Re: The charter/party industry...
sportfishingusa you also have to take into account the regulations. I for one am not a charter boat person as i would rather double the amounts of trips in a year.
I live in North NJ and gas and food and tolls add up. So a charter boat fluking that only runs maybe 10 miles North of their inlet is charging a premium price of $125 not including tip.
Then take into account Gulp, jigs, hooks and tip and now you are talking a $220 day.
Are the Captains taking that into consideration on pricing? No they aren't they are worried about their bottom line.
What I want to know is how many Captains say you were out with me 4 weeks in a row this one is on me?
The industry from what I read on here from the damage of Sandy was to support their local business, but does the local business look out for their customers.
At the end of the month are they paying my bills? Can i count on them to support me if i walk in or board their boat and forget my money, and they say no worries it's free?
If yes then i will support them but thats not happening...
