Ours is certainly a lot more affordable. Yeah, they want $325k a week to rent the Blue moon. I assume that does not cover gratuities. $65,000 in tips? Split how many ways? = how much per crew member? === Most likely the charter broker would help you sort that out. |

Total crew of 14. Split evenly that's $4600 each. Even if the deck hands get only 2k, that's not bad for a week's work. The captain and officers are making some pretty good change! |

That could easily run $500/hour or more. The best use of the charter would be as a floating condo/hotel in some cool place like St Barts with maybe a quick run over to St Maarten just for grins. If the idea of 300 grand a week doesn't bother you, what does $500k mean? Go for it. I assume most of these are for corporate junkets that will be tax deductible and paid for by the stock holders. |

My IBM buddy in Bradenton from Maryland and before from Connecticut came to us from being a captain on a 50sumpin foot Bertram. He says these "rich people" tend to be cheap. He has taken people out on charters that ran up in 5 figures (in the 70s) and they give you a $100 tip to split with the mate(s). He didn't really make that much money but he lived on the boat and the owner paid all the expenses. Ft Lauderdale in the winter, Annapolis in the summer. It wasn't a bad way to live. |

My buddy in the BVI has captained numerous charters over the years...sometimes only him as the hired help and sometimes one other crew. He was always happy to receive 10% or so and all the left over food. I doubt the total cost would have exceeded $2k for a week. |
