How much is it to bareboat charter in the Carribean? anyone got a good deal there recently?

How long is a piece of string - size - motor or sail - duration etc would assist us in answering your query :encouragement:

2 to 4 weeks Mum dad 5 and a 6 year old. Is it possible to get something around 37/38ft? Monohull sailing is what I'm used to. But a cat would be cool

Just got back from a charter with these people. Very happy with the boat and service overall.

Agree. They guarantee not to be beaten on price and have a 'name your price' page. Follow the charter offers in the area you want for a while and then make an offer but not a silly offer.

Not a fan of barefoot myself.

It was a few years ago and we knew the age of the boat we chartered but it was sent out with multiple functional faults, e.g. Port engine won't do reverse, and when that went and then the second engine went altogether it took them 3 days before they could get parts and engineer to us. Took a lot of time out of a weeks charter. The boats general tattiness wasn't a problem and the price would have been right for an old but functioning boat. The sailing area was fantastic though and we've been back with other companies a few times.

I did have a slight smile when they came on board at the end of the week and one guy went straight through the rotten trampoline.

Agree they have old boats as do Footloose a Sunsail brand. In the Med with the exception of their Cats Kiriacoulis has the oldest boats. It's why they are so cheap.
