Best way to sail summers only?

I was wondering if you all could give me some advice. I was planning on saving up to eventually set out on some extended cruising with my family, but I’ve landed a job that has summers (June annd July) off. My ideal in this situation would be to be on a boat in the med for 8 weeks, then go back to working in the winter. I guess my question would be what is the best way to go about this? Should I just charter for 8 weeks, should I become a charter owner, or go into some sort of joint ownership deal with a private partner? Maybe buy my own boat and have it sit on dry dock when I’m not there? Thanks and I’d appreciate your two cents!

Re: Best way to sail summers only?

I will guarantee you that you will send less, and have more fun chartering.

You can charter in different places every year, (or each week in one year!) You will have no hassles with a boat, the boat will always be ready when you get there, you can sail on different boats.

If you can get away from the "I gotta own it" mentality, this is a use case where chartering will be better in just about every way.
