Transportation and Logistics
Beef Island is easily accessible by American Eagle and a few regional carriers. It is a quick hop from San Juan. Once there, all you need to do is get on the boat and relax. Chris will have the boat provisioned for breakfasts, lunches and our few dinners aboard. Make sure to tell us of any special requests or food allergies well before the trip. Various activities are available during the trip, which you can research yourself or ask us to figure out. We're happy to help you plan your adventure and find some hidden treasure. The islands are all a day sail away. On most days, we'll be setting sail after breakfast to get to our new spot. Other days we'll choose to enjoy the morning and sail in the afternoon. Those of you who have sailed with us know, we won't be getting going too early. This is your time to relax and enjoy.
