But I Don’t Have Three Weeks!

Chartering and Other Ways to Deal with Less Available Time

• If you keep your boat north of the Canal perhaps you could take a long weekend and get it up to Casco Bay or beyond. A second weekend would put you in Penobscot Bay. Join us as we head east to Acadia or as we return to Camden. Stay with us for as long as you can. Another long weekend could put you back in port.

• Charter a trawler or sailboat for a week. Find another couple to cut the price and double the fun! It will be the best week you ever had! Try these companies’ web sites. Their home ports are listed, but most have boats that can be picked up at several harbors along our route.

• Be a crewmember for someone else. Lots of us have the boat and the time; we just don’t have the crew. I will hold a mandatory captain’s meeting in May or June. Come and meet skippers looking for crew. Register on our Want to Crew? section. Also read the section about How to Change a Crew.
