THAT IS THE ADVENTURE!!
Couples Sailing or How I Discovered Life at Sea...

I was introduced to sailing by Bruno several years ago.  Before that      
time, I had absolutely no experience whatsoever sailing.  So you           
might imagine my reluctance to learn how to sail.  But I started going    
out with Bruno on the Vivacious, the 21' training boat.  And because     
the Vivacious is so responsive to steering and movement, I learned     
how to sail a straight course, tack, dock the boat, all the basics I
needed to enjoy sailing.  Once I was out there on the water, I gained    
an appreciation for the swooshing sound of the boat gliding on the      
water, the wind in my hair and the glimpse of the pelican or dolphin      
going by.  I don't think there is a better way to get close to nature         
than on a sailboat.  And the last time I checked, the price of wind has   
not gone up - wish we could say that about gas prices!

Sailing is not always under blue skies and calm conditions - and for      
those times when the weather gets rowdy (or "sporting" as Bruno       
calls it) - sail training will prepare you to safely maneuver your way       
out of that too!  We got caught last summer between a waterspout        
and the Gulf of Mexico.  Talk about nervous!  But we just took the         
sails down, kept the boat steady and steered straight for the marina     
to safety.  That's the type of safety preparedness you can expect only
from an experienced performance ocean sailor.

If you are a couple looking to see for yourself what sailing is all             
about, I highly recommend taking the 2-3 day training course.  You        
don't have to sail across the Atlantic to experience the thrill of              
sailing.  There are a number of short excursions along Florida's            
coastline that will prepare you for island hopping in the Caribbean      
or anywhere else you want to go.  For our Florida visitors, Florida
offers a variety of beaches, museums, restaurants and theme parks to
keep you entertained when you are not sailing.  Our packages are
designed so you can sail all day, then enjoy dinner at a fine restaurant
at night at your leisure.  What a relaxing holiday!  It also gives you a
great opportunity to sail on different types of boats to see what type
of boat you may want to charter or purchase someday.  And I can truly
tell you that the couple that sails together, stays together.  Hope to
see you on the water!

                    FLOTILLA & SAIL TOURS
No experience necessary!  Join the Geronimo on a flotilla adventure tour from Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, BVI
and beyond!  An escorted flotilla tour consists of a minimum of three boats up to twelve boats per tour.  We have up to
twelve boats available in Florida for a custom flotilla tour of your choice–between 7 to 14 days – to the destinations you
wish to stop at along the way.  Flotilla tours are very popular because they are a combination of an experienced lead
boat with chartered boats of private individuals along for the sailing vacation of their own making.  The captain of the
Geronimo will guide you to your destinations and you will tie up with the Geronimo and other flotilla boats every
evening – there can be up to twelve boats on the flotilla with
the average boat sleeping 6 people.  You have the
freedom to sail on your own along the way and meet up with the group at prearranged destinations during the duration
of the tour with plenty of time for snorkeling,
cocktails on the beach and soaking up the sun.

The captain and instructors are there to assist and guide you
onto the achorage so you can explore the beauty of the
coast and islands
, restaurants and shops at your own pace.  When you return at night to your flotilla boat, relax and
share your adventures with the other members of the flotilla.  The next morning you will start off on another sailing
adventure, knowing that the lead boat Geronimo is there should you need any assistance along the way. We will
customize your flotilla tour to your needs.  Every evening we
stop at beautiful bays for anchoring or marinas.  As an
added attraction,
you have the option of sailing the Geronimo for a relaxed version of regatta practice on the tour.  

Instructors/Onboard Skippers/ASA/RYA certification available upon request. Click on Flotilla Tours for details.
As we said, no experience necessary, and for those new to sailing
, experienced captains are available.
A Perfect Match...Flotilla Tours and Geronimo Adventure ....Happy Sailing!
