Charter Prices

2008 Diving Charter Rates
*prices do NOT include variable Fuel Surcharge. Please see note below
(6 passengers max)

Our Crew works extremely hard for you and are very qualified. They work for tips and the customary rate is 15-20%

* Please Note:
Due to the uncertain future of the oil industry, no one knows what the next few months will bring.
Diesel fuel is a large portion of the cost of operating a dive charter boat in Morehead City, NC.
This is a small & simple operation: one 6-passenger boat.
We enjoy what we do and and would like to continue doing it for many years to come.
As such, we are totally unable to absorb significant increases in fuel costs.
We simply must reserve the option of incorporating any significant rise in fuel price into the charter prices.

In exchange for your empathy towards our fuel dilemma, we will, as always,
do our absolute best to provide you with a safe, comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable diving/fishing experience.

2008 Fuel Surcharge information

on 06/27/2008
As in previous years, the boat pays for the "first dollar" of each gallon of fuel each day.
Above that, its the fuel price, multiplied by gallons used each day, which determines the fuel surcharge.
We will keep this information up to date so that it will be easier to plan for your upcoming charter.
(And remember, the Atlantis IV offers the comfort of a "Cadillac" in an ocean of school buses!)
