OFFSHORE THRILL RIDES
 
being that my boat is costing me money and not making me money i have considered getting my six pack license (USCG)and chartering my boat, up to 6 passengers part time. i have been on a few of these boats and its a great deal for the passengers and for the boat owner(if nothing major breaks) any insight, success/horror stories, or advice??? thanks!!!

I think insurance for something like that would kill ya if youre doing it on a small time scale. :(

But hey! Check into it anyway....ya never know till ya ask! And dont let word of mouth discourage ya from doing waht you want till you get all the facts! Good luck! :D

you figure at 100 bucks a head for 1hr, thats $500 , maybe $75 in gas. do a few runs on saturday, a couple during the week, it all adds up. a friend of mine owns the THRILLER on Paradise Island,Bahamas but he is on a very large scale taking up to 40 passengers!

The Bull,
Goto: www.BenHedrick.com and click on the link, "Hot Boat Adventures". This is a friend of mine, who is based out of Cape Coral. He might be able to give you some more formation. His name is Phil McCombs.

Good luck.
