Have you ever owned a trawler or other boat and are an experienced sailor? A great money saving idea is to do a bareboat charter. This would allow you more flexibility and privacy. There are, however certain qualifications that the chartering company would require you to fulfill.

If you are not an experienced sailor or just want to relax and let the captain do the sailing there are plenty of excellent captains willing to sail your trawler for you. You will be able to enjoy the pleasures of a boat cruise without having to operate the vessel yourself. The captain would retain responsibility for the vessel. There is usually an advanced payment required to book any trawler charter.

The captain assumes responsibility for the trawler and getting you to your locations safely. The captain is quite knowledgeable of the area he will be navigating and can inform you of the many sights to see and activities to do. He can let you know what restaurants are good at the various ports of call.

In the Pacific Northwest, for example, you would sail around the San Juan Islands and explore the Puget Sound. You would keep watch for bears, whale, deer and eagles. You catch your own fresh crab, gather muscles and oysters, bird watch, fish or just relax.

If you do not want to go ashore and dine at one of the many restaurants, you can use the fully equipped galley. You also have the choice of leaving your comfortable stateroom and stay ashore one evening at one of the charming island hotels, at your own expense, of course.

Trawler charter prices would normally include: your fully equipped diesel trawler yacht; with linens and towels; a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain; a fully equipped galley; boat fuel; and dock fees. Meals ashore and taxes are extra. You have full use of the galley while aboard. You may bring your own food and beverages aboard for the cruise.
