- Bella Vita Babes - Girls that
are regular attendants at these regattas. You can easily spot them
because not only are they lots of fun, but if they aren't naked, they
are wearing a very colorful super tiny, Bella Vita G-String Bikini
awarded to one girl at each party. (these suits are identical to the
Wicked Weasel suits that are so popular among lifestylers and are valued
at $75). They could be single or
part of a couple, but they are fun, playful girls that love telling all
their friends and spreading the word about Bella Vita. They
post on the
Bulletin Board
letting everyone know they're coming to the party and what their
experiences have been from past parties. So ladies... Be a "Bella
Vita Babe"! Spread the word and get your free Bella Vita Bikini at
the next regatta for free!!!
- Castaways - Those without a
boat that didn't find someone with a boat to join, but took the shuttle
boat to the regatta, hoping to meet someone at the regatta that would
put them up for the night. (This is actually VERY easy to do since
lots of boaters have extra sleeping space and even if you can't find an
actual "bed" there are always couches or even sun pads to sleep on and
all the cabin cruisers have bathrooms and showers that you're welcome to
use).
- Day-Trippers - Boaters with day
boats not planning to spend the night. Remember that just because
you have a boat without a cabin, doesn't mean you can't spend the night.
LOTS of boaters camp out on their boats (See "Happy Campers" below) or
stay on their newfound friend's boat that they met at the regatta.
So always come prepared with a blanket and a pillow because you'll find
after you arrive, that you don't want to leave! Remember that you
can always post on the bulletin board in the section looking for a cabin
to stay on, and don't forget to check the section where other sexy
boaters are advertising that they have space for you on their boat.
- Eager Beavers - Girls that like
to get an early start and make a longer regatta out of the weekend by
arriving Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon.
- Early Birds
- Guys that like to get an early start and make a longer regatta out
of the weekend by arriving Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon.
- Gooch the
Mooch - These are the
people that don't come prepared. They don't bring food, or they bring
lame food and want to eat your steak and lobster while handing you a bag
of chips if they brought anything at all. The will hop from boat to
boat asking to bum a beer at each stop along the way, borrow your suntan
lotion & sun-block, and anything else they can bum from you that ain't
tied down. They won't bring their own towels to dry off with and
sit on so when everyone is naked, they will be sitting bare-ass on your
nice upholstered furniture in your luxury yacht. All the boaters
at this party brought their own boat, food, drinks and supplies. And if they
brought their own boat, you can usually spot a Captain Gooch the Mooch right away
because when they join the raft up they don't even have the basic
essentials that even the most novice boater would have. They
expect you to have the fenders to protect your boat from theirs, even
though they are the ones rafting to you. Don't expect them to have
an anchor either since they didn't bother to have fenders. And
make sure you use their lines to tie up with them because they will most
likely conveniently forget and take your lines with them when they
leave. This person is usually also a "Gotta Nada", (see
below). Please report any Gooch the Mooches to us so we can quickly
set them adrift.
-
- Remember that if you are arriving
WITHOUT A BOAT, then if you want to be welcome and invited on their
boats, bring lots of food and drinks to share with everyone, otherwise
you're just another hungry mouth for them to feed and take up space on
their boat, and if that's the case, then unless you are arriving with a
dozen playboy bunnies and porn stars with you, you won't likely find
anyone wanting to adopt you to hang out on their boat all day. So
be smart and be courteous and be a Gracious Guest, (see below).
- Gotta Nada - These are people
that "got nothing" to say. They don't help spread the word about
these events, they don't post on the
Bulletin Board,
they don't do anything to help make these parties bigger and better, yet
they love to show up at a big, fun, wild regatta party, after everyone
else has helped to spread the word to make it a big event with lots of
fun party people, and they want to enjoy the fruits of everyone else's
labor. And if they do make a posting, it is so totally lame, with
a few minimal words that it only says, "We'll be there" or "See you
there, can't wait". Be careful because this person is usually also a "Gooch
The Mooch", (see above). Don't be a Gotta Nada. Have
something to say. Post on the
Bulletin Board
and help spread the word. Those not posting cannot be guaranteed a
spot in the raft up line AND will be required to pay, based on the
sliding scale at this link:
Price For Party
- Gracious Guest - These are the
most wonderful kinds of people that boaters LOVE to invite to join them
on their boats. They know that the boat captain has spent at least
tens of thousands of dollars and often times hundreds of thousands of
dollars, on his boat. They know his boat burns 10-40 gallons of
fuel per hour and with the current price of fuel at the marinas that
means their boats cost $40 - $160 per hour to operate and about
$100 - $200 per day to run the generator for air-conditioning, so a
weekend of boating will easily cost $500 - $1,000. They also know
that most captains will spend lots of money on food and alcohol for
entertainment for a regatta. These Gracious Guests know that when
joining someone on their boat it is customary to bring anything you can
to show the boat captain your appreciation. Bring steaks or shrimp
or something exotic and offer to cook it. If you drink, bring
enough alcohol to share, (do NOT take the bottle when you leave), bring
your own towels and a few bags of ice is always nice. If you have
a specialty meal that you like to prepare, then bring everything you
need to make a lot of it and make a nice buffet on his boat for
everyone. THAT is how you get invited back over and over
again to join people on their boats. Gracious Guests Always find a
great boat to hang out on during the day and stay on over night.
- Happy Campers - Those that
camped out. They can be Day-Trippers camping on their own boat, or
Castaways sleeping on the sun pad on the bow of someone's boat or a
Landlubber that found a boat to join but their bed is the couch cushions
in the fly-bridge. If you're in bed, and you open your eyes and
see the stars, then chances are, you're a Happy Camper. ;) Most
playful naked people will meet other sexy boaters that have room on
their cabin to stay the night. Maybe you'll get a cabin to
yourself, or maybe a couch in an air-conditioned salon, or maybe a blow
up mattress on the floor, but we've never met anyone yet that couldn't
find a place to stay. You'd be surprised at how nice it is
sleeping in the cool breeze on the fly-bridges and sun pads of the
bigger boats, and there are TONS of sun pads to sleep on! Remember
that you can always post on the bulletin board in the section looking
for a cabin to stay on, and don't forget to check the section where
other sexy boaters are advertising that they have space for you on their
boat.
- Lame Brain
- Those that only know how to make a "Lame Posting". (see "Gotta
Nada" above). These people make a 3-5 word posting saying, "We'll
be there" or "See you there, Can't wait". When they are told they
cannot come to the party for free and are explained in detail exactly
why their posting does not qualify as a "thoughtful posting", (see
"Thoughtful Posting" below) then their "lame brain" turns on and they
say, "Really? Why not? Isn't my posting good? What's wrong with it"?
"What did I do wrong?" "Duh... what was I supposed to say?"
If someone is a lame brain, then this party is not for them and they are
not welcome, as these parties are for intelligent people only. We
need a huge sign at the regatta... "Lame Brains Need Not Apply" lol ;)
- Landlubbers - Those without a
boat that are seeking to find someone with a boat so they can join them
for the regatta.
- Mermaids - This is a single
lady without a date. Mermaids advertise on the bulletin board to
find rides and usually get a boat VERY fast. There are always a
few Mermaids at every regatta and are often times the life of the party.
If a Mermaid is also a Castaway, she can always find a fun boat to stay
overnight on.
- Single Sailor - This is a
single guy without a date. It doesn't mean you're "not married".
We don't care about that. If you are a guy and you come to the
regatta without a girl, then you are a "Single Sailor". Remember
that ALL "Single Sailors" must be pre-approved for invitation to join
us. Complete details are on the
Single Sailors page.
- Thoughtful Posting
- A thoughtful posting is a posting on the Bella Vita
Bulletin Board
that shows you care.
It's when you care enough to spend a few minutes talking about the
party, describing yourself your boat, your swing experience or
expectations or anything you'd like to share, and that you're excitedly
looking forward to meeting and partying with everyone at the regatta.
It doesn't have to be a "book" but it should not be a handful of short words
either. It's "thoughtful". Also, being thoughtful includes
always being sure that after the party you post in the
Past Party-Goers
section sharing with the world your experience at the party and all the
fun you had, the people you met, the things you enjoyed and anything
you'd like to share. We appreciate your thank you letters of
appreciation, but it means MUCH more to us when you post your thank you
letters to us here so we can share them with the world. We
want to know and we want the world to know... Did you have lots of fun?
Was it well organized? Were there lots of good looking people? Did
everyone welcome you and make you feel comfortable and welcome? Was
there lots of naked people? Was it a safe, secluded, protected area?
Was there lots of opportunities for swinging and playing and
socializing? Did you have some great sex? Did you see others having
great sex? Do you want to come to another party? Would you recommend
this party to everyone else?
This is very important to us and lets us
know who appreciates these parties enough that we want to invite them
back again.
- Wolf In Sheep's Clothes -
If you are a Single Sailor, then be open and honest with us and tell us
you're a single guy. Do not tell us you're a couple, and then
arrive at the regatta telling us a story about how "your date
unexpectedly couldn't make" it so you came without her, because NOW you
are no longer a couple, instead you will be viewed a Wolf In Sheep's
Clothes trying to trick your way into our party so you will be turned
away. If your status changes and you are a Single Sailor, then
simply tell us that, and go through the approval process that ALL
Single Sailors are required to go through outlined on this page.
