Boss uses the boat as a Condo during 5-6 months over summer (could go into spring or fall) the other 6-7 months we do maintenance. When boss is aboard all crew (likely have a rotating watchkeeper) live ashore and come in from about 9am-3pm M-F with one exterior (possibly interior as well) coming in Sat and Sun for an hour or two to clean the mess and to check on things.
During winter non boss times its generally M-F 8am-4pm. Crew have been know to live aboard during this time.
A few modifications to the program could take place.
This is not a Service program. Boss is very down to earth person and mostly takes care of himself. He just wants a big boat that works and looks great. We have a large tender that we take him around with and very occasionally move the big boat around the general area. (Once a year to Catalina, etc.)
We offer a personal life.
