Just finished our 25th charter with TMM. Great boat (Sea Tiger) but the organization made the trip special. These folks are professional, time sensitive, thorough, and always have a smile on their faces. Minor problems were fixed quickly and with clear communication. Barney has not aged at all

Barney has aged! Its just that he ages at a rate about a third of what the rest of us do! All you have to do is look at the picture of him sailing that is in the office, and you'll see! I just hope I age half as well as he does!

TMM is a great group of people who definitely know their business and excel at it! Now you just have to do like Wes, Melanie, and I have done and put a boat in their fleet! lol

Keep Smiling!!!

Always hear great things about TMM. Do they do BB and crewed?

TMM can arrange a captain, but not part of their routine to provide a cook, as this would really be transitioning to a fully crewed boat (Cook would need to do the provisioning, etc. This also would eliminate one cabin available for guests on most boats. Simple meals arranged around the grill is our M.O. We pre-season meats and so meal prep is minimum.

Also for the additional cost a cook would require, I would eat out more.

I don't think I have met the OP(captaugie), but glad he enjoyed Sea Tiger (which is my yacht). As a second time owner of a boat in TMM Fleet, I can attest to the satisfaction of TMM Charters by owners as well as charterers.

I really like hearing all the positive things about TMM!

I'm so glad to have our first charter with them later this year, after having a fairly rough experience with one of the other companies a couple years back.

I agree with Peter - Barney has some kind of magic potion that has his aging rate drastically slowed. He needs to share it! We are so very thankful we found TMM - they take such excellent care of our boat, charter guests - and us!!!

And….we have the BEST group of owners.

Ain't that the truth...??? And I am only slightly biased - before I bought a boat, I spoke to a few owners who happily answered all my questions (and I had more than a couple), then after purchasing (and before the delivery) met a few at the Annapolis boat show, and had more questions answered, and since have met a bunch of owners - and had a blast! Still waiting to meet the first bad apple of anyone who is associated with TMM (knock on wood).

Can you tell we like owning and sailing with TMM?

This is a joy to hear..I remember Mike and Jean Beswick being happy with them and the lovely "Jeannius". Right now I have a guest staying who just paid over $1 mill for a boat ..is chartering with Capt and cook for about $25000 per week and says he is losing his shirt! I told him he might consider TMM!!

It’s hard to make money in the charter business but if he is losing money now he is in for a rude awakening when the next black swan event hits!
