My son would really like to take some of his friends on a charter. I like the idea of bringing them down to the islands for some fun, as well as to instill some sailing knowledge into them. However, I'm not sure that I'll be able to find any other adults to go with us. Will a charter company work with me with that sort of a crew (one competent adult and up to half a dozen 15 year old kids)? I have a pretty extensive charter history with probably 16-18 charters under my belt, but I typically have my wife on board as first mate. Truth is though that she generally prefers to relax while I take care of the boat and she usually only helps with mooring and anchoring. My son has been with us on a large majority of our charters and is able to handle mooring and anchoring duties while I am at the wheel. Will I have issues trying to charter a boat with myself as the only experienced person on board and five or six 15 year old boys to "help" out?

Thanks,

Matt
