Hello,
We are in
contract on a 45 ft
catamaran and the
insurance company will require a licensed
skipper for the first 40 hours. To that end we plan to move the
boat from
Puerto Rico via the
Bahamas to
Florida, combining some
vacation into the
delivery. Probably around a month all told. This is way more than the required 40 hours but with the right
skipper it should be fun and educational.
To that end we are looking for recommendations for a skipper, if you have an idea what this would cost it would be helpful We have chartering experience on similar
boats so we are not complete newbies.
There are a couple
delivery skippers who post to this forum who repeatedly post disparaging remarks about the owners and how doing a delivery with a new owner is the worst thing in the world. These are the people we specifically do not want regardless how qualified they are.
The
boat is well equipped and if the gods are kind it should be a pleasant experience.
thank you
