Most of the photography on rexsailing.com is our own — the fleet, the marina, and our charter days on Samaná Bay. A number of destination-guide images are sourced from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences, and are credited below as those licences require. Each image was resized and recompressed for web delivery; no other changes were made. If you believe an image is credited incorrectly, write to dispatch@rexsailing.com and we will correct it.
