Re: Chartering with older teenagers/young adults
Hello Phanakakakakpan, told you I would stop lurking some time!
During a 3 week trip to the Ionian in sept, we ended up with two 18 year old boys on board, and the skipper and I were a bit apprehensive. They turned out to be great fun, and really enjoyed it, with no chav tendancies. We did involve them as much as possible with the sailing and helm, and within a few days, they had adjusted to the different pace and lifestyle.
What they did not like was that most of the bars are restaurants, and there were few "drinking pubs" apart from Nidri. What this really boiled down to was that their chances of going "out on the pull" were diminished!
