group of friends, or families of all types, Barefoot offers a variety of activities that will make this vacation one to remember for a lifetime.
