The charter/party industry...

The economy is not that great so that plays a role too. Another factor is maybe some of the boat owners have less expenses.. Or maybe they have the finances to just do it for fun and not need to money to live.. The price has to cover your expenses.. so if a boat can charge cheaper and still pay the bills and make a little money then more power to them.. Like if a boat can charge less but fill the boat and fish say everyday they will make money because the lower price will add up due to the amount of trips the boat makes..
