My wife and I have taken the lessons and have now chartered cats 3 times and it's always with groups(6-8). We've found my wife to be shy around the groups so she's taken most of the chart/course, mooring ball responsibility and I've taken more of the behind the wheel work/fun.

We'd really like for her to get comfortable behind the wheel so we're (just the two of us) thinking of chartering a small 36- 38' cat so she can get the feel for the two engines along with maneuvering the wider boat and can gain confidence without other people around to watch.

Captain's Compass has 2 under $3K(we're not independently wealthy <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />) late season but not a lot of info on either. We've sailed a Lagoon but I don't know anything about an Admiral.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for one or the other of these two? Why? Additional thoughts on CC?

Any recommendations for another charter company with a boat in that size and price that we should look at?

Thinking of a May to early June charter.

Thanks for any and all feedback.
