FLAME Guest Preference Survey Please print and fill out the attached questionnaire; it helps us know your preferences, special needs and charter experiences. Feel free to add any additional notes or comments, the more the merrier. It is important that all members of your party help with the survey, each member may fill out their own if you wish. Return the sheet to the address below at your earliest convenience. Once we receive your survey we will call you and go over any questions we may have and answer any of yours. If you will be traveling prior to your charter please note the dates when you can be reached at the contact numbers. Due to new Homeland security measures we must have full address, birth date, and passport numbers of all guests to submit to the Coast Guard prior to departure.

You can call ahead and set up an account before you leave home. The BVI's are covered by Boatphone and an account can be established here, over your phone. Will you be staying in a hotel prior to your charter? Which hotel? Please note that boarding time is 12 PM. The day a charter starts is very hectic for us and any early birds will find a very disheveled crew doing last minute shopping or cleaning. If your flight arrives prior to 12 PM please let us know in advance and make arrangements to drop your luggage at the yacht while you browse the nearby shops. Flight Information Airline and flight number ____________________________ Arrival Time _______________________________________ We will call you about one week before your vacation to go over any questions we or you might have and let you know where the boat will be docked. Depending upon your flight arrival time, we will have lunch or hors d'oeuvres ready for you when you board. Have you ever chartered a yacht before? How many times? ____Was it sail or power?________ Crewed or bareboat?___________ Have you chartered or vacationed in the Virgin Islands before? ________________ Please give a brief description of your groups boating experiences: _________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Storage space aboard any boat is always at a premium so it is best if you can pack in soft, duffle type bags that can be rolled up and stowed in a closet. Most guests find that they have over packed; you will live in your bathing suit, tee shirts and shorts. You may want a light cardigan for evenings and some people like to use old pajamas to protect them from the sun while snorkeling. Dressing up in the Caribbean usually entails putting on shoes!! Do bring plenty of sun block!! Choose the kind that is non-greasy and non-staining, PABA-free. We do not have any pre-planned itinerary; each charter is unique and tailored to our guests personal preferences. We have developed a rhythm and pace that makes a comfortable day. We like to move twice a day, after breakfast and again after lunch. Some days you may want to stay in one location longer-no problem. The choice is yours. Most trips take about an hour (you will hear Wayne say that a lot!). During the week we will take you to remote bays for fabulous snorkeling, drop you off on palm lined beaches for long walks or you can go into the little towns to shop for local crafts and souvenirs. On most charters people want to go out to eat dinner one or two times. There is a wide selection of restaurants throughout the islands with great food and incredible ambiance. West Indian food, seafood, traditional fare and international styles are available. Typically, meals are priced between $12-25 per person for dinner, lobster meals a bit more. Please understand that this is at your expense and will not be deducted from your charter fee.
