Crew and Partners Wanted
Hello from Buenos Aires everyone,
Im searching for crew and partners to join me in acquiring a 50 to 110 foot vessel, trawler,yacht or sail, to run between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Florida, USA as well as points in between up to twice a year. There is a growing market for people wanting to travel in comfort and move their belongings that the airlines and fedex cant handle. We will also offer language immersion on the cruise. Im looking at several vessels for sale in the US where the best deals are. I already have our first client ready to go. I plan on flagging the vessel in New Zealand and partners will hold a director´s position in the LLC. Crew can participate in the endevour via sweat equity while building up their hours. Suggestions welcome !

Wow...sounds like much more of an adventure than Princess or Carnival! I'd like to learn more. Do you have a website by chance?

And this is why you are interested in a 37' Hunter? http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...-a-153671.html
To be fair you seem to be interested also in a 49' Bene
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...-a-153968.html
But I am pretty sure both are not suitable to move belongings that airlines and FedEx can't handle (because both can handle much - ok maybe no 'forbidden stuff').
No real pun intended,
Good luck!
Carsten

I dont have a dedicated web site for this yet because we dont even have a boat ! but of course I and my company do have web sites. If we get a suitable vessel then of course it will get its own URL...then again, it may be better to operate the service by personal referral only. Ive worked in e commerce for years and frankly its not efficient, attracts all the wrong people.

Re: Crew and Partners Wanted
you are moving commerce. you can't take people, money and possession and move them internationally without certain certifications and inspections
its illegal under US law
better check with the USCG and customs before you buy the boat

huh? did you really mention the words, "50 to 110 foot vessel, trawler,yacht or sail, to run between Buenos Aires, Argentina and Florida, USA" and the term, "people wanting to travel in comfort and move their belongings" in the same paragraph???

Re: Crew and Partners Wanted
Not meaning to sound too critical but
this is a really dumb idea born of a complete ignorance of the geographic, political, meteorlogical, economic and competitive realities of the day.
Unless that is, you are carrying passengers that couldn't travel by any other means like when the Nazis sailed to Argentina in the 40s.
Ahh now I get it... Give them full emersion Yankee English on the way so they fit in on arrival.

Re: Crew and Partners Wanted
gotta agree with jr, a 50 ft trawler [even stabilized] won't fit the description of 'comfortable' --cpt steve

Re: Crew and Partners Wanted
There was a local here named Wayne sailing out of the inner harbour marina who did the same thing a few years back with his custom 70' steel sailboat. Twice a year to the Caribbean and back. Great guy, very friendly. He's in jail now...for a long, long time. His boat was confiscated and sold at auction. All his possessions, bank accounts, assets, all confiscated.

Now that's an interesting take. Return on investment and size is based on 2.2 lbs..
