Hi for Viking 11 it is normally $3500 AU$ a day.  Here is Bill's web site www.australianmarlin.com
I would say most boats range from $2500AU$ - $3500AU$ a day.
 
This is on my bucket list for sure if I don't do it this year I will be doing it in the next 5 years long term goal.

I suppose it is a matter of finding the balance between both.

If I had it my way it would be 10% work 90% for the bettter things in life.

Think that would be a bit crowded for me. I'd want it for myself.
