For the second year in a row I have chartered a 3-day family vacation
as a combined instructional charter and cruise, i.e. I go on vacation
with my family while a captain helps me with the boat.

Last year I did this in a 42 foot trawler; this year it is a 54 foot
Bluewater.

For the second year in a row air conditioning has been inop on the boat
and the rental school seems to think this is a typical occurrence in
the boating world and something a renter should just take in stride.

Perhaps I need to recalibrate my expectations. Or perhaps the school
does. I do not know which.

If a boat is advertised as "luxury accommodations" and is taken on a
3-day instruction/charter cruise costing several thousand dollars, is
lack of A/C an expected occurrence and non-issue?

For what it is worth, my opinion is that if it cost several thousand
dollars everything should work. If part of the equipment doesn't work,
part of your money shouldn't either.
