Understand hourly and package rates
Some charters are quoted by the hour with a minimum duration, while others use fixed packages. Confirm the exact start and end time used to calculate the booking.
Ask what the rate includes
Fuel, dock fees, crew, food, drinks, water toys and taxes may be handled differently by each operator. Request an itemized quote.
Check deposits and balances
Confirm deposit amount, payment method, due date for the balance and the cancellation policy. Keep the written confirmation and receipt.
Compare value, not just price
A vessel with more shade, a better layout or useful inclusions may suit your group better than the lowest advertised rate.
