I would say $65-75k for someone that is very experienced, but you should be able to find someone capable for $65k.


"We are talking about spending at least 6 months plus a year at sea; island hopping, entended stays, no agenda cruising as a plan."

They're version of ""at sea" doesn't sound like the same as yours. Island hopping sounds more like day trips to me. But if you are right that would change things a bit.

So $60,000 is "not even close" to $65,000?
