You also need an epirb, life raft, gumby suits (weather/water temp dependant), and insurance.

So, factor that in before you try to jump in.

not true.
your mixing federal commercial fishing safety regulations for "selling fish" that are boat size, distance offshore, number of passengers, registered or documented, time of year Etc. ...dependant with fishing vessel safety regulations that vary greatly based on many factors.

Charter/Headboat HMS qualifies as commercial, and he DID say Tuna/Shark.

What John says is very true.

a total length boat of 30 ft. from bow to skeg if outboard around my way for dockage is $5,300.00 for the summer season, my boat insurance is $1,000.00, figure fuel and bait. Repairs can set you back.

A first job is great to have. In my job I'm very flexible with work schedule, and charters work very well and there are too many in the business now, not the same as 20 years ago.
