Our entire family, ranging in age from 64 down to 7, had a wonderful time with Captain Bill. We sailed to Vieques, where we all did scuba diving and had a wonderful barbecue lunch. We would highly recommend a day on the Erin Go Braugh for anyone who loves the sea and sailing.

The Erin Go Bragh is a beautiful sailing craft, and her crew is extreamly friendly, intelligent, and knowledgable. If you are looking for a more intimate sailing experience than 50 people on a Cat, then this is the boat to charter. Along with my girlfriend and I there were just three other passangers.

Just to give you an idea as to how knowledgable Capt. Bill is, hearing that there was some inclement weather north of Puerto Rico, Bill decided to sail further south than usual to Vieques
so that we would miss this. The sail was longer then usual, but the weather and conditions for snorkeling were great! We only hit some light rain on the trip back, but we saw the largest and most beautiful rainbow I had ever seen! Futhermore, this was my first time out on a good size sail boat and also my first time snorkeling, so I enjoyed the extra time on the boat. Bill pointed out sights of interest along the way and talked about his life and times in Puerto Rico. He and his wife were wonderful hosts and did everything possible so that we would have a great trip. If you want to help out with the sails and the anchor you can (I did a little), or you can just sit back and enjoy the ride.

The boat itself has a wooden hull and interior, with big tall sails.
It's about 50 feet long, so there was plenty of room for seven people. I even laid out and got some sun. That day they flew the German flag in honor of the three German passengers. A nice touch I thought.

After snorkeing for about 45 minutes, we came back to the boat and had a wonderful lunch of chicken and spare ribs, with a nice salad. There was plenty of good food to eat!

I highly recommend sailing on the Erin Go Bragh. It will be a most memerable and enjoyable experience.

Enjoyed our day sail, a small intimate setting, with a couple professional sailors(a wonder couple) to catch the wind with.
A perfect day gave us a opportunity to visit a great reef with more tropical fish then I've ever seen. The quarters are a bit tight, but this allows meeting some fine people with a common goal, meeting the wind and waves and enjoying some great snorkeling. Take medication if your prone to sea sickness, or if you never been on this beautiful sail boat. Half the 'crew' got alittle sea sick. The only real negative was that the food tasted a bit like charcoal lighter fluid. I barbacue everyother day in the Summer so I'm finicky about that. That's a small issue compared to a great sail we experienced though. Besides seeing a huge variety of tropical fish(which we hand fed), I saw a couple of manetees as we sailed to our first snorkeling destination. That was real special. The last time I saw manetees was in Blue Springs, Florida last year.
In summary. this was a great sail if your looking for an intimate, relaxing setting with the sea as your aquarium for the day.

I would recommend this to anyone!!!! Bill and Ingridge were gr8!!! The food was amazing, the sailboat was a blast, snorkeling was spectacular. If you have the time to do it...it's a must, we hope to be back.
