There are great things about both - while I love being on the water, waking up somewhere different on the boat each morning, and the "every day is an excursion" life, I also appreciate a good night's sleep each night, a land shower, and spending time getting to know the locals. I visit JVD for a week+ twice a year and love coming back on island to visit with people who have become friends over the years. I can always island-hop via ferries smile

That said, anytime I'm able to get a crew together so that a charter makes financial sense, I do that too! But it's not for everyone smile
