Re: Dreaming of sailing, freediving and exploring the world’s best waters/countries?

Nice dream BUT... when it comes to boats and partners...in my opinion it never works. You'd be better off bareboating with like-minded people and planning on doing it in the different places in the world that y'all want to explore and experience. You will save a lot of money and avoid the aggravation of ownership (read expense and responsibility issues etc).
Seriously...stick to the bareboat chartering - I don't want to rain on your parade but I've seen this before and it's a recipe for a ton of bs.
Remember that the cost of ownership of any vessel is 10 to 15% of the value of the vessel per year...the purchase price is just the beginning of the cost of ownership.

As a professional boat Captain I prefer to fly to those exotic locations and then stimulate the local economy by hiring a local guide with local knowledge and returning to the beach every nite ... waaaaay more fun and much more rewarding.
