Living on a yacht isn't the same as living in Denver. For the type of boat that will do what you are asking requires a significant on going income stream in addition to just buying the boat. Because buying the boat is just the start. The costs will be reduced if you decide not to cross oceans. Successfully crossing oceans escalates the required items and expenses versus a coastal cruiser. There are no marinas in the middle of the South Pacific.

Then there is the training and skill you need to do the job. As a suggestion if you have flexible time, you can be part of a crew or hand on a vessel that is traveling. There are a couple of site where you can be free labor on a vessel going on all kinds of trips. Or you may need to chip in for some expenses. I would also recommend getting training at some of the schools since you have no experience, A school can at least teach you terms, what is proper on the water and other things. Doesn't replace being on the water and yet there are on the water classes too.
