As far as getting off the dock by 11. It is possible. We've done it. We are also owners with Moorings though so our check out process is very quick. I typically know the boat we're on, where everything is and have gone through it before we brief. Only time we've been later is if we'd had issues with something missing or broken and had to wait.
So, if you are able to do the chart briefing (if required) the night before and either go over the boat thoroughly yourself and either do the boat briefing the night before or as early as they can do it, then you'd probably have a good shot at getting out by 11. Although this also depends a lot on the charter company.
Hey Maytrix; based on your experience, we have a Mooring's boat charterted as of the 4th but won't be arriving until that PM (around 4 or so)and we are planning to leave the next morning. (it was cheaper for us to rent for 7 days then to do 6 days and a sleep aboard, in case you are wondering why we would rent a Cat for a day we wont be using) I am hoping to get the briefing the night we arrive and go through our checklist, orientation and provisioning that afternoon and evening.
Based on your experience, what is the likelihood of being able to do this?
ALso do you have any experience with Mooring captains? was hoping to request a Captain for a day to give us some tips and pointers and help the rest of the trip run smoothly. anyone that you can recommend?
Thanks!
