Boat Swapping with other Yacht Owners?

[Pelagic]

I have heard of this and checked the web to see a few commercial sites.

I don’t know if they act as a booking agent as I would prefer to discuss cruising logistics, experience details/(with or without a local crew as helper?) , cruise suggestions etc... directly with a potential boat swapper

I hate anyone getting in the middle between the 2 beneficial owners as you need to develop a mutual trust.

1/ Has anyone ever done this with other similar valued or sized boats?

2/ With or without an Agency?

3/ Would you do it again?

I also wonder…. Is this perhaps a section to be identified in CF to bring likeminded cruisers together so they can PM each other with details?

Sounds like a great way to enjoy other areas and meet new friends

Just some thoughts.
