Caribbean Sailing Finances? - Page 3

Hello!

Me and two friends are heading out to Florida at the end of October to embark on a 6 month sail around the Caribbean. For more details look here: Canadians Bound for the Caribbean - Got Questions!

Here is our (very rough) initial budget. Would love to hear what you guys think will be more expensive, and what will be less.

Initial Costs:

Travel there/back = $500 pp

Boat: $16500 / 3 = $5500 per person
safety equipment, sheets, painting etc.: $3000 / 3 = $1000 pp

Insurance: $750 / 3 = $250 pp

Monthly Costs:

Food: $250 pp * 6 months = $1500 pp
Alcohol/partying (silent killer): $100 pp * 6 months = $600 pp
Maintenence: $600 / 3 * 6 months = $1200 pp
Diesel: $200 / 3 * 6 months = $400 pp
Moorage: $150 / 3 * 6 months = $300 pp

Other costs:

Charts/Books etc: $1000 / 3 = $330 pp
________________

= $11 580 per person
