ragamuffin
Ragamuffin falls in the budget boat category. She is a 62' heavy displacement ketch. She advertises as "7 islands in 7 days" focusing more on exploring the local restuarants and party places as opposed to deserted anchorages. Your meals will either be on the boat, or at such local favorites as Foxy's or Anegada Reef Hotel. The cost of the meals ashore are included in your charter fee.
From their website:
We are usually up by 7 am and sailing by 9, on most days we have our anchor down for the day by lunch.
You eat out most nights in fine restaurants.
We live in the Virgin Islands all year around, and have been sailing down here for 20 years with many local friends: Foxy, Michael Beans,
Tony Snell, Kareem, Ivan, Sand Man, Seddie, Val, Sammy, John St. John, Debbie, Jason, Prince, Elvit, Baldwin, Jemma, Randy, Wendy, Zeus to name a few.
We have the most fun with people that like to get up in the morning, sail, snorkel, and go ashore in the afternoon to socialize.
The Virgin Islands are a fun place with, beautiful soft white beaches, warm clear blue water, friendly locals and lots of music and night life.
Some people say we are the people Jimmy Buffet was talking about we he sang "We are the people your parents warned you about".
