At the end of each calendar year, I like to do a bit of a recap on my boating activities and costs for the year. Here is my recap for 2024.
Number of trips: 36
Nautical Miles logged: 1,591.8
Gallons of fuel purchased: 1,057.5
Cost of fuel: $4,732.27
Average cost per gallon: $4.31
Number of photos taken: 1,655
Cost of maintenance, repairs & parts: $21,379.24
Cost of moorage: $1,453.45
Cost of insurance: $2,178.50
Cost of shore power: $939.37
Enjoyment Factor: Through the roof!
Owning & maintaining a boat of this size is not for the faint of heart.
Keeping it functional and safe to operate requires effort and financial resources.
It's a harsh environment out there and stuff breaks with regularity no matter how careful I am.
To all the other boaters out there, don't compromise on safety.
