How much does it cost to maintain a ship per year?

The cost of maintaining a boat varies considerably depending on a number of factors, such as the size and type of boat, its age, the location of the boat, the services and maintenance required, among many others.

Some of the common costs associated with owning and maintaining a vessel are as follows:

Fuel: depends on the nautical category to which it belongs, i.e. it depends on the length, condition, structure, the wind it is able to withstand and the swell, the fuel will vary.
Maintenance and repairs: Boats require regular maintenance, such as cleaning, antifouling (protective paint for the hull), revision of engines and systems, among others. You should also take into account possible repairs and part replacements.
Mooring: another of the factors to take into account for the maintenance of the boat is the mooring, it is important to keep in mind in which port the boat will be moored as it is an important expense for the maintenance of a boat.
Insurance: It is important to insure the boat to protect it against damage, theft or legal liabilities. The cost of insurance depends on the value of the boat, its use and the desired coverage.
Licences and registrations: Some countries require licences or registrations to operate a boat. These may have an annual cost.
Winter storage: If you do not use your boat during the winter months, you may need to store it on land or under cover, which may cost extra.

These are just a few examples of the most common expenses associated with boat maintenance. It is important to note that costs can vary significantly depending on geographic location and individual circumstances.
