These unique boats have been part of the island's scenery for generations, though only in recent years have they been used for sightseeing trips. </strong></span></div><br /><div align="left"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><strong>This kind of paraw is found only in a small region of the Western Visayas, and these boats were originally used for fishing or transportation between islands, but since the arrival of tourism, enterprising locals have been using them to ferry tourists around the various beaches and attractions Boracay has to offer. </strong></span></div><br /><div align="left"><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><strong>Paraws are single hulled outrigger boats (not catamarans, as they are sometimes misnamed) constructed from wood and bamboo, and are sturdy and versatile little vessels, ideal for the conditions around the island. They are enormous fun to sail - on a windy day they skim along at surprisingly high speeds, and due to the absence of a deep keel, have the advantage of being able to moor right on the shoreline - perfect for beach hopping. </strong></span></div><br /><div align="left"><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><strong>Paraw sailing is one of the island's most popular pursuits, and a great way to explore the many beaches and snorkel sites around Boracay, as well as neighbouring Panay and Carabao Islands. These boats are usually manned by two or three crew - a skipper/captain and balancers. Depending on the conditions, up to 10 customers can ride, and there is no minimum number of guests per trip. </strong></span></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><strong>The inimitable Captain Joey knows all the island's best kept secrets, from caves to waterfalls and snorkeling sites, cooks delicious BBQ &amp; grilled seafood for his guests, and is rumoured to have the biggest smile in Boracay! </strong></span></div><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">.</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">Contact:<br /></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">.<br /></span>Captain Joey<br />Red Pirates Pub<br />White Beach<br />Angol (a few minutes walk south of boat station 3)<br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">.<br />.<br /></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">Tel:</span> 036 288 5767<br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">.<br /></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">Mobile:</span> 0921 7821494 (inquiries by text in ENGLISH please)<br /></strong></span><br /><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)">Email:</span> </span><a href="mailto:redpiratesboracay@hotmail.com"><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><a href="mailto:redpiratesboracay@hotmail.com">redpiratesboracay@hotmail.com</span></a></a></strong></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,153,0);font-size:130%;" >Additional Info:</span></strong></div><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">Boat rental - P800 per hour (per group), with crew.</span></strong><br /></div><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">Picnics/BBQs by prior arrangement, prior deposit required.</span></strong></div><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"></span></strong></div><br /><div><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">Bookings not usually accepted more than 2 weeks in advance as weather conditions cannot always be predicted.</span></strong></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=754242253&amp;v=info&amp;viewas=754242253#/pages/Red-Pirates-Pub/22699597376">RED PIRATES IS NOW ON FACEBOOK!</a><br /></div></span></span></strong><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33050969-115616400579075429?l=red-pirates.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Red Pirateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04020184005309082781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33050969.post-1156080765163508202006-08-20T05:44:00.000-07:002011-10-18T21:23:45.447-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7423/1735/1600/640980/boramap2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7423/1735/400/701651/boramap2.jpg" /></a><strong><span style="color:#000000;"> .</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Visit remote beaches, swim, snorkel or simply laze in the sun.
