Ahoy, I lived aboard and ran term charters for many years but have recently moved back to the States to help out parents in their later years. I still captain a few charters per year for folks like yourselves.
I can often do this for less than other captains, even including my travel expenses, because I just love it and am willing to do it for very little. Happy to do half board also....I cook a number of meals and help out
with provisioning, also can assist with a bareboat charter and can generally get you a better rate. Would be happy to discuss with you when you're ready.
