Book excerpt: ★★ Buy the Paperback version of this book and get the eBook version included for FREE ★★ Owning a yacht is great fun and there are a lot of good experiences to be had. However, you want to be aware of all the financial and logistical challenges before you take a plunge into the world of yachting. Showing you what you need to know and prepare for before you can get to the fun part of yachting is what this book is all about. Owning and handling a yacht is no small feat. Yachts can vary in price from a couple of thousand dollars to millions. No matter which option you choose, even the most affordable yachts come with maintenance. The truth is that yachts will be in the water pretty much the whole time and that continuous contact with the water inevitably leaves a mark through salt and other minerals. It's not all about maintenance. Licenses and permits are additionally something you need to take into account. You also want to make sure that you have a port where you can keep your yacht. In this book you can expect to learn about: -How to buy a yacht successfully -How to lease a yacht, or even get it for free -How to make sure that you and all of the people with you are safe while on a yacht -Cool yachting events and locations to check out -And much more! Owning a yacht could be a source of great pleasure or of regret. However, if you go in with the right knowledge, I don't doubt that you will be on the winning side. If you are ready to start sailing the seas and admiring the natural beauty of our world without a care in the world, then scrolling to the BUY button and clicking it is the first step toward that.
