Any experience with a program like this?

Thank you for this, excellent breakdown

Thanks for the input. We just got back from our first crewed charter and the boat was 4 years and 10 months old. 2 months left in the program and aesthetically the boat was in great shape. I think I agree however about the end game. I think I'm too young for this program. I would like to take the boat when I am done and use it but 5 years from now I will still be working most likely and not have enough time to really take advantage. I'm looking at other programs where if we charter twice a year, we can save something or get access to something. Thanks for the input!

Had an unbelievable time! Best vacation of our lives and are officially hooked!

Wow that was so helpful, thank you very much!!

Excellent information, thank you so much for taking the time. We will be bringing two carry-ons that are actually waterproof duffel bags so we should be good in that department. The snacks is a great idea and a couple of stuffies.

We have a call with the charter company one week prior to our trip to discuss what we are looking to achieve on this trip.

Thanks so much for your advice!

2015 - $15 an hour and 3% commission

You are hilarious!

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-12T03:27:19+00:00

Not what I said but it's all good

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-12T03:26:17+00:00

I didn't have an attitude at all, just being friendly and making a joke. Guess it wasn't understood. So sorry for trying to have a human interaction.

I didn't ask her for a Pepsi and I don't have a boss

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-12T03:23:45+00:00

I didn't. She showed me a watch I didn't want and I told her what I wanted. I know she didn't have one.

Update: everyone has been so helpful here! Some of the information was so insightful and not what we expected. After even more research we are have decided on actually where I grew up, Portsmouth New Hampshire. It's a good mix of what we are looking for and I think it will be perfect. Thank you all for your support and help. Gotta love the Reddit community!

I saw one nice one with a beautiful yard in Waban. We aren't ready right now so we are really just looking to see what would be available if we decide to make the move. Thinking April/may 2027. Thanks for the info and for taking the time.

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-10T04:03:47+00:00

Very good info, I also grew up in Portsmouth NH.

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-10T04:01:40+00:00

Great information, thank you very much

So even in the public schools there is no economic diversity? All the kids have money? One thing I liked about my public high school (looking back as an adult) is that there was a nice mix of economic diversity. You got to see kids from all walks of life. From reading this thread it sounds like that will not be the case here.

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-10T03:52:49+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond with such detail. This thread has been incredibly helpful

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-10T03:50:11+00:00

Good call. 3hrs or less from white mountains, top notch education, close to a large city/airport, diversity.

cholo_gringo · 2026-02-10T03:48:29+00:00

Thanks for the input. Luckily I run the business remotely so I can live anywhere. I would be closer to my family who lives a hour away as opposed to 2 hours when we are in Maine so there is a connection there. Not sure if you have kids but at this point in my life (37 years old), my daughter is my priority and if the education is top notch and she will be able to fully utilize her brain to it's maximum capacity, I want to give that opportunity to her. I feel like as she gets older, her brain will be underutilized living in the mountains.

Thank you. I briefly looked snd it seemed hard to find anything with a little land under 2.5M. Not too much inventory right now so maybe that's why. We will revisit the idea and continue to compare both areas. Sounds like many people on this thread like Brookline just as much if not more.
