Hello.
My name is Paul.
My wife and I are in the process of purchasing a 2001 Carver 396 Motor Yacht.
I grew up in Miami and spent lots of time on the open water, snorkeling, working with wild dolphins and, eventually scuba diving in California.
Although, I have sailed 40’ sailboats and 25’ power boats, it has been years.
I am taking all necessary courses, including the USCG Certified Captains course. I will also be getting hands-on experience with a certified captain.
Any tips, advice about the boat and/or yachting, maintenance, deals, etc., would be greatly appreciated.
