We book owner's time on our boat which is with TMM. TMM's current policy is the person (TMM, booking agent or owner) responsible for booking the charter is also responsible for collecting the monies and paperwork. The paperwork (charter contract, resume, crew manifest, etc)for owner booked or tmm booked is identical. If a potential client of mine is concerned about my integrity, I encourage them to contact TMM to confirm my ownership and contract with TMM. I also direct them to the USCG documentation database to verify my ownership. However, the best peac of mind comes from past charterers who have purchased owners time directly from me and have offered to be a reference for concerns like this.

Cheers,

Tony
