Offshore Rates (7.7m boat)

 

A sole charter on the offshore boat “Capricorn” is based on the boat being full with 4 customers.  1-3 people if you want sole charter have to pay the price of 4.  I’ll book 2-3 people in at the per person price if you want to share with others. Max of 5 customers. 4-5 people is the per person price.  No price advantage for extra people.  Keep it at 4 for less tangles, less chance of people getting sea sick and more room.
