Caribbean Compass Yachting Magazine September 2016

— Continued from previous page
Oh, and two different groups of guests have, over the past five years, purchased houses
within walking distance of BOSS where they felt at home and always welcomed.
BOSS welcomes sailors of all ages — the youngest sailor to have been certified was
just nine years old, and the oldest not far off 80. The classes are run at the pace of
our guests, with most people looking for a combination of serious learning packed
into a fun-filled vacation. The BOSS is proud to have trained several Vincentians,
some of whom have become ASA Instructors, and others who have gone on to
forge careers in the yachting industry, working on megayachts overseas. We welcome
one and all to come and join us on some exciting and fun sailing courses that
are nothing short of an adventure. We are here to help sailors and non-sailors alike
to achieve their sailing dreams and goals and are proud to teach how to do things
the “Barefoot way”.

Right down on the level below, you can order your breakfast, lunch and dinner from
the restaurant if you desire. How cool is that? To book or make inquiries e-mail us on
