You'll board traditional Bahamas sailing vessels designed to take you to such exotic places as Green Turtle Cay, Hopetown and Little Harbour. There's plenty of time for fishing, snorkeling and swimming.  This is a seven day event, and can accommodate crews of 6-8 or 10-12. Program Cost: $744-$992 depending on crew size. Other costs: Probable overnight en route to Bahamas.  Passport.  Details:
