Economic and Social Considerations The Boroka’s smaller scale can also produce positive economic and social impacts. Charter guests who frequent local restaurants, hire guides for onshore excursions, and purchase crafts contribute directly to island economies. Smaller vessels place less strain on marina infrastructure and often require less invasive shore-side support. When paired with responsible practices—such as adhering to reef-safe anchoring, limiting single-use plastics onboard, and engaging in community-supported tourism—Boroka-style cruising can be part of a regenerative approach to Caribbean visitation.
