How likely is it that will I get seasick?

 Depending on your sensitivity for boat movement here is what 
    best practice learns:
-You may not get seasick at all. We will do everything we can to help you get your "sealegs" before going to sea.
- Domicil is a steady ship and does not move or heel as much 
    as some light racing boats would.
 -Typically we suggest a day and night on the boat  to help (your body) 
    get used to the boat movements. After that most people are fine.
- Medication: Non-prescription medications include Dramamine and 
    Bonine. Check with your doctor or pharmcist before use. 
    Both must be taken 1 to 2 hours before getting on the boat. 
    These work for many people. There are many non- drowsy formulas 
    available, so you won't miss a moment of enjoyment aboard Domicil!
    

What will the sailing be like?

The wind comes from the east the whole year round with strengths ranging from 10 to 30 knots.
So sailing from Bonaire (east) to Curacao (west) is pretty much a down wind sailing event!
These are perfect sailing conditions for any sailing enthusiast and easy conditions for non-sailors.
    

Can I change the itinerary?

The Bonaire - Curacao itinerary is a well planned and proven itinerary.
- Yes you can add as many days as you wish and enjoy 
    a discount on extra days.
- Going the other way (Curacao => Bonaire) is against the wind 
    and not recommended
- Would you like to sail with Domicil in an other part of the 
    Caribbean? Contact us for a custom itinerary!
    

I like scuba diving!
What can you do for me?

Both Bonaire and Curacao are famous for their wonderful dive spots.
- We can arrange for you to join multiple dives at any location
- Typically we will zip you over in our tender to the dive spot/boat and wait  to bring you back. Very convenient, no hassle with transport or 
    moving gear.
