There are starry nights and moonlit skies to see. There many tropical stops to make. When anchored there are beautiful beaches, funky little towns, fine resorts, local cuisine and local customs to enjoy and explore. There are lots of friends to be made. This is the cruising life that many people dream of and that Buffet sings about. Live the dream this season. Come for the season and stay for as long as you would like.

My boat is now on the Chesapeake Bay until mid-October. The season begins with a sail to Key West in mid-October for this year's Fantasy Fest. From there we go to Belize, then to the Bahamas and return home on May 1. Also join me to sail the Chesapeake Bay from now until early October

I am interested in a female crew-mate to share this wonderful adventure with. Although I would like to have one crew member for the entire time I also understand that some people cannot be away for so many months. If you cannot stay for the 6 months please do not let that deter you from contacting me

I need assistance with sailing, docking, cooking, keeping the boat clean and maintained, and to provide companionship. Some sailing experience would be great but if you have not logged hundreds or even thousands of nautical miles, dont worry. Sailing is not hard to pick up. I will share with you what I know. The boat is safe, clean, well maintained, and well equipped. It features a large cockpit, air conditioning (when in port), washing machine, water-maker, auto-pilot, GPS, 3 spacious berths (each with head), televisions, 2 refrigerators & freezer, and many other features. Pets, partners, parties, drunks, liars, and substance abusers are deal breakers and completely unacceptable. Social drinking and recreational weed use is ok
It looks like you are NEW to the crew wanted scene.

Please post a pic of yourself, age, and how much cash you have. To speed up the process, clearly state how much you are willing to pay per hour for the girl wearing bikini and serves as an eye candy for you viewing pleasure.

Please keep in mind. Girls are not stupid, they know your motive. If you still want to play, you need to pay.

Most women have experienced unwanted aggressive advances from men in all areas of our life. Sailing with just one man who you have no history of is probably not the most comfortable thing for single women.

In your profile you mention you have a fiancee. ?
thank you for all of your advice but i cannot help but wonder why i am receiving all of this attention by people who are not even considering to sail with me.

i am drawing an accurate vibe by bringing up wearing a bikini because thats what many women wear sailing in warm waters. a comparison is being drawn between being down there and remaining in a miserably cold place for the winter. my feeling is that if a woman reading this has had unwanted advances or is uncomfortable with what i have written that she will not respond. i hope that a woman who reads this knows what she wants and wise enough to make her own decisions. additionally if there is an interested party my reputation is unimpeachable and will be willing to share that with whomever i select to sail with me. i have looked over my review and see nothing about being engage. i am blissfully unmarried, happily unengaged and ecstatically pleaasd being single. when i joined last year i was indeed engaged but that is no longer the case

Re: Nov - May Female Crew Key West to Belize to Bahamas

This request is a joke. Putting female in the title, first line mention of a bikini, and then the classic "companionship". One on one time with a man she hardly knows? I can imagine women will be beating down your door.

Re: Nov - May Female Crew Key West to Belize to Bahamas

why do you care what i do? are you not getting any action and living vicariously through me? my suggestion is find someone and get to it instead of concerning yourself about me

Haha, I don't care, and I wasn't going to post until I saw your ridiculous defenses when people called you out. Just be honest. You want a girl on board and you hope it'll be something more than a platonic arrangement.

You sure have a point there, Jonny!

Most importantly, offering to go day sailing with her from now until you want to leave south makes a lot of sense, too. Of course you don't want to set sail with a fruit cake that's not compatible with you, no matter the looks. After all, your life, or at least well being, might also depend on her decisions and behaviour.

Re: Nov - May Female Crew Key West to Belize to Bahamas

hzcruiser - thanks. unlike these wives/girlfriends that read the post to check on what their husbands are doing or the henpecked husbands that feel the need to comment because their wives dont care for this you get it.. finding pretty girls to sail with is easy but the psycho ones need to be culled out. i kicked one off last year in grenada. thats why i will cover half of their travel expense to come here for an intervew and a couple of days of sailing

Re: Nov - May Female Crew Key West to Belize to Bahamas

pelagic - all of my life i have always had all of the girls i want. another one for romance is not going to make much of a difference to me. i dont get why you are having an issue with any man wanting to sail with girls instead of dudes. so tell me why are you having an issue with this.

Re: Nov - May Female Crew Key West to Belize to Bahamas

nickfox - like i said in an earlier post i have always had as many women as i want so another one for a boat romance is not going to make a difference to me. it sounds to me that you might be a little resentful.

Re: Nov - May Female Crew Key West to Belize to Bahamas

Does seem to be a bit more pru..puritanism than one'd expect from a bunch of sailors...
