Re: Crewed Hatteras
The original poster was asking for possible help from "young mate that needs hours". Anybody that "needs hours" is likely on a completely different trajectory with their career to work on a real boat that crosses oceans and pays $500 a day to unlicensed workers. Real captains won't even roll out of bed for $1000 cash + benefits, neither will the chief mate.

Re: Crewed Hatteras
The problem with the licensing today is the self certification BS. They take some crash course then self certify in their buddy’s 18’ bowrider now they’re a Master ship captain. Even recommendations need to be taken with a grain of salt because most people don’t want to give a bad recommendation because of retaliation or being sued for slander.

They do have ejection seats. I can't find an isolated video, but there's a demo video here at 5:40:

Re: Crewed Hatteras
I was going to guess as a Tomcat backseat SWO VIP rider that didn't get properly briefed on what to do, and more importantly WHAT NOT TO DO(!), during the standard Negative-G FOD check portion of the of the Fence IN checks. So he grabbed the most logical handhold handle conveniently located between his legs while inverted and tried to pull himself back down into the seat...instead the seat FIRED and he departed the aircraft while in a very uncomfortable and hazardous position.
Am I close? If I am, I'm sincerely glad it worked out OK!Cheers,

Re: Crewed Hatteras
You obviously don’t know much about the world of crewed small boat and yachts. There are thousands of mates, deckhands who want to get their licenses and are building sea time and experience. They have zero interest in working on any commercial vessels or ocean crossing tubs. Some love fishing and want to run their own fishing charters one day, others just like being on the water.
Same on the non fishing side, yachts. For most, it s not about the money it’s about enjoying the work and the life. I guess it varies but personally doing this for a living hasn’t affected our enjoyment of our personal boats. And the perks of the jobs aren’t bad… we and our crew often get to enjoy a fully provisioned 116 footer for days at a time in the Bahamas between charters or owners trips while getting paid. A non real boat something that costs our charter guests about $10k a day .
I ll stick to the non real boat.Pascal

Re: Crewed Hatteras
My comment about the negative aspects of chartering was geared toward the owner possibly ruining his love for boating. Running someone else's 110 on their dime and getting paid is a win win in my mind. Enjoy, Pascal.

Re: Crewed Hatteras
Lol… it’s a 110 hull plus swim platform . So both are correct …

If you don’t do any overnight charters on your own boat, I think it can work. You just lock up the master and VIP and use the forward for guests to change. But not with the ghetto Sofl clientelePascal

Re: Crewed Hatteras
I know quite a bit about the yacht world. Most guys that work on the big boys could go work yachts tomorrow, but few would want to work 3-4x as many days a year for 50% or lower the pay. But yachts are great for people that want to live aboard and don't have a home or family. It's great for 20 something single dudes!
There is a huge difference in a 100Ton NC license and a real oceans license. It's laughable that the 100t is even called a "master's" license. It's similar to saying a single engine commercial pilot is same deal as an ATP with a 777 type rating and 3000hrs PIC.FTFD... i drive a slow 1968 41c381
