Payments & pricing

What's included, how you pay, and what it costs.

What's included in the price?

Your SAMSA-licensed skipper and crew, fuel, all safety equipment and life jackets, and water aboard. Cold storage for anything you bring. On the fishing charters, rods and tackle are aboard and included.

The price you see is the price for the boat, not per person.

What's not included?

Food and drink beyond water, and anything you add on. A catering platter is quoted per head when you book, and a photographer or champagne aboard can be arranged on request.

On fishing charters you also need your own recreational fishing licence; the rods and tackle are ours and included.

Is the price per person or per boat?

Per boat. Ten people on El Grande pay the same as six people on El Grande.

That is worth knowing when you are comparing us to operators who quote per head: a low per-person figure can end up well above a whole-boat charter once your group is assembled.

How do I pay?

By EFT (bank transfer) for the moment — card payments are coming shortly. Book online and we email you the banking details along with a reference in the form ECM-YYYYMMDD-XXXX; your booking is confirmed as soon as the payment reflects.

Corporate bookings can be invoiced instead: say so when you book.

Are there hidden costs at the dock?

No. Everything is settled when you book, including add-ons. There is nothing to pay on the day and no fuel surcharge waiting at the end.
