Our day rates are based on diesel at $2.10 a litre. Fuel is our biggest cost and the one we can’t control, and prices can move a long way between the day you book and the day we go. So we adjust for fuel in clear, fixed steps, and you can see exactly how it works.
How it works
For every 15c a litre that diesel rises above $2.10, a fuel surcharge of $50 is added to the day rate. That $50 is the extra direct fuel cost of a day on the water, passed on at cost. If diesel is $2.10 a litre or less, there is no surcharge.
| Diesel price per litre | Fuel surcharge added to the day rate |
|---|---|
| $2.10 or less | None |
| $2.25 | $50 |
| $2.40 | $100 |
| $2.55 | $150 |
| $2.70 | $200 |
Which price we use
We use the going price for diesel at the time of your charter. We’ll confirm the exact surcharge with you before the trip, so there are no surprises on the day.
Longer runs
Trips with a longer run, such as our island kingfish charters, use more fuel and are priced separately. Get in touch for a quote.
