Example Cost Scenario:

A recent trip was for a 50ft grand banks motor trawler from Chesapeake Bay, VA to Pompano Beach, FL at 9 kts. Rental car to Chesapeake $250 a day, one day at half rates for travel Captain and crew to VA.

So driving up my rate was $175, mates were $75 totaling $225 plus $50 per diem gas $109 = $389

Second day we were on boat and up to full pay, $400 per captain $150 per Mate $50 per diem = $550 per day

Ten days later at end of delivery I was due balance for labor and food = $3536 plus rental car back home $189, gas for car $47, and $50 per diem on way home, for a grand total of $6086

I received $2500 deposit and was paid the balance $3586 upon end of delivery. We drive to and from yachts if possible, because we have to carry electronics, sleeping bags, suit cases etc., which can become expensive to fly with.
