    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Qualified couple (age 50) looking for a 6-month lease from 4/15/14-10/15/14. Ideally, we'd love a trawler- a Nordhavn, Seline, Grand Banks, Kadey-Krogen, Fleming, DeFever or Tug ranging from 42-55 ft, to cruise between Seattle and Alaska.

Will also trade our 4bdm/4bath-5000 sf million dollar home in Whitefish, Montana (just outside of Glacier National Park) for your boat.

We'll pay the lease and maintenance, insurance, moorage costs.

Husband is professional Gulfstream pilot with 30 years experience. Wife has 25 years experience as captain on a 48' boat in the Caribbean.

Yacht must have two staterooms/two baths minimum.

Any serious parties please contact me at gail@inzflow.com. Summer lease for a portion 2013 is also a possibility.

If you don't have a boat for lease, do you know someone who does? Most charter companies only lease for a week, and we need it for 6 months. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!
 
You might contact brokers in your area hoping to find a seller that has the boat on the market for a few years.Lots of expense , no Lookie Lous.

The boats operation will help all the equipment on board and if the boat is sold to the insurance company during the charter period the owner will be delighted.

Large items usually rent for 1% of the value per day,less per week,

a guess 4 months will probably cost 20% or more of the value of the boat .

Plus insurance for international travel is no bargain.

Might be cheaper to purchase a far lesser boat , self inshure , and then just walk away.

Let me see if I have this picture correct. They own a Million dollar + house, He flies a Corporate jet for a living, she Captained a 48' boat for several years and you think they may want to show up at the dock with a derelict, run down boat that someone hasn't been able to sell so that they can save a few thousand buck.

Really?:rofl:
 
No I think no one in their right mind is going to hand over a big buck boat for months on end without a huge charter cost.

The question of a cheap boat is hardly a derelict run down boat , just a far less pretensious boat.

The LRC advertised on this board for $150 K probably could be sold rapidly for $120K after the trip

Which is more important , the voyage ,or how folks you will never know look at you as you strut down the fuel dock from a rental?

If a big boat of huge capacity is necessary iI believe it would be far easier to arrange a captained charter , where the owner could at least expect the boat back in good condition.

The usual hassle , lack of total privacy may be the only answer.

Sell the house, and buy the boat. No one said it was easy.

Someone had posted a similar request on the Selene board a while ago for an East Coast boat but AFAIK there were no takers. It's a tough situation in the case where something goes wrong.

Our boat is in charter in Anacortes, WA. A couple of years ago we were asked by our charter company if we would like to have a 3 month long charter for someone wanting to go to Alaska. They were offering to pay around $40,000 for the 3 months. I wasn't interested, but I think a guy with a 49 Meridian wanted the deal. So, you can check with charter companies, some people would jump at a 6 month charter if the dollars were right.
