Competence to charter

Am interested in chartering in BVI. Have taken US Power Squadron boating course & owned & sailed a: 20'' ''57 Chris Craft Sportsman, 19'' ''47 Lightning & a Compac 19''. Is it too ambitious to attempt bareboating a 30'' to 40'' sailboat? The cost of a bareboat course is about 1/2 of a charter but doing both may be too much.

My wife & daughter have sailed with me, but have only a mild interest in sailing(at this point) A learn to sail cruise may be the ticket, but i don''t want sailing to get in the way of them having an enjoyable vacation. Any tips from prior experience or ideas would be helpful.
kind regards,
bill
