So where is it? Not USA as no hurricanes; not Caribbean as too many facilities.
We refer to Western Australia (Swan River, Fremantle and Perth to some …but there are many other places).
Isn’t it a bit far away? Most people don’t realise that Perth is only 8998 miles from London and if you fancy a stop over in Mauritius it’s on the way.
What type of boat is best?
With the low cost fuel and so many places to visit a sports motor cruiser is the preferred choice; especially as this permits bridge clearance for the Swan River.
How do I charter one? Like most places in the world you cannot (unless it’s a skippered one). The answer is a boat share which in Australia is incredibly inexpensive, at only £539 per week for a SeaRay Sundancer. The saving in hotels alone pays for this. Of course with a boat share there is a capital investment, in this case, £14,850 but you get most this back (less depreciation) when you finish.
Interested? I am offering my fifth share in Sea>Rapier having used it now for three cruises, usually for four weeks at a time. Last year I had it all over Christmas and the New Year (where else could you get a vacation at this cost for that period). I get a long summer window of use by letting the local Aussie sharers have it the rest of the year. So can you.
