I have used Seabbatical as charterer, owners agent/captain for a boat in the fleet and I also have sailed with the owner.
The ownership is not BVI based, but there is a very good local boat manager. Many of the boats are older charter boats and some lack some of the cool features of the newer boats. With that said, this is more like using your boat at home for a month. Great pricing, but you probably will have some work around on issues.
Bottom line, would I charter from Ron again? Yes. It is hard to find a charter company that will fill the niche that he is. He gets several 4-6 month charters a year. Much cheaper to charter than to purchase.

A few years ago We met a family ending a three month charer with Seabbaticl at Pirates, we Talked to kids and parents. They said it was a fantastic experience. Kids did a semester at sea, schoolwork and read lots of books, not much internet and didn't miss it after a while.
Parents said boat was obviously not new, had a few minor issue, for three months, it was to expected and as experienced cruisers, nothing they weren't used to. T hey loved it and the kids wholeheartedly endorsed.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.
