It's like any higher end investment market really... it has risks, so you get insurance on your risks. So yeah, it's more limited towards capital, it's also a world wide market, it wouldn't just be in the islands.

No part of it is cheap, from buying a boat or doing a charter, lots of money moving around. Just gota make sure you get into a good world wide fleet, so the boat goes all over.

We should take a trip at the start of next slow season, the charters slow down and the captains and some investors are around to talk to. Get a place near the port, hang out at the local bar on the marina, and let them tell us all the secrets after a few drinks.
