Yacht-Swapping - This Week's Great Idea
You've heard of house-swapping? Maybe even done it? What about boat-swapping? You've invested serious money in your boat, but with the limited time available to most boat owners, you probably never cruise far from home. If you want a change of location, you have to abandon the boat you love and pay to use a charter boat - Enter Boat-Swapping and a new firm called 'SeeMySea'.
'It’s been so successful with houses - what about boats?'
.
If you sail in the Caribbean, why not try the Med for a holiday - or if you're in Norway, what about the warm waters of the South Pacific? If you're in New Zealand, what about a holiday along the French coast? When you boat-swap, you'll even get the inside information - the 'must-sees', the hazards - about the location you are about to sail - from locals who know the area. Andit a low-cost option for sailing anywhere in the world!
The idea sounds so good, one has to wonder why it hasn't been done long ago. 
SeeMySea creates a link between boat owners who wish to enter a swap system, worldwide. To join the SeeMySea network and become a member, boat owners must subscribe on a yearly basis.
Members can exchange boats anytime, anywhere, for any length of time (from an extended weekend to several weeks), and as often as you wish.
