YOUR SAIL/DIVE ADVENTURE
THE JOIE DE VIVRE EXPERIENCE
JOIE DE VIVRE
We begin and end our adventures on any day of the week. We can do anything from 3-14 day adventures. Our crew, or shore support team, will meet you at the EIS airport or the seaport and escort you to the yacht and check in. We try to run according to what we agreed via preference sheets but will make adjustments in event weather doesn’t cooperate. January to May in BVI is generally perfect conditions for all the experiences we support.
To get to these preferences we will ask you a number of questions so that we can tailor the experience to fit your requirements perfectly.  We’ll want to know how many are in your party, approximate age range, if there are youngsters in your party, how many cabins you’ll want, if you have any specific requests for on-board equipment like diving, surfboards, paddleboards, kayaks or anything else, what type of food you like, if you have any itinerary requirements, your budget and more – in short, it’s a highly personalized experience.
Our overall booking quotation/invoice when quoted is all inclusive and includes light breakfast and lunch on board, and all soft and alcoholic beverages. Menus will be developed based on preferences. We generally arrange dinner ashore in a variety of locations again based on preference. Dinner ashore will be for guests account. We can cater dinner aboard if required.
We typically suggest a 15-20% gratuity for the crew, if they delivered for you, at the end of the trip and this can be settled by credit card.
