I had a deal somewhat like that for 5 years, although on a more modest
scale.
At some point you just want be be your own captain...especially if you
want to try new cruising grounds and the boat owner is happy with 3 hour
cruises in your harbour.

I also had a deal like that on a Cape Dory 36, but the owner got to old for
it, his words, but actually it was all of the maintenance. He sold it and
went smaller to a little Fisher 25 motorsailer. A year later he came up with
cancer and put the boat on the market. I have had my little ship, the
biggest little cruiser, for 11 years now.
