Chinook is a well-equipped cruising sailboat, located in picturesque Narragansett Bay. She's a loaded cruiser, with lots of extras to make your voyage a snap. Bimini and dodger, step-through transom to the swim platform, upgraded electronics (including ipad navigation software with integrated AIS), BBQ grill...pretty much anything you would need to enjoy your time on the water.
With access to all of New England's sailing grounds, you're sure to have a great time! There's great fishing (stripers, bluefish, fluke, tautog), swimming, and sights (Newport, Bristol, Block Island, Cape Cod islands, etc). This is probably the best sailing grounds to be found on the east coast!
All rentals MUST BE FOR A MINIMUM OF 7 DAYS (This is not a joke. Please do not bother contacting me if you are seeking a shorter rental period).
Proper proof of keelboat sailing experience (US Sailing or ASA bare-boat certification or USCG captain's license) is also required. Additionally, anyone interested in captaining the boat single-handed must have sufficient experience sailing boats of this size single-handedly (my discretion). In addition to Boatbound's renter requirements, a standard waiver from liability (like you would sign with a charter company) is also requested as part of the rental process.
A non-refundable cleaning fee of $50 is also required, and fuel use will be re-imbursed by the renter after completion of the charter.
