ag,

you have a good point as to getting the word out to the charterers in the BVI....

We have found that there may be a certain vessel that we like, but to fit our use for two weeks into the schedule to get that particular boat really
involves a lot of factors. So far, we have not been able to do that.

Problems "

Other bare boaters schedules, and the vessel being out on charter , maintenance problems, different start dates and returns, owners taking their boats out of
charter, and different vessels coming into charter..

Also, after returning from the last BVI bare boat charter, listening to what the dock staff may have to say about a vessel that they really liked. Last trip, we were
talking strory and visitng with the Conch Staff, actually all of them from the office to the systems check out personnel to the dock staff. We learned that we may like their Beneteau 37, so we took a look at her. Very nice. We would not have had a clue, if we did not open up a conversation with the staff personnel.

In all of our bare boat charters, we never had the same vessel twice.....we get what they have available...in the length and type of boat for our desired start and stop dates.

You have a good point on getting info out on the owners upgrades. Maybe after the new additions, they could add those upgrades on the company's web site that describes the various vessels ammenities. . This would probably work with the smaller family owned charter outfits....doubt it would be feaseable with the large corporations due to the huge amount of vessels that they have in their fleets.
