Yes. We have 4 small boats per session capable of hosting a full crew of up to 40 paddlers. Team captains should reserve early to secure all 40 spots for all crew members.
sunwing.ca has good all inclusive deals for the three sessions flying non stop from Toronto to Freeport. We also recommend Taino Beach waterfront resorts situated just minutes drive from the club. Alternatively, vacation rentals via Airbnb or VRBO provide numerous beachfront and canal-front options that work well for teams sharing accommodation.
Renting a car is not necessary if you are within walking distance of the sailing club. Taxis are readily available across Freeport, but having a vehicle or sharing rental vans with teammates offers flexibility between your accommodation, the sailing club, grocery stores, and dinner spots. Uber does not operate on Grand Bahama.
