We really enjoy ORION in the TMM fleet. You can see her sail-orion.com. You can't go wrong with anything in the TMM fleet. sailtmm.com Enjoy
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

Definitely recommend talking to TMM (sailtmm.com). Wonderful boats, always well maintained, and a great staff.

Take a look at Voyage Charters. All of their catamarans come standard with air conditioning, ice makers, water makers and underwater lights. Small family owned boutique business with excellent customer service and fantastic crew. www.voyagecharters.com or call (480) 378-3984 to get a quote.

We rented a catamaran with captain from Owner Time ( sponsor of TTOL ) . The boat was spotless and well maintained. Jenny was amazing to work with and the price couldn't be beat! We will be using them again for our trip next year. Something to mention here. I believe Jenny deals primarily with owners time from Dream Yachts. I am in the process of selling and purchasing a new charter boat. In dealing with Dream Yachts for a purchase I specifically inquired about selling owners time since it is a important revenue component to me. They stated they do not allow the sale of owners time and if they catch owners doing it they will cancel the charter. This may be a recent change to their charter contracts perhaps because of Jenny’s business and current boats may be allowed sale of time. I don’t know if it’s a change or owners are selling guest time against their contract. In any case I would want full assurances any week purchased is allowed under the owners contract. G

G "Owner Time Charter" is a broker (Presumably at a commission). Not to be confused with "direct from owner".

find the couples. and then call Moorings or Sunsail. Will you need captain and crew?
There are a lot of options besides Moorings and Sunsail. Consider TMM Charters which has impressed many here (as well as others). Consider 1 of the many sponsors here on TTOL that are direct from owners. Many of these boats have custom features that you will not find on the "corporate" vessels. And the bases usually have more personal/better customer service.

Following... We are exploring the option of including a captain on our next charter as well. Try to get a resume and a photo of the captain before the charter. Remember the person will be living in your house for a week.
