| 963.1 | Murray Yacht Charters - Portsmouth, RI | MOORED::GERSTLE | | Tue Aug 30 1988 09:32 | 16 |
|
If you like the Rhode Island area, you might try Murray Yacht Charters
in Portsmouth. They are located about 6 miles north of Newport
at the East Passage Yachting Center, formerly Coggeshall Marina,
more formerly Bend Boat Basin.
From there - the Elizabeth Islands, Block, Long Island, Conneticut,
Cape Cod Canal, etc. Also there is some very nice day sailing to
be found right in Narragansett Bay.
I have no personal experience with Murray, but know of others who
have been happy.
Enjoy,
Carl

| You might try calling Wells Yachts in Marblehead. They do charters
and run a Sailing school as well.

| Both Murray and Wells offer Pearsons from 28' to 36'. We took a
learn to charter course through Murray Management and found the
boats to be very clean and well cared for. There is more parking
in East Passage as well but I think it may be harder to provision.

Just out of (perhapse Naive) curiosity, how much does it cost
to charter a boat like that for a weekend?

| I'm not sure what the current rates are. Three or four years ago a week
charter was $600 to $800 for a 30 to 35 foot boat. A weekend might be
around half that. One reason for this is that the insurance surcharge on
some policies (such as the one we had) was the same for any charter
seven days or less.

charter

| Mary,
I'd like to know what other responses you get. I've been doing
a lot of chartering (around 37-47 foot) in Annapolis, Vancouver,
Newport, Boston, and now I'm looking at the Virgin Islands or
Greece. Any other locations/names that come up I'd like to
see.
Thanks

| re -.1
If you're looking at Greece, I chartered last year from Minotaur
Charters in Nidri on Levkas island. Several Aloa 27's, a couple
of Jeaneau's and a strange ketch. Good value.
