We are considering purchase of a PDQ34 next year or early 2008. We would first like to charter one. Does anyone have any information about charters for newer boats. We are thinking May-June in the Chesapeake, Florida, or USVI.

Two couples from our yacht club here in middle Tennessee charter with the outfit on the Chesapeake and reported having a wonderful time. If I remember correctly, the charter company has 2004 version boats with the 75 horse engines.

We have a 2004 with the 100 hp, and we strongly recommend the larger engines. After breakin we have been able to cruise at 18 mph (flat water) and average about 2.7 mph

Hollar if you have questions about the PDQ 34. We brought ours home from Canada via the Great Lakes and had a blast. See Passagemaker, October 2005 or the PDQ website for the full story. We're always happy to bore unsuspecting folks with our tales.

unfortunately, i don't have my boating magazines here. there used to be a company based in annapolis which had mv34 for charter. they moved the boats to punta gorda, fl for the winter.

also, i thought that i read someone would have a new one for charter out of hopetown, abacos, bahamas.

hope this helps...why not call pdq?

Thanks for the responses. I sent a note to Sunsail and they have closed their Annapolis office and are no longer chartering PDQ's. See notes below from Sunsail.

"No, sorry. We no longer have any PDQ's at any of our bases- just sailing vessels.

We get that question all the time...many folks would love to charter prior to buying. We now have a 2007 PDQ 34' in charter out in the Pacific NW. It is listed with sanjuanyachting.com. The owners picked up the boat last spring and it has the new windows in the stateroom and 100hp engines. Outside of that boat, we don't know if any others availalbe for charter. The one in Hope Town (HORIZONS) is not available for charter but maybe there is another one that Duetto was referring to.
