lol. Find a broker who pays for any of those things out of their eventual commission. lol.

Been for sale for at least 18 months on various websites, boattrader for one. Not that she’s not interesting! I wonder if she’s now on CL because a brokerage wasn’t getting them anywhere.

I’ve seen them 55’ to 100’ but yes many are-were 85’. Here’s an example of one: https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/yacht-sindbad-for-sale

Sure, but an American equivalent would come with a mount for a M240B. Also deterring pirates, though perhaps increasing temptation for thieves lol.

I’ve used Anacortes Yacht Charters. Good mix of power models from small to not so small. Their rates are expressed as daily and there is a discount for nine nights or more. I’ve yet to find a squawk free boat but nothing major and they respond quickly so long as you are in the San Juans. We plan...

We’ll I’m not a spokesperson for every marine patrol officer in the country but I’ll speak for myself and my agency and my experience also working cooperatively with USCG as well as RCMP during special enforcement initiatives: No ID for inspections. Yes ID for violations. If person refused to...

Ah, you’re right of course, thanks. I haven’t looked at mine closely since I last renewed!

They are really asking for ID. Less than thoughtful law enforcement ask for a drivers license, probably because 99.5% of people when asked for ID present a drivers license. A passport while proof of identity does not carry all info that law enforcement needs for various reasons. Proof of date...

I have, we charter from them every year or two or three depending on what we have going on for vacation plans. I’ve ever only had instruction before our first charter when it was required, but other aspects of their operation are spot on. Their training captains are independent contractors btw...

My youngest living the dream.

Holding out for things to fall into place for a North Puget up to Glacier Bay trip for the summer where we will cruise - and work part time - in Gustavus. Hopefully in our own boat and not on the Alaska Marine Highway ferries lol. On the other hand, we also own an expedition kayak with a sail...

Lol. Not from where I’m sitting, as a buyer. Similarly-sized and somewhat capable power yachts from the mid to late-eighties are going from top of $100’s but to 300’s and up, and most aren’t aluminum construction. Nicer examples of the Californian 55 and even larger Bayliners are selling in the...

Yes, I think under almost any scenario, locking in a rate now, asap, would be a smart move.

Peoples and Savibank are offering between 4 and 4.5% depending on credit score, loan term and loan amount. Not much out there under 4%. Better than a line of credit. Not as good as a HELOC of course.

A couple updates for some options that some might find helpful, if you are in the (U.S.) Puget Sound market: Peoples Bank Maritime Lending Department will finance fiberglass 35 years old or younger, some flexibility on the edge of that for a boat in excellent condition. Didn’t ask about wood or...

Making an assumption here but his profile is just “inland” from the Seattle-Tacoma area. There are several outfits that do training on their boats, in Puget Sound, which you might find useful, but for insurance they will likely require actual training on your boat, so as said your broker or...

As others in other threads have shared - and I have experienced a little as well - what “operating” a larger boat means, is in the mind of the specific underwriting agency. Pau Hauna or another insurance broker might chime in here, but some underwriters seem to accept only previous ownership of...

I’m no great man of business, but how do these marinas fail to compete with the big boys as they raise rates and piss off current occupants and last year’s transients? As another poster noted, where are economies of scale in the marina business? HR and accounting? Attorney retainers? Fuel...

That YachtWorld listing is brand new, never before been on YachtWorld, at least not since I have been serious in my own search for the last year or so. Some of the photos I have from the owner/seller from several months ago, others appear to be new. The video dates from spring 2018 but it’s the...

Sigh. How trite. The Murkowski’s known and suspected corruption aside, these projects are not generally dreamed up and boosted by “government.” All eyes look to the arctic as it warms. Extraction, tourism, nationalist competition, and the marine infrastructure necessary to support it.

I communicated with the seller, at one point, and read the last insurance survey that he provided. Did you talk about the generator? I was operating under the assumption that I would need to “price in” a new generator install rather than try to salvage the Onan. YMMV.

I don’t know about that. I’m older than most all fiberglass yachts.

The USCGC Healy’s draft is 29’ 3”. A Zumwalt class destroyer’s draft is 27.5 feet. The existing deep water port will likely be made deeper.
