Your on target there Sam.
We used to take out the CEO of a Boston investment group. He would come out with us alone, about 6 times a season. We asked him why he didn't bring others,since he was paying for a 6 person trip. He would say he didn't want anyone getting seasick and causing us to go in early.(We fished offshore in some pretty rough stuff a lot of times. He wanted to go on certain day and if it was rough so what. He could take it.
We asked him why he didn't just get his own boat, which he could easily afford and he said it wasn't worth is in the long run moneywise or aggravation wise. He fished all over the world and you can't bring your boat with you. So he was glad to charter. - tom
Wow, go back for that? Must be some serious forms of seasickness that I'm totally unaware of. Last time I went out on a "puker" boat was with some gun club guys who very kindly invited me along. There were about 25 or 30 of us, including wives. The captain said he was taking us to a special spot about 30 miles offshore. But we weren't even a mile off Bodega Bay before people began demanding to be taken back. Captain was a crusty old guy and flat out refused. Probably half-a-dozen people were completely incompacitated the entire day. Six to eight foot seas, 30 miles out, fish all day, 30 miles back. I don't think the captain would've gone back for a heart attack, lol. Got to hand it to him, though, the fishing was unbelievable.
