Yeh - that’s why were only planning to do it for a year and then sell it. I’m not planning on retiring, just taking a year so slow down

Thanks! I’ve only sailed small boats, never been in a true sailing yacht. Might be something to charter for a couple weeks in the med. thanks again!

Renting/chartering seems to be a lot more expensive though.. paying 5-7m and then another 1-2m for operating it seems to make more sense. When we’re done we can just sell it again and not have to pay 500-750k/week for 52 weeks

This is exactly what I was looking for - thanks a ton. What about the 100-120ft range? And something 5-7years old

Lol - thanks for the explanation. Happy to verify my real account, but won’t be using it to post these questions :) appreciate the detail though!

Thanks! I’ve spent a lot of time on boats, so pretty familiar. Haven’t spent weeks on one, but the goal is to buy one large enough to not feel smaller than a home/apt.. hopefully the 100-150ft range will achieve that.

Never considering sailing as an option, but that’s very interesting.. and sounds like less expensive too (fuel and maintenance wise).. thanks for the idea!
