Hi for Viking 11 it is normally $3500 AU$ a day. Here is Bill's web site http://smgemailer.com/lt.php?c=832&m=467&nl=14&s=59372d94447ec693362816096f27a40c&lid=6313&l=-http--www.australianmarlin.com" rel="nofollow - 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.  -------------
