Emily Morgan

Your hosts aboard Yacht Emily Morgan are British husband and wife team Anna and Bones Black. Together they have sailed over 95,000 miles aboard Emily Morgan, including 12 Atlantic crossings and a circumnavigation. They love showing guests the best of the Caribbean, including a few secret spots.

Both Anna and Bones have sailed from an incredibly young age. Anna’s first sailing experience was at 18 months old. Bones cut his teeth in the notorious Bristol Channel. They are both experienced sailing instructors equally happy cruising deserted islands or racing round the cans and love to impart their wealth of knowledge to a willing audience.

Bones has a passion for imparting his love of sailing to people of all ages. He ran a training centre for many years teaching sail and power and has a natural talent for entertaining children. Bones is an RYA/MCA commercially endorsed Offshore Yachtmaster. Having maintained his own boats from an early age and with a background in aviation, Bones turned his hand to successfully running his own boat repair business. This ensures that Emily Morgan is always very well maintained.

Anna has sailed both yachts and dinghies all her life, growing up on the Hamble River and gaining an RYA dinghy instructors’ qualification at the age of 18. She is an RYA/MCA commercially endorsed Ocean Yachtmaster and did her first Atlantic crossing in 2004. She inherited a love of cooking from her mother and has a culinary repertoire spanning the globe, with an emphasis on using fresh, local ingredients.

The contract will be construed in accordance with English Law, and it is agreed between us that each will submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

General
Sailing is an activity sport and the participant warrants that he/she is physically fit enough to sail. Please advise of any medical condition, the need to take prescribed medication or food allergies. Sailing can be dangerous; it is the skipper’s decision whether to sail or continue to sail, and no refund will be payable should a destination not be reached.

Bookings will be accepted by the Company on the payment of a deposit of 25%, except that the Company reserves the right not to accept the booking. The balance is to be paid at least 6 weeks before the departure date. Deposits and any further payments will not be refundable unless the berth is resold and the Company is notified of cancellation, in writing, at least 6 weeks before the trip. The Company reserves the right to terminate anyone’s participation in the trip and may refund any monies paid on a pro-rata basis, less a 10% handling charge.

Non-Participation in an Event
All events are subject to demand and subject to availability. Should the Company not take part in an event due to an insufficient number of participants, the Company will advise participants and may return money already paid. The Company’s liability will be limited to the amount paid by the participant. The Company reserves the right to refuse a booking should the boat be full or for any other reason.

Insurance
The boat and equipment are fully insured, but this does not cover cancellation, delays due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, personal injury, medical repatriation or crewmembers’ personal possessions. You are required to arrange travel insurance to cover these risks and to bring an EHIC card on offshore trips. For insurance recommendation please click here.

Late Arrivals
The Company will make every reasonable effort to accommodate late arrivals. However, if such delays inconvenience other participants, the skipper may decide to sail without the delayed crew member. In such cases no refund will be payable.

Crew Members’ Responsibilities
Participants must:
– Ensure that any action they take does not hazard the safety of fellow participants, the skipper, crew or the yacht
– Observe the rules of Customs and Excise and Port Authorities to which they become subject, including carrying an appropriate passport/visa on offshore trips. Seaspace Ltd will not be liable for problems caused by the crew not having correct passports or visas
– Observe standards of personal conduct that will not be considered offensive by other participants.
Should anyone’s behaviour be unacceptable, particularly with regard to safety, the Company reserves the right to terminate his or her participation in the event.

Cancellation
Should the intended boat not be available, the Company will make every reasonable effort to secure a replacement. If this is not successful and the event or part of the event has to be cancelled, a refund may be payable; any refund will be limited to the amount of money paid in respect of that event. If a cancellation has to happen partway through, refunds will be pro-rata. Participants are advised to take out appropriate insurance.
