I have chartered a 2016 Nautitech Open 46 from Oct 7-14 with a
skipper / Instructor from Pula,
Croatia. I am similar to you. I have limited sailing experience and I am planning to buy a cat. If you have interest in sharing expenses + equal personal attention from the instructor + oppotunity to equally be hands on sailing the
boat let me know. The total cost for everything on the boat not including
food will be $1500 each per person for a private
cabin or $800 per person double occupancy. There will be no more than 6 crew + 1
skipper. Each crew
member or couple will have have his own private
cabin and
head. The skipper will sleep in a crew cabin in the bow. The trip will be a balance between fun and
learning. If you have interest, let me know we can discuss further, get acquainted, etc. Regards, P. Augustus
