Hi Everyone, I am looking for advice on the best way to get into bareboat chartering.
Background:
I have a group of monhaul sailors with various sailing experiences - rail meat to 300-mile racers with no ocean experience.
We want to start bareboat catamaran chartering so I believe our first step is to get our ICC designation - correct?
To achieve this I am thinking of a 1-week liveaboard training course in the Caribbean, and based on the number of people probably 2 /3 boats.
Questions:
1) Is this 1-wk liveaboard training the best approach?
2) What are your recommendations on:
a) Chartering company recommendations ( nautilu, Go Sail Virgin Is, TheMoorings, etc)
b) Which location? I hear a lot of people recommend BVI but it is not the easiest location to get to.
Looking forward to your thoughts....
