Free Publicity for Charter Boats

Because we’re wordsmiths by profession, it’s only natural that we love words. But not all words. In fact, there are a few that we really hate, such as "comprehensive." Why? Because every time we attempt to put out a comprehensive list of something — such as the so-called comprehensive list of all Bay Area charter boats which appears in every April edition of Latitude 38 — we manage to leave out one or two newcomers.

We don’t want that to happen again this year, so if you are new to the Bay Area’s charter fleet — and are running a legit operation — we’d love to hear from you.

As you’ll see in the charter listings that reside on our website year-round, we poll all the sailing schools and list every sailboat available for bareboat rentals, plus all crewed sailboats which carry at least six passangers. If you’d like your crewed boat listed we’ll need the following info:

• boat name
• brief description of boat and its history
• passenger capacity
• where berthed
• available for what type of charters
• phone and website

Running these listings in April — timed with the Strictly Sail Pacific boat show (April 12-14) — is our way of giving the fleet a free shot of publicity. But we only do it once a year, so waste no time in contacting us.
