Brady,

Look up Emerald Coast Yachts. Click on charters and then on weekend adventure for a good article on these Pensacola cruising grounds. I have never cruised or chartered a boat, but the wife and I would like to try this if we can find the time.

Hijack: I sail twice per week as crew on a j24. I am not the driver, but another crew and I take the boat out without the skipper. We can keep it upright in 20 knots ect., so we can handle the sailing quite well. I can read charts somewhat, but would not consider myself competent. We sail the boat to the dock and rarely even get the motor out. In other words I can sail fairly well, but am ignorant about cruising. Do you folks think that a charter company would charter to someone like me? Would I need to hire a captain and for how long?
