Here's a cruiser's blog with a series of posts following the transport of their Amel Super Maramu that I found interesteing. This is not the complete series of posts nor is it completely chronological.

I also found their log of cruising costs interesting:

Yeah, and I hauled mine myself, after getting a number of quotes that exceeded the value of the boat, for about $100 in fuel and $200 in materials. (OK, I already had a lot of equipment from farm ops. Not everybody has that. But you could buy it for the price that trucking companies quote, and have cash to spare.)

The cruising budgets are always interesting.

Those folks that merhhcat cited claimed $215K for two people for four years, or roughly $26K/person/year. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Christian Lloyd claimed <$15K for four and a half years, including the purchase price of his boat, or about $3K/person/year. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (I suspect that he left out airfare and maybe a few other things, but hey, he included the boat.)

YMMV.

Yes, it is true that it looks like the owners of the SV BeBe have no need to pinch pennies, beginning with their choice of boat...
