Dear fellow Yacht friends
As you can read from my initial post in the Meets & Greets section, I am currently helping a friend starting his own Day
Charter operation. The desired
boat is an Ocean Voyager '62 Fast and he is looking to start up a Day
Charter business in the
Caribbean in 2017/2018. He has 10 years experience under his belt in the Yachting business, working on super-Yachts to small
boats in the
Caribbean and the
Mediterranean Sea. He asked me to help him planning the business, finding potential investors and getting the
financing in place. And in case the business proves to be sustainable, I would like to
work with him full-time and investing my own
money.
I hope to be able to contribute to this forum, by
posting my experiences and progress with this
project and I hope to receive some helpful tips from the experienced members of this forum.
I have done
research on the web but I cannot find a sample Business Plan that we can
work with. Would someone here happen to have such a business plan template/draft that you can share with me? Ideally a Word plan that interacts with Excel and that already focuses on the Day Charter operation in terms of information needed. I would like to work off this plan, populating the numbers and amending the text
parts. That would really help me kick-starting this
project and getting an idea if the project is feasible.
Thank you!
Best regards
Jannis
