      Yeah, and uncrewed, one where you can operate everything solo or as a couple. Big crewed ones can easily be 20k per day to run.

        Uncrewed regular yachts small enough to singlehand are cheaper than a normal middle-class house. Hell, you can get an old one for $1 and some sweat equity.

        (That’s a slight exaggeration – fiberglass and resin costs money – but there are definitely people who sail around on boats worth 5 figures and work occasional odd jobs when they need money.)

          To buy, sure, but how much is fuel and dock fees? (I’m asking, I have no idea)

            Well, they have sails and an anchor, so $0 and $0 if you’re hardcore about it.
