If you are gazing at this picture, the thought of operating your own yachting business is perhaps something you have considered in the past. What is stopping you from setting up your own yachting business?
The whole point about starting your own yachting business is not that you will be chasing the almighty dollar; but, that you might enjoy the life that you have always wanted.
Your business could be either transporting or storing the pleasure craft, be it a sailboat, yacht or powerboat.
If the pleasure craft (boat) is being purchased outside of Canada, Transport Canada has a set of guidelines on Buying a Pleasure Craft from Another Country.
