Would this be a good job and would it make me a good living?

Question

Answer 1

not if your only charging 10 euro's a time, marine engines cost a fortune to run

Answer 2

ya cool!

Answer 3

you will have to have a skippers license liability

insurance safety test on vessel + equipment

you can not have paying passengers with out

these,!!

Answer 4

Anything's worth a try. You can always try it and see if it works. Sounds to me as though it could be very seasonal. But it would be good to live out in Spain for the summer months and earn money doing something that you enjoy.

Best of luck!

Answer 5

The boat would cost you 30 euros an hour to run, then you have the cost of all the necessary licences, boat checks etc, then of course you will have to compete with the competition!

I hope you excuse the pun, but it wont be all plain sailing...

Answer 6

buy a boat there,see what laws they have there for what you want to do,good luck.

Answer 7

You can do this, I know many people do boat tours and para-sailing. But, you do need to rethink your operating expenses. You start pulling/teaching people to ski or para-sail and you will burn 10 euros of fuel in an hour maybe more. But, this can be done, just put more thought into what you need to charge per hour and make it work.

Answer 8

Well i guess you would need to make enough to pay the loan on the boat, insurance for the activities, general wear and tear on the boat, living expenses, money for docking your boat in the evenings (cant think of how to spell the proper word), money for training if you dont already know how to do that, money for emergencies and what ever else you need.

Guess you need to work out how much that would all cost, whether there is a demand for that kind of thing in the places you want to live and how much demand there is for it.

Go find out how much a suitable boat would cost and see where takes your fancy to live and see if people are doing that kind of thing already in the area and how many tourists they get and what kinds. If its a resort for pensioners are they really gonna want to do that sort of thing etc.

Good luck whatever you decide to do

Answer 9

Sounds like heaven,Who would not want to do that and make money.The more people available/wanting to do a job the bottom falls out of the market but if you would be spiritually happy and can get by...go for it.
