OUR SAIL BOAT

In 2018, we established ETC Excursions, LLC. in order for us to charter our 2018 Fontaine Pajot Saona 47 catamaran named S/V Go Big Oar Go Home while we were winding down our careers & preparing for retirement.

S/V Go Big Oar Go Home was designed to be a full-time live aboard sailing catamaran & not just your typical charter boat.  

Over four seasons, we have learned a lot (good & bad) about chartering our catamaran.  In November 2022, we sold our catamaran to allow for us to spend more time traveling in our motor coach.

We are more than happy to share our lessons learned on the following:

     - Business Yacht Ownership

     - Yacht Commissioning Process

     - Dos and Don’ts when outfitting a charter boat

     - Selecting a Charter Management Company

     - What Yacht Brokers don’t tell you about chartering your Yacht

     - Annual Cost / Maintenance of owning a charter boat

Please reach out to us at Info@Chase-The-Dream.com with your questions.  We are more than happy to share our experiences.
