Day 1 of the 100 Day Yachting Playbook Before you spend a cent, get clear on one thing: what do you actually want from your yacht? Private or commercial use? Crew or no crew? These two decisions will shape everything that follows, from budget to boat choice. Start smart, and the rest gets easier. See you tomorrow for Day 2. #YachtingPlaybook #100DayYachtPlaybook #YachtOwnership #YachtTips #PrivateVsCharter

Before spending money on anything you're related, you have to know what you want from your boat. And for that, there are two decisions to make. Welcome to day one of the 100 day yachting playbook. Broadly speaking, yachts are used in two ways. Private use or commercial use. Private use means the yacht is just for you. No renting it out to others. This is the most luxurious option because you're the only one to use the boat and it's way more personal. Commercial use on the other hand means you also charter the yacht to others when you're not using it. This helps to offset ownership costs but comes with extra responsibilities. Next, think about whether you want your yacht with a crew, so with a personal team, handling navigation and service, or without crew, meaning you and your guests operate the yacht yourselves. These answers will guide the next steps from choosing the right yacht to setting your budget. And I'll see you tomorrow for day two.
