What do you guys think? Should we do some more interview style videos like this? We have an opportunity now to do videos like this while we're waiting/saving to buy our boat.

This is a GREAT video!! The amount of information here is untoped by any other video I have EVER seen on line about taxes, fees, registration, on going fees.. it just amazing!! Great job..please keep it up. Thank you!

Thanks for the great video. Gary is the real deal. It's great hearing people who actually know what they're talking about!!!

WOW - to both of you. This interactive style is easy to follow. A lot of really solid information - and - some damn good advice. Thank you for sharing...

Excellent information for all of us dreamers. Thank you.

Very good video! Well thought out and informative. It's nice having other professionals bring their experience and knowledge too!! Thanks

Thank you so much to you both for all the extremely valuable data found in this video

Loved the Video. Would like to see more. I am currently saving and looking to purchase my first sailboat and I found this video to be very informational. THANKS!

Just listening to The Expert Gary Fretz means that what ever this guy charges for his services is WORTH IT. I really enjoyed listening to an expert who really knows what he is talking about. Learned a great deal with this video. thanks

great video. Really appreciate the hard work that you put in to make these videos

This was very informative even for those that have had boats before. Good job.

Hi Ryan - I’m 2 years out but this was the best information I’ve seen yet anywhere! Great stuff here - Gary is excellent ...as were your questions ! Thank you

Great video, Ryan, you are a skilled interviewer and Gary was a great guest. I learned so much!

Cool I have been to Gary's web site many many times and I have emailed him a few times discussing Catamarans. It's good to have seen this video, not only does it put a face to the name, but it also displays a lot about his character, thank so much both of you.

Excellent and so informative video....thanks Ryan and Gary.... great tips.... I saved Gary's website into my favorites..

My wife and I are planning on doing the cruising lyfestyle and this is the most informative video I have seen

Thanks so much for your videos ! They are by far, the best, most informative and true to life that i have been watching. So much to learn and know after the sale. Your guest needs to write a few books !!!

Great vid. You just answered 50 questions that i didn't even know I'll have until next spring.

Another well thought out and informative video. Thanks! Great job! (liked)

Very informative, practical tips from real life that are very useful, thanks for posting.

Awesome Video. Thank you Ryan and massive thanks to Gary, i could shout him beers and listen all day to Gary on boating. Talk about great knowledge shared from the horses mouth. Brilliant!!!!!!!

Excellent video, awesome info and advice! Thank you!!

I had no idea it was this complex thank you for clearing it up.

Great information, thank you for sharing.

I like the video. Very informative. The taxes are tricky. I read that Florida capped the taxes at 18K because it costs about $20K to do a full foreign vessel. Texas has really gotten into charging use taxes for Texas residents who bring their boats here. And that is 6.25% like cars. So, as a Texas resident, if you want your boat in Galveston or are visiting Galveston, be sure of the rules.

This has been very informative, thank you.

Thx Ryan and Gary for making this video. I have a better understanding of this subject...

Wow very informative! Thank you both! It does give me some ideas on cost. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great show looking forward to more information

I've seen a few of your videos! But this is the type of video that made me subscribe. Very good info.

Ryan, this is all good information. Everyone can learn something from these videos

I loved this interview. Very informative.

And Many Thanx again for your Floor Plan tool. It helps with saloon comparison and hull beam on various cats as I learn about design.

Great information, thanks for sharing!

My first view of your video & very informative thanks for sharing & great job.

I am using Gary for my Catamaran. A wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend.

I really like these videos with Gary. I find them very informative and interesting. I used to own a boat and in the future would like to own again and live on it. As of late I have become more interested in the sail cats.

Great info and video! Thanks!

Very very informative! Gary is a great guy with allot of knowledge. Please make more of this kinda stuff. Keep vlogging!

WOW! learn a lot! Thanks for sharing!

GREAT Very informative and much appreciated.

Really enjoyed this video and surprised at the high costs of registration, Insurance, so many other fees and upkeep costs. Comparing our future fulltime living situation; 200k Cat vs. Motorhome vs. Residential Home options, my impression now is the boats are by far the most expensive. We love the water but day use rentals and private charters may be best for us and hassle free. Great video Thanks!!

This was a GREAT video.!!! Thank you.

Great information to know, thanks much!

Great video and wow your guys pay incredable insurance rates. I had to go check my paperwork to make sure i was actually covered on my boat as i pay $750 a year on a boat estimated last year at $125K here in Canada.

Great interview, Ryan.

Very informative! Thank you!

Great Video, great info! More more more! Thanks so much!

Great Video and information!

EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!

Great GREAT video. Just subscribed to your channel. Thank you!

Great video thank you 😊 so much for the information

Excellent information. This gent knows his business.

This was awesome!!!!

Very good video, informative and accurate.

Informative. Thank you

Hey, great interview vid, very informative...

Very informative, I'm thinking about a cruiser around 42' live aboard and the tax situation is an eye opener. Thank you.

Great and informative video, Thanks

Wow. A salesman with ethics. Thank you

Love this video! We are two years out of buying a cat and cruising the Caribbean. Taking no sailing classes this fall and are hungry for all informations. Thanks and look forward to more!

This video is solid gold.

Ryan......what a GREAT!!! video We are exactly at the same point as you in this dream. just back from Annapolis boat show...Definitely could use more detailed vlogs cheers

Wow, thanks for this video!!!

Really enjoyed the video. Gary spoke to boats that "age well" and I wonder if you ever discussed that issue in any of your pod casts. Thanks.

Very helpful, thanks.

EXCELLENT INFO. The more you know before you buy makes all the difference in the world.

GREAT VIDEO!!!

Some great info here. Great tip for cheap docking.

I take care here in Portugal, to make the registrations in Holand or Belgiun,and you after make the registration, in one place or another,you only have to pay small tax every three or five yaers,and is no more than 200€. Many people is doing that change,and you only need to have enshurance here in Portugal,nothing else...

Great information.

Great video thank you

ty you both for the information

I just love the shirt.

Excellent Video

Great video!

Dude thank you so much ! big help !!! in short call Gary and pay him to handle it ;) got it

interesting, Thank You .a lot of things to think about , be prepaired to have a binder FULL of documentation depending on what and where

Great video this is very important stuff. I am a Canadian, I read from someone that stated that If I purchase a boat outside of Canada, I should register it as a Canadian vessel, and that I would not have to pay the Canadian VAT tax until I brought the vessel into Canadian waters. As your broker stated that he has a way to avoid VAT taxes from other countries. I have also read about buying a vessel in Florida and to avoid the Florida state tax you take the vessel 3 or 6 miles off shore with a newspaper of that day, take a photo of the paper with the gps coordinates tp prove you were outside the state.. any more info on this would be great.

what about the cost of repairs like how often you have to replace sales, and how much sails cost. Lines, masts, Do you have to scrub the hull from build up after a certain amount of time? Just very curious on general maintenance and upkeep. Thanks! Great video by the way

This is a master class.

gary speaks with experience. this is one of the good ones. but it's a challenge to cover so many areas, and also to diverse audience with a whole spectrum of needs

Wow, the state of Delaware is also where most new startup companies incorporate their businesses regardless of where they are based. Fascinating!

Good info.

3 years out... very excellent info! ty

Hi Ryan, Just watched your video with Gary Fretz. Very helpful and insightful information! We are looking to buy a Dufour 46 GL coming out of charter. Can you do a segment on the risks/opportunities of buying one of these former charter boats? Thanks!

Thank you Ryan and Gary for more excellent information. I thought I had post sale costs under control but it appears I missed some rather important ones. There may be government laws trying to tax fun loving people out of existence.

We like this kind of information 👍

awesome...loved it...get gary to tell stories of buys/sells, smart choices made, dumb choices made...real life examples. this guy is great...cut him loose..

great info

Gary is awesome!

Great video

Great video Ryan. I learned a lot. I'm certainly going to want to buy our Cat with the least amount of taxes and unneeded expenses. Gary seems like a good resource to have and use.

Gary is amazing

DAMN GOOD Video! So much good info.

Ryan, this was an excellent, informative video once again! Such great information that you wouldn't know otherwise. I really love your videos for that reason so thanks a bunch. The interview style is fantastic, it definitely gives a more realistic perspective to those of us who are planning our escape to the sea and new to how this lifestyle really works. Love it. Peace & fair winds

Since buying yacht is a global transaction a lot of times, cost of delivering yacht, taxes, insurance, adapting European specs to north american, power conversion of 220V to 110V, EPA requirement, warranty coverage and whether it is transferable once imported. These are good points for you to touch upon

Lots of fine print, holy smokes.

Wow. So much for the freedom of living on your boat

awesome....great content.....great subject matter discussion.....next time please discuss vessel safety .....including personal protection...fire protection ...theft prevention....first aid...and also food safety.......you are doing a great job Ryan......well done.....peace be still ..now for then.
