The DIY Yacht Guy, helps people who want to get in to the world of large boats or yachting without going through the traditional method of ‘stepping up’ from a 25′, to a 35′ to a 45′ boat. So many people want a larger boat, but are told they need experience on smaller boats first. While this may be the right way to go for some people, you would be surprised at how easy it is to operate a larger boat and how much money you can save buy ‘Buying your Last Boat First.” Let us show you how to do it!
The DIY Yacht Guy came about when Kevin wanted to get a boat that would go on a lift at his house. Unfortunately, Kevin’s wife gets sea sick. He first looked at 33 foot twin outboard and then a 38 foot triple outboard. Both boats still were too susceptible to even the slightest seas. Not one to give up, he started looking at larger boats. Of course, the boats got larger, but they also got older based on budget. Finally, something in the realm of possible came available. Of course, so many people were skeptical that someone who had just sailed small boats on a lake and owned a 20 foot day sail boat was even capable of captaining a 51′ yacht. As Kevin moved through the purchase process, he was questioned at every step about his capability to move straight into such a large boat. Despite the skeptics, Kevin took delivery of his boat in Punta Gorda, FL and subsequently took a 3 day journey consisting of two overnight stops, six dockings, and an off-shore passage across the Gulf of Mexico. You can do this too!
