We've been entertaining the idea of renting our 2002 310 DA out, perhaps on a monthly basis. We don't want short turnovers of weekly rentals. Boating season is so short here (May-Oct) that maybe others don't want to own one but still want the experience.
We're on the St. Croix based in Afton. So freshwater/river, limited area to travel (and we would specify). We'd offer our dock so I could be available for maintenance, etc.
I know we'd have to change insurance to allow a renter and prepare for a bit of extra maintenance.
We would at least cover the same process as our 48' sailboat rental we did in the BVI. Resume, prepayment, boat and system checkout, etc.
Our thought would be something like $250/night, plus an hourly, gas, etc. $7500 for a month, where dockage along cost $5500/year here. Is that too cheap? I don't see charging any less for the risk/reward.
The goal is to offset our yearly $12000 ownership (no usage or depreciation included) by losing one month of boat access. It's not that we can't afford it, but I wouldn't own a condo in Steamboat and not rent it out.
Expecting a few bashes. Hopefully some constructive info as well.
