Captain needed
- Visiting couple would like to hire a captain to spend two days with us on our 2006 Mainship 400, reviewing boat handling and docking. We anticipate being with the captain 4-6 hours per day. Rates negotiable depending on experience and references, of course we would want someone with experience on this or very similar vessel. We would need someone the week of July 8.
