More difficult charter
The staff were decent, not as organized as the Sunsail folks in the BVI, perhaps because they don't need to be as efficient in turning people around. They were friendly though and gave us no problems.
The boat was in good condition, the only real problem we had was with the dinghy motor, which refused to start no matter what we did. We wound up doing a lot of rowing, which was a pain.
If you have never sailed in this area before, watch out! It can get very windy. One day we were out there in 35+ knots, and with more open water an less support around, made for much more challenging sailing than what we were used to. Also, anchorages were fairly unprotected, so we rolled a bunch at night. Made it interesting also because there were few moorings to pick up. Fortunately the holding was good throughout.
If you want an adventure, would recommend, but be ready for it.
