We have great luck with ORION. A sponsor on this forum. Great owner, and love Captain Earl. Sleeps eight and a Captain comfortably. Good Luck.
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

Years ago, on our first charter in the BVI's, we chartered a cat from TMM with a "training captain" He was with us for the week, but also let my husband take the helm as much as he wanted. It was a great introduction to sailing a large vessel. We've been back multiple times since then (and completed our ASA training) but having that first experience was great. Another recommendation for the vessel ORION. We loved the boat - I believe it's still in charter with TMM. Yes it is. You can also contact Mark directly for owners time.

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.
