I need a captain for a 2 week cruise through the Baltic Sea between Rostock (GER) and Stockholm (SWE) in oktober 2005 for a Drettmann Elegance 74 (New Line). There will be 5 children, 6, 9, 9, 13 and 16 years. The client and his wife will spend only a few days aboard, so what we need is more a nanny . Any childloving captains out here? Kind regards Leveller
Hi Leveller, I once sailed these waters on a Swan 72 with five girls in their twenties and that I would love to do again! But kids, sorry. My best advice would be to drive when they sleep and then drop them at every McDonalds along the coast during daytime...
As it would be a transferring trip without passengers normaly my father would do, but he had the same idea in mind as you... but this is not what the client wants. Leveller
I´ll appreciate that! If you will have problems in finding this captain/nanny, I might be able to get a charter yacht captain for you since october is pretty off-season here... but probably not without a stewardess...
Just for piece of mind... taking care of a yacht underway and at the same time feed and overlook the safety of five kids is a little too much I think!
Charter I might be able to help. Just finished 47 days with kids 7 to 15 years old as many as 6 at a time . The minimum was 3 . I have now regained my sanity and wish to loose it again
One Captain ?!!!!! Sounds like you need Two captains. Thats a 24 hour task just keeping up with the kids!!! If you find a first, I may be interested in 2nd with cooking included.
