点评:We had last been sailing in BVI almost 50 years earlier and wanted to see how much it had changed (A lot actually!) We reserved from BVI Yacht Charter a Sub Odyssey 440 which turned out to be brand new - we were only the second charterers on it. Because we couldn't fidn another couple to go with us at the time we were free, we asked the company for a captain for both guidance and an extra pair of hands. They connected us with Chris Simpson who had been in the various parts of the BVI sailing business for decades. Chris was fantastic and we strongly recommend him. He listened well to what our interests were and came with with places and activities that fit in perfectly.
The boat, tam elli, was new as stated above. It sailed very well and was well equipped. At the time we were in it the ventilation in the evening of the stern cabin we used was poor as as the 3 port holes were not in good place to catch breezes and the one fan was also poorly located.
When they say "bare charter", they are quite literal. Thus, until we explicitly asked, there was no dish soap, not hand soap, and no paper towels. Not really a problem, but wished we had known before we spent a hour at the nearby well stocked supermarket where we easily could had bought such things had we been aware of the need. The dock staff was able to give use the small amount we need, but we might have sailed without any....

如上所述,这艘名为 tam elli 的船是新的。它航行得很好,装备精良。我们乘坐这艘船的时候,晚上使用的船尾舱通风很差,因为 3 个舷窗的位置不太好,无法捕捉微风,一个风扇的位置也不太好。
当他们说“裸租”时,他们说的是字面意思。因此,在我们明确询问之前,船上没有洗洁精、洗手液和纸巾。这不是什么大问题,但真希望我们在附近库存充足的超市待了一个小时之前就知道这一点,如果我们知道有需要的话,我们很容易就能买到这些东西。码头工作人员给了我们所需的少量物品,但我们可能已经航行了,没有任何物品……
