As for the charter option..sure it's probably a better "financial" option but I find scheduling my boat much less of a hassle, everything is a tradeoff.
I couldn't agree more, unfortunately people are often so caught up in their day to day lives they often don't do things they really want to do and have a passion for, sometimes you just have to "push the boat out" - so to speak - and splash out on a bit of luxury
