Charter cost calculator
Add the charter fee, fuel, anything else you were quoted, an optional tip and optional tax, then split the total. You enter every figure; this page does not suggest a price.
How the split is worked out
The total is the fee, plus fuel, plus extras, plus a tip on either the fee alone or on that whole subtotal (you choose), plus tax on the subtotal including the tip. Each person’s share is the total divided by the number of people. A $650 fee, $80 of fuel and a 15% tip on the fee is $97.50 of tip and $827.50 in total, which is $206.875 each for four people ($206.88 if you round each share to the nearest cent).
Custom about tipping varies by place and by how the trip was run. The percentage in the form is a number you can change, not a recommendation. Confirm with the operator what is already included, and whether fuel is a fixed surcharge or settled at the dock.
