re: BVI Sailboat Charter Recommendations/Experience

Thanks everyone for the good info. I'm thinking we charter a day trip in San Diego or Newport Beach and take a trial sail to see how everyone likes it. Most of these folks have never been on a sailboat. Can anyone recommend a charter sailboat group in southern California?
Thanks again, this is dream trip for me, I haven't sailed in ages. I just don't want it to end up being a catastrophe because of poor planning on my part.

I wouldn't know anyone in Southern California. We used a company called thecharteryachtcompany.com. None of the 12 people in our party are sailors or had been on a sailboat more than a couple times in our lives.
The broker was a former BVI crew member and knew the area. Some of the other responders probably know more than I do about charter companies. We were pleased with her and she did a great job finding us boats given the circumstances.
Several members of our crew get seasick and were worried about being sick the whole time but no one ended up getting sick on the trip. cats are typically thought to be more stable than monohulls but I ended up in the monohull and had a great time.
There is no way everyone won't have a great time. Just do it.
