Additional Price Details
FULLY VACCINATED GUESTS ONLY PLEASE
GENERAL RATES NOTE: All rates are for one week / 7 nights. For short charters please use the 'divide-by-6 rule' for figuring short charter premiums:
Charters of 6 nights, use 6/7ths (six sevenths) of the weekly rate. For charters of 5 nights or fewer, the fee is calculated by dividing the weekly rate by 6, then multiplying that figure by the desired number of nights of charter.
