5. How much business will I get?

We don’t know. However, only a few charters will make up for the extra cost of the commercial insurance you will need. In our experience, the sort of boats that tend to get the most business are the newer, better kept, cleaner ones. Our top selling charters seem to be catamarans, power boats, and sailboats in the 30 to 75 foot range. There also seems to be a general lack of coast guard inspected party boats for smaller numbers of passengers in many ports.
