My wife and I joined the Yacht Share this past spring and have spent several long weekends and weeks cruising around the Chesapeake Bay and Florida. We love the ability to enjoy the “boating life” without having to worry about any of the other issues including maintenance, cleaning, or potential repair issues.

So far we have enjoyed ports of call like Annapolis, Baltimore, St. Michael’s, Solomon’s Island, Miami, the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo (where we also enjoyed one of their fine golf courses), Little Palm Island, & Key West. All of this has come with worry free navigation courtesy of the full time Captain guiding us to each location. Exploring the shops and restaurants in each of the locations has been one of our most favorite experiences, but there is nothing like the relaxation we enjoy when we are on the open water headed to our next destination. Enjoying the 2007 Super Bowl weekend in Miami aboard the Sunseeker was a great experience too!

The actual boat including the salon and state rooms have been first class in terms of quality and comfort and the extra amenities like DirecTV and stereo sound system have been wonderful. Unless someone completely enjoys taking care of all the issues required to maintain a boat, both in terms of time and money, I truly believe this is the right concept to maximize the “boating life”!
