About how long overall can a yacht be, that can be operated by the owner alone without a paid crew? I’d guess around 44’ or so.

Ours is set up where one person can sail her but she’s big enough that getting in and out of slips, tiering off, etc. is really a 2 person job. There’s a 50 ft aft cabin Sea Ray down from us, gorgeous boat by the way, that 2 people could handle well. Our Marina managers have over a 60 footer but it looks so big not sure 2 people could.

Depends on the owner's skill -and his wallet.

The 290ft Maltese Falcon, built by venture capitalist Tom Perkins can supposedly be rigged for solo.

Registered in the Caymans, of course.
