What we’re about
Looking for local people to organize sails and events for this group.
This merry band of sailors, former sailors, and those new to the sport exists to encourage continued safe learning and fun on the waters of Narragansett Bay and the world.
Boat owners do you need crew? This is a great place to find people interested to sail with you.
Crew members wanting to get out on the water, include in your profile your level of sailing experience...and don't forget, those without sailing skills who bring great food aboard are often welcomed back time and again :)
All are welcome to join us on international sailing charters around the world!
Welcome!
Capt. Joy

See all- Sail the Abaco Bahama IslandsMarsh Harbor, Marsh Harbour
This charter will be hands on. We will work together to manage the boat. An excellent way to hone in on your sailing skills or sit back and relax. Everyone contributes preparing meals. You do not have to know how to cook or sail. Bring your good humor! The rest will fall into place.
The Abacos could be Captain Joy’s second home. She cooked on a private yacht and has done dozens of charters here. You are in good hands.The Bahamas, particularly the Abacos, offer a stunning array of colors and tastes for travelers seeking a tropical paradise. With over 700 islands to explore, each with its own unique charm.
The Abacos, are renowned for being one of the best sailing and boating destinations in the world. Calm waters and gentle trade winds, making them an ideal destination for cruising. Short passages and line-of-sight navigation make for a relaxing sailing experience. The islands exude a charming nautical ambience, with picturesque colonial villages, harbors, and anchoring spots aplenty. Visitors can enjoy stunning ocean sunsets, the lightest blue waters and the laid-back atmosphere of island life. Bahamians are known for their big smiles.
We visit Marsh Harbour, Man-O-War Cay, Little Harbour, Hopetown, Green Turtle Cay and many other stops along the way for snorkeling and shelling.
Did someone say conch? You will find the freshest most delicious conch chowder and fritters here! We will sample authentic Bahamian cuisine at local establishments along the way.
