Books by Fred Edwards

Making Money with Boats contains everything you need to know to transform water-related fun into the pure pleasure of profitability - from starting a business to accounting and budgeting, insurance, marketing tools, the business plan, and "computer leverage". It also covers federal and state requirements for licensing, documentation, vessel inspection, and bareboat chartering. It's a book for those who run existing charter operations - and for newcomers.

A former officer of Marines, who has logged much time aboard vessels ranging from aircraft carriers to destroyers to amphibious landing craft, presents a no-frills nautical dictionary written for the modern sailing lifestyle.
