When mild-mannered Martin Harvey finds out that he has inherited a vintage yacht, he decides to take his family on a Caribbean vacation to retrieve the vessel. Upon arriving on a small island and realizing that the ship is in rough shape, Martin and his family end up with more than they bargained for as the roguish Captain Ron signs on to sail the boat to Miami.

This movie begins with a man named "Martin Harvey" (Martin Short) and his wife "Katherine Harvey" (Mary Kay Place) inheriting a sail boat once owned by Clark Gable. The only problem is that they have to sail it from a small island in the Caribbean called Pomme de Terre to a port in Miami to have it surveyed in order to sell. However, once they get there they find that the boat is in great disrepair and unable to sail it themselves they hire a local sailor named "Captain Ron" (Kurt Russell) to help them out. What they don't realize is that Captain Ron is a complete idiot and is liable to get them all killed before they ever get to Miami. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that a friend recommended this movie to me many years ago and upon eventually watching it I found it to be as good as he said it was. I especially liked the acting of Kurt Russell who was absolutely hilarious. In any case, those who are looking for a good light-hearted comedy might want to check this one out and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

(Credit IMDb) A family in Chicago inherits the yacht formerly owned by Clark Gable. They decide to sail it from the island of Ste. Pomme de Terre to Miami, and they sail with the assistance of Captain Ron and their lives will never be the same again.I'm a huge Kurt Russel fan and I couldn't get into this one at all. It is very unfunny, but Martin Short doesn't help things. I can't stand Martin Short and he almost always ruins anything he is in for me. I don't remember this one very well, but I can vividly recall that I didn't laugh at all, and I was quite bored. Even greats like Russell have misfires3/10

A family in Chicago inherits a yacht, 'The Wanderer', formerly owned by Clark Gable. They decide to sail it from the island of St. Pomme de Terre, to Miami. They sail with the assistance of Captain Ron and their little holiday turns into more than they bargained for....This is one of those films that I always wanted to see as a teenager. It was never released theatrically here, and I believe my rental store only ever had one copy, so I had to wait over twenty years for the pleasure.and it's so not the film I thought it was. Russell is great as the titular character, all Plissken and Gabriel Cash, whenever he is on the screen, the film is hilarious, it's just the family have no dynamic, and spend the majority of the film moaning and looking miserable.I know CR is supposed to vex Martin Short, but he whines from the moment his character is introduced.The locations are wonderful, and it goes along at a fast pace, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, maybe I left it a little too late.and I was really surprised by the nudity and foul language. I'm no prude, but it really threw me.Shame the film didn't.

I thought this movie was pretty well done. Kurt Russell is very funny as the main character, Captain Ron. Martin Short plays his typical understated, I am an idiot role, although he does get a lot tougher as the movie goes on. The kids are spoiled rotten like most of today's teens. They do learn some hard lessons about life by the end of the movie and learn to rely on their parents for support and guidance. The daughter thinks she is hot stuff (and she is) but learns the ways of the world to her chagrin. Captain Ron is a well written, well acted movie that is funny and has some nice eye candy. I own it and will watch it several times in the future.
