Descrição
Are you passionate about sailing boats? Would you like to live a unique experience and sail the Caribbean Sea in an eco-friendly way? Then join our group to rebuild a 70s Trimaran with your own hands! My name is Ricardo, I'm Mexican and here in Chetumal I found my home, my paradise. Since I was a child my passion has always been the sea and I think the best way to experience it is with respect for the nature that surrounds us…. so I chose the sailboat as a means to move and as my lifestyle. My dream is to explore the Caribe right from its best side, the sea, sharing this experience with people like me who love freedom and adventure. I am an engineer and I am passionate in recovering old and abandoned things: old things have a soul and a story to tell, I like the idea of bringing them back to life so that they can still tell us and teach us something. So the idea was born to refurbishing the Triton, an old abandoned trimaran, once used along the coast between Mexico and Belize for passenger transport and as houseboat, which will soon return to sail these crystalline waters thanks to your help too. I am looking for people who share my same passions and who are interested in participating in a challenging but stimulating project with the opportunity to know an authentic corner of Mexico far from the mass tourism. Minimum availability of 1 week, we offer brekfast and accommodation.
