Ocean Breeze Tours

Ocean Breeze Tours offers two charter options;

1) Charter our very own 4 stateroom catamaran SANCTUARY anywhere in the Caribbean at great rates--click here for more info either on a per person or group basis.
2) Charter a bare boat with Captain Mark as your private Captain.
You will travel at a similar cost to a bareboat charter if you hire one of their local "drive the boat only" captains, but with many of the experience benefits and special services found with a much more expensive fully crewed charter.

We don't have to go to places I have already been; we can also explore new places together. If there is someplace you have always wanted to go, let me know!! I specialize in the Caribbean, but I can read a chart anywhere in the world! I really want to go to Belize, I hope you do too!

SANCTUARY is based full time in Prince Rupert Bay, Dominica, and is available from St. Martin to Grenada, offering Private and Group Daily or Weekly Charters,year round. If you are in South Florida in the summer months, you are welcome to stop by Delray Beach and ride the trapeze with the thrill of the wind in your face as you hang out over the waves below with my friends there as well.

Here is a photo of my friend Frank, a veteran of two OBT trips (British Virgin Islands and Key West), with his Hobie 16 after a freak hail storm upended his boat. Why is he smiling? Because Frank and I share the same attitude about life in general: Being upset or unhappy about anything is unnecessary and a waste of time!! (and he has a good insurance policy ...)

It is with a sad heart I must report that my best little buddy, Cutter, passed on in May, 2006. He was 14 years and ten months old and was the best friend a man could have. He often sailed with me on my Hobie 16 SANTANA, now renamed "Cutter Too" as well as other boats whenever possible. Cutter, named after a cutter rigged sailboat, was always hungry, ready to play or go to the beach, and loved to hang out with the gang. He will be missed and cherished every day of my life.

Whatever yacht we sail, wherever we go, the idea is to have fun and leave your worries behind. Like they say in the islands, mon, no problem! Come sail with Ocean Breeze Tours!! Talk to us about the best location and dates for your party and we will customize a unique and memorable sailing, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, eating, drinking (not required), and relaxing vacation just for you!

So, call Ocean Breeze Tours and take a vacation you will never forget!

Thanks

Thank you to Tammy Saltzman-Dorfman who initially asked me to put together a trip for her and my buddy Barry (her husband) and their friends. Without this request, none of this would be in front of you now. Tammy is a lawyer in Boca Raton, FL with a newborn baby boy recently added (2003) to Barry's three kids. She needs a vacation like this more than anyone I know!

A big thanks to all those who have invited me aboard their boats and to those who sailed with me over the years whether we are racing or cruising. Each voyage is a learning experience and a blast in one way or another. To that end, special thanks to my Dad for forcing me to sand and varnish his old fashioned style boats as a kid and to appreciate the life of a seaman beyond basic sailing skills. (He made sure that I'll never get another boat that requires sanding again!!) :-)
