Greetings from the southern Caribbean where right now it’s a sunny 26 degrees Celsius with mostly clear skies which we’re obviously not complaining about, although it definitely makes it harder to get into the Christmas spirit!

When Necker Belle is sailing in the Silver Bank in February and March 2012 all charters will be accompanied by Tom Conlin of Aquatic Adventures who has a wealth of experience working with these magnificent mammals. Tom tells us in his own words about his passion for the humpbacks and what people can expect to see when they’re on and in the water.

Necker Belle and her motley crew have won their first Race in the BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival, the Bitter End YC Cup Multihull Class!

The race started with light airs off Nanny Cay which built into more suitable winds for NB and she started to stretch her legs, before the winds dropping off once again towards the North Sound where the finish was off the Bitter End YC. All the crew and the wonderful guests had her tacking like a professional race crew at the end when we had to throw in a few quick tacks entering the channel of N. Sound before crossing the line and heading off for some well deserved drinks at the prize giving. Read More
