I just moved to Florida and recently purchased a really big boat. I don't
know if I can handle a vessel this large. I may have overstepped my
bounds.

FWIW, this boat is a 100' Azimut Jumbo.

It has twin deisel engines and I know jack diddly squat about either one
of
them.

How much can one expect to pay weekly for a competent captain to pilot
this
vessel? I'd like to put her out to sea and visit as many places as
possible
for the next few years.

TIA,
Bluto




I know several folks who own canoes who would be happy to be considered to
captain and crew your yacht.

Seriously, don't worry about taking her out on your own. If you hit
something just buy it. If you injure someone just pay them off. Just let
her rip.

If all else fails hire Popeye and Olive Oyl. You know them well. ;-)
