SPECIAL CHARTER RATES:
Coming up with charter rates is complicated. This month looks sunny, that weekend is a popular holiday, this boat has a dodger, that boat has 3 cabins, this one goes offshore, that one has a bbq…. you get the idea. To help demystify things, we’ve put together a list of the special deals you can always count on. Every boat in the fleet has these deals available, all year round. Below is an explanation of how you’ll save money compared to single-day bookings.
Half-Day Charter
We’ve all been there. Wake up and it’s a dreary, foggy, cold morning in the Bay Area. Then around 11 am you look out the window and the sun is shining and a breeze is building. You realize the afternoon is going to be spectacular.
We’ve got you covered.
Perfect for the last-minute outing, Half day charters start at 2 pm and go till 7 am the next day. Compared to a full-day charter, you’ll save $10 -$20 during the week and around 1/3 of the charter cost on the weekend. Talk about a great deal!
N.B. Half day charters on boats 31′ and above are booked same day only, with the exception of Wednesday bookings which may be booked on Tuesday after 8am. Call our bases for availability.
The Getaway
Most folks want to charter on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Econ 101 told you that when supply exceeds demand, the price comes down. Enter the Getaway charter.
Starting at 9 am Monday and keeping the boat till 7 am on Friday, you’ll save BIG $$ vs the cost of 4 weekdays. It’s an outstanding way to build a vacation on a budget!
Long Weekend
So, you’re ready for a long weekend, but full price isn’t how you roll? Makes sense to us!
Booking weekend plus two weekdays will save BIG $$ compared to a weekend and two weekdays.
$$Remember, multi-day charters are eligible for free early boarding.
Full Weekend
Are you working for the weekend? New in 2016, full weekend charters now start at 1600 on Friday! So if you can sneak out a little early, you’ll be cruising by quitting time.
The Full Weekend rate saves BIG $$ vs two weekend days, and you keep the boat from 1600 Friday through 0700 Monday. Talk about maximizing your time off!
Business Week
Let’s get down to business! New for 2017, the Business Week charter runs from Sunday evening at 1600 through the following Saturday at 0700. And to sweeten the deal, we charge you for 5, 1/2 day charters rather than 5 weekdays!
Full Week
If you can take the time for an extended cruise, the Full Week is a fantastic bargain. With 5 weekdays and a whole weekend, you’ll pick up the boat at 1600 the day before your booking and keep it till 0700 eight days later.
The Full Week saves you BIG $$ vs 5 weekdays and a weekend. That’s nice work if you can get it, and you can get it if you try!
Month
Last but not least is the SERIOUS excursion.
Take your time and explore the Delta’s more than 700 miles of navigable waterway. Maybe you’ll head down to San Diego, stopping at all the great spots along the way. Whatever you decide to do with your time, a month-long charter is a great way to prepare for the cruising lifestyle, and you’ll save BIG TIME while doing it.
Please note: Only one discount, special offer, credit, or coupon of any kind may be used per regular charter or private lesson.
