I have this dream that I would love to give up my corporate life (and all the things that come with that!) and do something boaty. I toy with the idea of buying a boat to to take people out diving or fishing but having looked around I really can't see how to make a decent living at it. SWMBO is also on an upwards career and is loving the corporate life and is fast tracking up so a couple of years from now will be earning a lot more than my package so possibly may have options then I guess? Sitting in my office, writing a boring presentation for our upcoming "future leaders" and thinking out loud..........

I reckon the boating lark in the UK is all too weather dependent, especially so if you want to earn a living at it.
One day, whilst in Oz, I was sitting gazing out over Morton Bay and I just happened to mention that maybe I ought to get an RYA Instructors ticket, and start teaching out there. I was told that they're crying out for RYA instructors. So that's one (seemingly good) idea, that I've still not done anything about.
Another was jacking it all in, and take up flying the Maldivian Air Taxis. Nothing to do with boats (other than they land / take off on water), but has to be one of the best jobs in the world.
Charter fishing contact says the only reason they go out this time of year is to catch their dinner and barter for veggies.
What I don't see is a consolidated national boat charter / fishing web site (with on line booking and payment). And how many head cases would pay to go out on a commercial deep sea fishing trip as an adventure experience?
Fwiw I went out with a Greek friend night fishing off Poros on his typical small fishing boat. Got back at 6am after a truly memorable experience. Took three days to get over the ouzo brainburn.
full time for a similar time with similar childers and a similar resultfull time for 32 years and although not made a packet have managed to bring up 3 kids and pay mortgage in that time
Thanks for all the feedback guys, I think I just need a kick up the arse and to get out of IT, specifically being an IT director. The money is good but is giving me no satisfaction apart from that.
