Surf Travel Blog www.surftherenow.com Notes "Royal Pelagic" for sale - are Mexico boat trips unviable?

My friend Evan started a new surf travel blog recently. He's got a lot of good news and info up there, with frequent updates.

I was just reading it and learned the Royal Pelagic is for sale. http://surftherenow.com/?p=49

This is the super-luxe fishing boat conversion that was recently doing charters to SE Mainland Mex around Huatulco and Salina Cruz. That area of Mexico benefits from frequent all-day offshore wind, numerous quality right points, and limited land access and facilities. I'm hoping that the charter operation was successful and the current owner is selling for other reasons, because I'd consider a boat trip to Mex if I don't have 2 weeks to do Indo properly.

[UPDATE 4/7] I emailed a reader who knows this owner of Royal Pelagic, she notes that they couldn't find people who wanted to pay this much to boat around Mexico. RP was maybe a little ahead of its time, but I think luxury surf travel has a strong future.
