It would cost $1000/month, and you would get to sail the seas as long as you like. Food is included and served in the galley. When not sailing, (you'd sail about 9hrs/day) there’s a library/rec room you can hang out in. Or you can rest in your room (good sized). You could even run your businesses if a businessman, write if you're an author, work in the workshops if you're a craftsman, etc. (There is wi-fi on board. Yes, you can actually get it that far out to sea!) Often, we would vote on destinations. It would bring back the golden days of pirates! (minus the cut-throat part, of course) Would you come aboard?
Answer:
sure,
sounds like a grand adventure.
when do you sail?

Answer:
Will there be work so you can earn the money to pay the $1,000.00 every month? If not, you just described a cruise for millionaires. Besides, you don't sail 9 hours a day at sea, you sail 24 hours a day unless you arrive at a port each day and dock for 15 hours. That hardly sounds like the good old pirate days!
Give us a more logical package to think about.
Answer:
People pay for their passage and I’ve heard of people working to pay their passage but I’ve never heard of people paying to work their passage.
If I understand your concept correctly, you want your crew to work 8 hour watches, presumably 7 days a week and pay you $250 a week for the privilege.
I wonder if I could open a factory in the UK using the same concept.
Thanks but no thanks.

Answer:
This is a good joke that got some people going, but I'll point out the holes. Even the least-qualified professional sailors work for around $40,000 a year, not -$12,000 as you describe. You would not be able to attract anyone who knows how to sail and if you could even crew the ship it would be full of useless loafers who have no idea what they're doing. Writers and businessmen hauling on lines and chipping and painting, come on. You can’t get Wi-fi out at sea, you need professional satellite equipment. People won’t work the shifts you set up, eight hours at a time. The typical watchstander will stand four hours followed by eight hours off. You can’t just decide to anchor wherever you are at 2200, anchoring is a delicate process and even the largest cargo ships can't anchor in much more than 100 feet. Plus, to “weigh anchor” means to haul it up for departure, so I know that you have no idea what you're speaking about and probably are just regurgitating some nautical terminology you saw in Master & Commander. Not to mention the regulatory requirements, you'd have to register the vessel in some god-forsaken place like Liberia, and hope they never inspect you. Other than that, it sounds like fun.
