I am interested in using my 46-foot sailing yacht in a charter business, to offset some of the costs of ownership. I am familiar with the chartering clubs that allow customers to take the boat out on their own, but I have a captain’s license and I am interested in taking out passengers for wine cruises and for overnight trips to Catalina. What legal issues should I be concerned about before I get started?
