Tim Sneed said Five Stars. This book is very informative. Definitely a must if your trying to start a business in the boating world.. Bean counters guide to boating I must admit I had not read Fred Edwards book before I started chartering my boat. If I had, no doubt I wouldn't have. Fortunately I had friends in the business who helped me to know what I needed to know and to learn the rest in the school of hard knocks.

The business has become so complicated of late with homeland security issues, customs changes, passport requirements, DEA issues and the like that making money with boats is a tough sell. I'm glad.

Disappointed that it did not contain anything new or specific.

More than ever, charter operators must adhere to good business practices to transform water-related fun into the pure pleasure of profitability
