Get a flight, pick up a bare boat, sail for a week or two.
Make sure you've done a few charters, then go off and get qualified - start with competent crew, then move on to day skipper etc. Then start bare boat sailing. A few holidays of that and then you'll know whether it's for you or not.
A week in the Caribbean works out about £6k for 4 people on a 40ft cat or £4K on a mono (plus flights).
A week in Croatia could be as little as £600 for 2 people.
Stick another thousand on for a skipper (if you're not qualified) or do it as a flotilla for a bit more.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

But seriously. You want a 6:1 return on your money? It's funny you should ask actually because I've just potentially invested heavily in an Australian tech based superannuation fund and that kind of return is possibly well within our remit actually. Over what period of time are you looking to invest? When can you make your first payment to me? I recommend what we investors call "averaging in". Don't put it all in at once. Slide it in slowly, carefully measuring the response, until you've got it all in. You're then well on your way to your dream of that golden tan on that super yacht!Comment
