DIY CHARTER BOAT BUSINESS STARTUP KIT
If you have ever considered swapping the suit & tie and air-conditioning, for deck shoes and salt air and running your own business, then a charter boat business might be just the thing you need to feed both your entrepreneurial and outdoor desires.
Here is a simple but practical guide, inspired by our charter boat owners, on how to successfully launch your own charter boat business in Australia or New Zealand. Watch the video of Pete Johnson from Pegasus Charter to see his story.
Step 1 – Get Sailing / Boating Lessons
If you have absolutely no experience with boats of this size, a great place to start is taking sailing or power boat lessons, ideally on the type of boat you eventually hope to own. This can be informal from friends or through a sailing club, or more formal through a boat training program.
Sign up to your local sailing club as crew and you will be on the water in no time. Or if in Sydney, join our Multihull Cruising Yacht Club as crew. Visit here: https://www.multihullcruising.org.au/
In partnership with Pacific Sailing School we offer training to both Competent Crew and Day Skipper level with the RYA syllabus. For more information Visit here: https://www.multihullcentral.com/catamaran-academy/
