Its like $10k for the week for a 47' boat that sleeps 10. In theory $1k a person for a 5-7 day trip of fun is good. Well I guess that doesn't include food cost and stuff. But dude... Look at the girls and places you go!!!

If you think that's badass, you'd love the Poker Runs...

That looks like a lot of fun! Personally I wouldn't get a monohull. I just got back from a sailing trip with 11 of my friends on a 55 ft Catameran in the British Virgin Islands. It's much better in the terms of sail boats. More room, more personal space and more deck space, esp if your gonna party which is what your gonna do. We did a 11 day sailing, and it's about 3.5k a couple air fair included and by the time you provision up. Just remember if you go, and you have to buy your booze buy at least double what you think you will drink, and if your a heavy drinker buy triple. we ended up drinking about 8 liters of booze, 10 bottles of wine and 14 cases of beer. And that's not counting the happy hour drinks we went to at every bar on every island.

We had a blast and we were all couples, I could only imagine what it would be like with just a boat full of singles

Does that include your captain? We captain ours with my best friend as he has been down there a lot. If you have to pay a captain they normally run about 2-300 a day and you have to supply food n drink to them too....

Yeah the BBC still dominates in the marine industry, but the turbines are going faster.

I love how the turbines sound when they fire up (@ 0:55).

We rented a 40 foot private cruiser when we were in Cabo. Talk about nice. It was amazing. We do the poker runs too. My bro and I have a pair of bajas.
