Hi all,
We are two couples interested in chartering a skipper-only
catamaran for a week in either the Abacos,
Exumas, or BVIs. We are envisioning the trip as a "tour" of various beach bars and seafood shacks, and therefore would be interested in having only a few
meals onboard the
boat (maybe 2 dinners and 2 lunches during the course of a week). Is that doable on a skippered
charter? If so, does the
skipper cook and/or provision the
boat, or would that be our responsibility? The best cook among us would have trouble with anything beyond cold cuts, so this is a real concern!
If we would be in charge of the handful of
meals, is it customary and/or polite to prep those meals for the
skipper as well?
If the above is not really doable and the only alternative is a crewed
charter, are such charters generally flexible with respect to meals? Mostly I'm seeing crewed charters for which the rate includes all or nearly all meals onboard the boat, which is a deal-breaker for us. Any guidance as to what the "norms" are with respect to meals on skippered/crewed
boats would be very much appreciated!
