Do I have the experience for bareboat?
I had 5 years of sailing my 25'' on Lake Erie before chartering in the BVIs. Depending how confident you are, just contact a couple of the companies through their US bases, return their sailing resume'' and discuss it with them. Usually the most you may be required to do is to take a captain with you for the first day or two ($150 / day). You may want to consider a fun option of learning on your first trip. Most companies there offer some 1 week schools on 45'' - 50'' boats with other students and a captain. You get all the experience and certifications you need that way. I would be happy to answer your questions on how to go about it.
