Looking for a skipper who knows what a windvane sounds like at 3 a.m.
33ft steel Bruce Roberts cutter ready to leave Miami for Bocas del Toro, Panama. 1,330 nautical miles. Departure window opens now and closes 15 June 2026
The boat — S/V Sitting Duck:
• 33ft steel cutter, tiller-steered
• Windvane self-steering (no autopilot)
• Westerbeke 55D diesel
• Garmin chartplotter + radar, VHF/DSC, EPIRB with AIS
The route: Miami → Bahamas → Windward Passage → Jamaica → SW across the Caribbean → Bocas del Toro. Minimum 2 weeks; pace is yours to set — the Bahamas reward a slow boat.
You need:
• Qualification valid for this passage (RYA YM Offshore/Ocean or equivalent)
• US B1/B2 visa — hard requirement, no exceptions
• Caribbean miles. Windward currents and Bahamas shallows are not the Lesser Antilles.
We provide crew sourcing, clear delivery terms, full handover support, and 24/7 shore‑based assistance.
ASAP — first qualified skipper takes it.
DM or use the contact form below.
