Working Through Retirement - AKA Working Retirement

We have seen topics about what jobs you can do while cursing and we really enjoy reading those posts. We are lucky enough to have been setting ourselves up for when our youngest son finishes high school in a little less than two years so we can work from our future yacht, YEA.

For our business, we need to have access to phones (phones can be internet) and internet during the normal work week. Our intention is to find a nice marina to hang out for a month or two or six or however long we “feel like staying” or kicked out due to visa restrictions and then off to the next place to work and explore. We want to go out exploring Friday through Mondays and so on.

We can afford to buy our yacht and not have payments but after that we have to work to make a living, we’re just lucky enough to be able to make our living anywhere in the world with internet access. So trying to find nice marinas throughout the Caribbean to move, explore, and still have the ability to work is our current plan.

Which leads us to trying to find safe, nice, and modern marinas with a price tag that meets our budget seems to be hard to find. I KNOW they are out there but finding reviews is kinda tough.

We are looking to buy a 47’ Beneteau and can’t wait to get to cruising even though we have to work while we go. We are hoping to spend around 500.00 a month or less if possible for the Marina fees (really hoping that they would be nice to decent on that budget).

If you have some advice on marinas from Mexico to the Virgin Islands and all points south we would really appreciate sharing your experiences and recommendations. We are hoping to spend a few years exploring the Caribbean (as much of it as possible) before heading west, WAY WEST!

Does this make sense?

Thank you all in advance.
