4- Sailing
If you like the idea of escaping the busy city life and just sail away on a luxurious yacht just to enjoy the breeze of the sea, this is the perfect hobby for you.
And you have to consider that this hobby is not cheap at all. In fact, the most expensive yacht will cost you $4.5 billion. But you can choose a less expensive boat for $300 million.
But before you set up on a course you have to consider planning on a lifetime of investing in marine gear and upgrades for your boat.
Other fact you should consider when buying a boat is a crew. Because you know, these boats require a crew too.
Captains cost roughly $1,000 per year per foot of boat—that’s $110,000 or so to command an embarrassingly small 100-footer and $220,000 or more for yachts over 200 feet.
You’ll also need an engineer for another $90,000 to $130,000 because the complex mechanical systems are beyond the skills of a mere crewman.
In addition, plan to hire at least one crew member per guest. Deckhands and stewards are relatively cheap at $30,000 to $50,000 per year, but good chefs cost at least $70,000 a year.
