Motor Cruiser Bareboat Charter- South or East Coast (next summer onwards)

[vjmehra]

Can anyone suggest an RYA training school that offers a Motor Cruiser for bareboat charter on the South or East coast?

I appreciate its quite rare, but I've seen a couple of schools that do, so long as you do your Day Skipper training with them, which is fine with me as I've done the sail version, but not yet the Power one, so was planning to do that anyway!

With that in mind, I've found Mendez Marine and Solent Boat Training, both of which seem to offer good packages for a Storebro Royal Cruiser 31 & Sealine SC29 respectively, however I just wanted to check if there are any other options (not that there is anything wrong with the packages either of them have on offer, I just want to see as many options as possible)!

If anyone has any suggestions it would be great to hear (I'm thinking about next summer onwards, rather than this year, if that makes any difference at all)!

5 star marine might be worth a try. I know they gave a coded F37 and F43 but don't know their requirements for bareboat charter.

5 Star Marine are unable to offer Bareboat Charter for Day/Coastal Skipper's, however I was incredibly impressed with their e-mail responses, I've never had a sailing school reply so swiftly!

That aside, I did manage to find 2 more (I haven't been in touch, just going from their websites), I thought I'd compile a list in case it helps anyone else (and of course if anyone has any suggestions please let me know)!
