Chartering your boat

[rogerlaura]

Anyone have any experience with Catamaran Company out of Tortola? We do, and we'd be interested in your experience with having your boat with their charter fleet. We had our Lagoon 380s with them for about 1 year.

good enough service....just. no huge problems. i think we chartered a Lagoon 38 as a matter of fact.

why do you ask? We are considering buying a boat and might put in charter if we do.

We are hoping to talk to others who had their boat in charter with Catco. The Lagoon is a great boat. Do your research re: chartering carefully.

rogerlaura,

I am confused by your messages.

What was your experience with the Catamaran Company? Good, bad, somewhere in between?

[rogerlaura]

a learning experience; as one architect once put it, the devil is in the details. be crystal clear re charges, expectations, etc

[YOGAO]

Ok, tease, tease, tease...

Unless you want to provide some specifics about your experience, I'm outta here.

We are uncomfortable posting specifics. Just know to ask about all charges the owner is responsible for when the boat is chartered. we were surprised by the invoices we received.
