Tonga

Charter Yacht:
The M4200 Catamaran has 4 double berth cabins and quick catamaran speed. Representing a stunning breed
of luxurious cruising cats, this yacht doesn't heel and you can tan an army! Monohull available also available if
desired.

This is a FLOTILLA CRUISE. You have two choices:
1. Come on Mike's boat for instruction. Mike will also be leading and guiding the flotilla, showing you where to
go.
2. If you are ASA or US Sailing Certified through Bareboat Chartering, you can charter your own yacht (this
must be arranged by PSSI), but you will have the comfort and security of going along with Mike, who will be
available for guidance and consultation. Your cost is the charter of the yacht plus a $350 flotilla fee paid to
PSSI.

Instructor/ Skipper/ Cook:
The onboard instructor is Mike Rice, owner of the Puget Sound Sailing Institute. Mike has sailed over 80,000
nautical miles, taught thousands the joys of sailing and has run successful trips like this one since 1985. Mike
is Coast Guard licensed and an A.S.A. Certified Instructor, qualified through Advanced Coastal Cruising,
Celestial Navigation and is an Instructor Evaluator. In addition, Mike was named A.S.A. Instructor of the
Year an unprecedented five times (1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005). Instruction is available
continuously and up to 2 A.S.A. Certifications are available for those who apply themselves. Mike takes the
certification processes seriously, and if you are interested in becoming certified, this is not just a joyride!
