Did you ever give a moment’s thought to the very good living the construction of that yacht furnished to a large group of skilled builders?
Did you ever give a moment’s thought to the very good living the mooring and servicing of that yacht is giving to the skilled people who tend and maintain it year after year?
Did you ever think that the owners worked for the money to buy that yacht and the taxes they pay for the ownership?
This is from the owner of a 26 footer who is well aware of the money that trails behind every boat, large or small.
I’ve heard that a boat is a hole in the water where all the money goes ...
I read in a trade journal that yacht captains are basically paid according to the length of the yacht (i.e. the article cited $1,000 per foot in length as being pretty much the standard for yacht captains). That’s a fine income.
