1193.0. "Nova Scotia chartering" by VAOA01::YURKOVICH (NEVER TOO LATE TO HAVE A HAPPY CHILDHOOD) Tue May 02 1989 00:39

    Does anyone know of a bare boat charterer in the Halifax, Nova Scotia
    area?  I will be up there in late August and would like a 38-45
    foot sailboat for about 7-9 days.  I seem to be having a great deal
    of difficulty in finding a charter company or individual who can
    fulfill my request.  
    
    Any suggestions??

There probably aren't (m)any charter companies in those parts, as the
season is too short to get much return, and the risks associated with so
much fog, current, and relatively sparse logistical and safety support are
much greater than further south. 

Try John G. Alden in Boston (Commercial Wharf); they seem to have an 
extensive list of yachts for charter all over the world.  While most are 
crewed, they might have information on a bareboat or two there.  If not,
they may have further insight into your chances and where best to look
next.
