Haylands,
If you decide to charter, why not take another couple with you to defray costs? Chances are pretty good that you will have guests onboard for short periods anyway, so why not try that out? That being said, I feel that chartering is nothing like being on your own boat cruising, although it might help you figure out which features you simple must have, and those that you can live without. Good luck with your search.
Cheers, Bill
