Venture
We did the charter thing with a Beneteau 36CC, beautiful boat and sails well. As for the charter program, there were some major flaws...suffice it to say they may "offset" your mortgage, but they don't do a thing for your insurance (try 3 or 4 times more since you charter), your dockage (about twice the going rate), wear and tear (and there will be plenty of that), or equipment ( I bought 4 complete sets of dock
lines the first month, as "they left them somewhere" or "I did not know they stayed with the boat" - and they won't upset a good customer by asking them to pay for them. You will eat a lot of things with the charter and at best you may knock a few percent off the boat payment if you are lucky.
I would look elsewhere as NO BOAT IS AN INVESTMENT.
