I don't like any of them better than yours!

Thanks. 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?

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!

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.
