It depends entirely on what value you are to the delivery skipper and what
value you feel you are getting out of the trip. If he's already got enough
crew to do the job and he's just offering you a spare berth and experience
that will be useful to you and you'll probably holiday for a while at the
destination anyway, then expect to pay for pretty much everything. But if
he needs crew and you will be involved in provisioning and preparation and
cleaning up and helping with the return trip (such as sharing a rental),
then expect a much better deal.

An aquantance asked my wife and I if we're interested in being part of a
boat delivery crew. He mentioned two specific trips, each are around 2
weeks long and at interesting places. I was in a hurry and told him I
looked forward to chatting more about it.

I'd like to get a heads up on how this stuff works before I chat with him
again. Can anyone give me a run-down on these things? Obviously he is
getting a salary and his travel expenses paid. What should I expect from
an
invitation to crew? Should I expect my travel expenses to be paid? We
don't have a great deal of experience but he can see we are capable and
that
we true students of the sport of sailing.
