EXTENDED CRUISING Dream Time offers a limited number of Extended Cruising opportunities for people wanting to experience life aboard a cruising yacht in paradise but on a budget travelers allowance. It is also a good way for someone thinking about taking an offshore adventure trip to get used to life on the boat or simply enjoy more time at our destination. So what is extended cruising? Imagine waking up adrift in a lagoon to the morning sun and a fresh cup of coffee to watch the day unfold. Enjoy a morning swim, snorkel the reefs, kayak, surf, hike along the beach or occasional day sails to the next anchorage or port. Explore life ashore, maybe go sight-seeing, occasionally eat out or have a drink in a local bar while watching the sunset on the water. It is a relaxed, less structured experience for people wishing to travel longer term on the yacht. Everyone participates in all aspects of life aboard Click for Crew Duty Details We take lots of time to enjoy life, play and enjoy the sites. It is a complete immersion into life aboard a cruising yacht. While we may make some offshore sails most of the sailing is coastal and we are rarely more than a day away from port. It is a perfect way for a gap year student to see the world, a couple who is thinking about living on a yacht to get the experience before making the investment, or just time for anyone to take a break and a look at an amazing lifestyle. Discover the serenity and peace found drifting at anchor and sailing the islands and atolls of the world. The cost is based on a sliding scale with a maximum discount for travelers aboard the yacht for 6 weeks or more. Best value price for travelers aboard 6 weeks or more $59 per day. The price break for people aboard 4 weeks to $79 per day. Minimum stay 7 days at a cost of $99 per day. Extended Cruise Request
