Dive Charter Rates

***If the Fuel prices are lower the  Per Day - Food, Fuel, Consumables Rate will be lower and  the charter per day consumables rate less accordingly.  This is affected by the price at  the port in which we purchase the fuel.  Georgetown has the highest priced fuel and fresh food supplies, Nassau medium priced and USA lowest price.

 

—–-Our Charter rates are based on days of diving–––

 

Example: Saturday arrival with the following Saturday disembarkation is 6 days of diving, referred to as a “week” or “8 day” Dive Trip” by some Dive charter live-aboards and retail advertising -  compare the actual days of diving for a correct rate comparison.

 

Our Dive trips can be scheduled to begin and end on any day of the week to conform with your desired dates.  We do not charge for the day of arrival or the day of disembarkation.  Calculate price only on full days of diving.  

The Charter Rate posted is for a full group "Charter" (Four double cabins). Additional discounts may be available at certain months during the year or from certain ports of departure. Contact our office for details. Individuals wishing to join a scheduled dive trip are encouraged to contact our office for a referral to the appropriate group. Pricing for individual participation in a group charter is determined by the group organizer, dive shop or club.

***Note that the Consumables Day Rate

will be lower if the Fuel + Food Price is Lower ***

A “Bahamas Charter Tax” of 4% will be collected and remitted to The Bahamas on group charters.  The 4% “Charter Tax” is only calculated on the “Charter Rate” portion of the Fee, not on the Consumables.  

 

These rates include all meals, diving facilities, fuel, docking charges and all other items for a trip except: air fare to the Bahamas, taxi to/from the airport/marina, gratuity, diving/chamber insurance (we highly recommend DAN), trip insurance, equipment rentals, certification or specialty courses, hotel stays/day rooms, and the meal on the first night.

Drop off your gear during the day. Boarding intro lecture at 8 PM; disembark in the morning at end of trip.

Individuals wishing to join one of the scheduled trips should contact our office by e-mail or phone for a referral to the group that has chartered the "Sea Dragon". Individuals contact the group organizer directly for availability and cost per person.  Often club dive trips and private charters have a lower than “retail” per person rate: individual per person rates are set by the charter group organizers.

 

Gratuities: A Crew Gratuity is voluntary and should reflect your satisfaction with the trip. A 10% - 15% gratuity is regarded as very generous.  Your crew receives a minimal subsistence salary and works hard to earn your appreciation.
