Hey guys - first post here. I'm looking for Skippers/private boat owners who run charters from their own boats. Do you know anyone?
Thanks so much smile

Others might have some personal referrals, I recommend an established broker service like Ed Hamilton. http://www.ed-hamilton.com/


I always take life with a grain of salt. Plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila

We've had great times with Mark and ORION. Can't say enough good things about his operation. His site is advertised here on the forum.


I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

I second Malcolm's suggestion of Dirk & Sandy and Catatonic 500. The flying bridge will give you a panoramic view, and they will take very good care of you. Great skipper, great chef, great boat!

I think you have left out one important piece of information - how big a boat? How many people? Mono or Cat? Great recommendations above though!

Third on this recommendation - Dirk and Sandy are the very best.
Contact Sandy at Sandy@coolcatcharters.com

Coolcatcharters.com for pics of the boat.

Kristian and Marriane own and run Breanker. It's a classic catamaran and they are top notch hosts. We're headed down shortly for our 5th trip with them. I really can't say enough about the wonderful experience they provide! In addition to the expected things like great cooking, comfortable quarters, and amazing local knowledge....they are expert seamen with 25 years experience chartering in the BVI's. Safety is first in their books, and I sleep well every night on the boat knowing that I am in their good hands! www.breanker.com

How many people? When are you looking for regarding dates? Flexible or set dates?
