Bermuda Rally 

Bermuda is often the first offshore run for many cruisers and now, for the first time, Salty Dawg is sponsoring a rally to the “Onion Patch”, as some call the island.  In conjunction with our Azores rally, with feeder departures from St Maarten and Hampton, our Bermuda rally with depart and sail “in company” with those participating in the run to the Azores.

Bermuda is a very popular destination with cruisers, and spring is the perfect time to visit.  A run to Bermuda is a great way for skippers and crew to gain valuable blue water experience.  What better way to prepare for the “big” rally, the Salty Dawg Caribbean Rally in November, than to gain experience sailing to this beautiful destination?

The rally will depart from the Hampton Public Docks on or about May 18^th, which will coincide with the departure of the Azores feeder rallies from Hampton and St Maarten, also bound for Bermuda.  The run is likely to take 5-7 days, a good but manageable passage for those working to gain offshore experience. 

This will be a great opportunity to enjoy time in Bermuda with those boats participating in the Azores rally.  Events planned in Bermuda include a departure dinner to wish the Azores rally boats “bon voyage” as well as several pre-departure get-togethers and even a visit to a private island for a pot luck.  We have also arranged for arriving boats to waive the Bermuda head tax and help you get duty free fuel.
