I am 35 years old, single, no kids, and live in a small one bedroom apartment. I love the water, but I know nothing about boats.
My plan is to buy a used 50 footer to live on full time, maybe in the Florida Keys in the winter, maybe somewhere North in the Summer. I have enough saved to do this and be able pay for expenses without working for about a year.
But, my plan is to earn money as soon as I get the boat by chartering it for day trips. At first I would hire a captain to pilot the boat and teach me. After I become comfortable with running it and get the certifications I need, I would pilot it.
I know there are many obstacles, but does this sound do-able?
