So, planning ahead, looking at May 2021, bareboat charter for the 5th trip.

Question: what is the benefit of using a broker? We've always contracted directly with the charter outfit.

Oh, another question: we've always chartered during high season. For May, can/should we wait till the last minute to secure a boat and maybe a deal? The reason I ask is if travel is still restricted, hate to have a deposit floating around (floating....lol)
