I want to buy a small boat, and was wondering what a good model would be. I’m not planning on sail around the world, but i want something big enough that four people could stay on for a couple of days.

Thanks
Thanks for the replys. Im not looking for a sailboat. I’m mainly wanting it just to cruise up the tennesse river maybe take it to the coast everynow and then.

I served 4 years on a Coast Guard ship and I am about to finish college. I want to get back on the water, preferably on board a mega-yacht. I have 3.5 years of navigation/operations experience and I would like to start out as a 3rd of maybe even a 1st mate. Is this possible?

How much am i looking at if i wanted to rent a party room on a yacht for about 100 people for roughly 5 hours?
Without catering services vs. with?

I want to rent a boat or yacht for a party for at least 50 people. Where can I find a rental place in the Tampa, Florida area?

I wanted to do something different so after brainstorming , we came up with the idea of having my party on a yacht. Approximately 30 guests.
I live in Los Angeles.
Need it for about 8 hours ( day hours preferably)

please help…BDay is in June!

Little something my dad was wondering. Ours is registered to Cold Spring Harbour, NY, and the owner (dad) is a US citizen, technically an expatriat, and not a British citizen. He would like to fly the red ensign from the stern, but the bloke at the yacht club in NY said he didn’t really know the protocol of the UK.

When I see all the huge yachts in places like St. Barts or Antigua, I always wonder who owns them. Where can I find out who owns these yachts? For example, the yacht named, "Chevy Toy" or the yacht named s/y Drumbeat.

It’s a 1986 with gas engines. I need to extend my range a little bit. The answers can be for either stainless steel or aluminum.

Which can evoke genuine-like feelings of being there and will deliver max possible amount of details. Maybe some action or drama to spice up the mix.
I need to make a web site quickly, don’t have time and money to try by myself.

My fiance and I are considering getting married in Tahiti. We want to charter a yacht and stay on it for 7 – 10 days. It will be just the two of us

I have heard that you can charter a yacht complete with captain and small crew. Does anyone know how to go about this, what the cost is, if it’s worthwhile?

We’re also open to other destinations if anyone has a good idea. Some we’ve discussed are Greece and Spain.

Thanks for any information!
