The Experience
I am looking for help getting my yacht ready for world travel. The yacht is currently in Key West and needs some general work completed. No prior marine knowledge necessary just a willingness to help and learn. You will be assisting me in the repairs that I am completing like boat electronics, rigging, plumbing, etc. A conversation will be required beforehand so I can explain all details.

Key West is a tropical menagerie filled with local characters, Cuban coffee, rogue cyclists, excellent live music, and LOTS of roosters. Dasiel was an excellent host and patient teacher who manages to balance productivity and having fun. Flexible and respectful he makes the boat a safe space for solo travelers and prioritizes your learning goals and making your time aboard a positive experience. If you're a hard worker with a good attitude, interested in boats, the boat, and a no frills live aboard lifestyle you'll fit in just fine. (And might end up staying ;) 10/10 would recommend!

Highly recommend this host and experience to anyone who is interested in the boat ! Das had amazing communication from day one. So accommodating with pick up and making sure you are comfortable. I had no experience with working with tools and he was so patient and so willing to teach. We had such a fun atmosphere in the boat with the other volunteers on the boat. If you're interested in the boat and learning I can't recommend this experience more !

Staying with Daisy has been a great experience. Not a day goes by that you won't be laughing and learning. As a solo female traveler, one thing we have to think about is safety and comfort. This experience was just that and super professional. You will arrive with 0 inside jokes and leave with many! I would say if you are a hard worker, the boat enthusiast, and genuinely curious about the all the projects that a boat will have, then this is the place for you. Das is easy to work with and super accommodating in terms of your own schedule. the boat addiction is like mind control.

Este fue mi primer voluntariado y no me pudo haber tocado uno mejor! 🤩 Dasiel es una persona increíble, súper amable y comprensible. Me hizo sentir como en casa desde el momento en el que llegué y estoy muy agradecida por eso 🥰 Las tareas a realizar fueron las acordadas y él se encarga de explicarte y enseñarte lo necesario, por lo que me voy con muchas cosas nuevas aprendidas 🙌 El lugar es súper tranquilo, cómodo y hermoso, fue una experiencia increíble! Sin dudas lo volvería a elegir. Gracias por todo Das y el barco! ⛵️♥️
