I have been sailing for years on other peoples boats and currently
work on a private
motor yacht. I feel it's time to get out there on my own. Is it too soon, am I setting myself up for bankruptcy? I am by no means rich, but I do have some
money set aside to buy a
boat, but how high will the costs be after that? Set the cost of the
boat aside. How much will it cost me to run it, and berth it? Is it possible to
charter it if I have my
commercial Yachtmaster 200
license? Where would be a good inexpensive place to stay? I am open to any where in the world, but since I'm an American the USVI's seem to be an easier place to start. Any
advice good or bad will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, happy and safe sailing.
