Share The Sail Flotilla Charters Samoa, and the Bahamas. And we are adding new areas all the time! Over the years we have sailed on monohulls and catamarans, and next year we will be doing Cape Horn on an adventure cruise ship. At most of these events we host Cruiser’s Parties and invite cruisers who are in the area to join with us. Our “House Band” at these events has starred Eric Stone for many years, often joined by Steve and Shelly Hall, Kyle Rife, Isabella Stefania, Captain Michael Beans, Steve Hendrickson, and a number of other waterfront entertainers. Some of the more memorable events have been at Bloody Mary’s on Bora Bora, at Pusser’s on Marina Cay, on the beach in Vava’u, Tonga (attended by the Governor and his family), and at the Sunsail Resort in Antigua. The Share The Sail concept originated at the St. Petersburg Sailboat Show, when the President of Sunsail and I were listening to Eric Stone play. For many years we worked with Sunsail, The Moorings, Dream Yacht Charter, Tahiti Yacht Charter and others. Over the years, most of those companies have started their own Flotilla Charter events, and now just about every charter company, boating publication, and sailing school has started their own flotilla charter plans. It clearly has become a very popular way to experience the cruising lifestyle!
