You had better be damn well rich for this. Haven’t you seen that show “Below Decks” or something like that.

They expect a tip bigger than most families would spend in a once-in-a-lifetime vacation.

Rich man’s fare.

To spend time on a rich man’s ship for a few days, you’ll need to be a... uh... rich man.

Personally, I can’t even afford a canoe.

I notice that there is not a single price listed anywhere. I guess it’s one of those “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” deals.

Those boats are often corporate charters. Top 5 salesmen and wives kind of a charter. Starting at $150,000 a week.

You need Sunsail.com.

2 couples and a few kids. $3,000-5,000 a week.

Great fun. Try BVI Tortola first time, easy sailing and a lot of uninhabited little islands to explore.

We do it once a year or so. More fun than a big cruise ship!!!

Who doesn’t?

As others have pointed out though this seems like Trump or Rush type of money. Definitely not for the common folk.

A boat like shone on the vid, is probably in the $100k (maybe more)range per week. Add on to that another 10-15% gratuity for the crew.

Here is a yacht to check out.
196' Benetti "St David". Charters at $267k a week

yachtcharterfleet.com

Youtube St. David/Xanadu

Or maybe the 230" Martha Ann is more your style
at $667k a week

Mega-yacht owners offset the costs of ownership by renting out their vessels.

Ask Herb Chambers. "Excellence V" is a down-size from E IV.

When it takes 2 days to fill-up with fuel ...you know you're in another league

Yachts are way too small to go on the ocean with.
They are like toys in the ocean compared to a cruise ship.

Unless you like roller coasters it is far better to get a suite on a moderate sized cruise ship like the Holland America line.

It’s not all that special being on a yacht. I live on one.

Admittedly it’s not a LUXURY yacht, only at 36ft Tashiba, but, it’s still a yacht.

Until recently, this was our neighbor at the marina:

http://www.charterworld.com/index.html?sub=yacht-charter&charter=sy-taza-mas-6774

That’s more a a luxury yacht.

When I retire, we plan on taking our boat to Europe and then maybe Australia. Who knows where we will end up. Just gonna go “First Star to the right and straight on until morning!”

This one is pretty neat.

And this one is said to have cost as much as $1.5 Billion.
