funsailthekeys is on a distinguished road
Seems pretty high price

I have taken on crew to deliver boats to the Caribbean and some have had no experience. Since I really only needed extra eyes while I was sleeping I had no problem taking them on. I have NEVER had anyone pay for the privilege of working on the boat. THEIR basic compensation was food and $100.00 a day plus return ticket. If they are going to pay to be on a boat then the boat is a commercial vessel and this changes all the rules. Beware because if you are injured you are on your own, also if left in a foreign port you also have no recourse. I guess this is the difference between a professional captain an some one who wants you to foot the bill for their trip.
