What is the annual budget for a boat of this nature, depending on usage, crew and typical maintenance cost?
Typical maintenance includes (John: for you to answer; pulling it out of the water once per year engine/machine inspections etc); typical crew costs (with/without experienced captain); typical budget for running the boat (assuming about 5000 NM of travel per year). *#6 As you can see by the questions there are a great number of factors to be taken into account in regards to operating cost. This is an issue I feel must be handled on a one to one basis with the client when the operating parameters of the vessel have been clearly defined.
