$400 fuel surge charge for 9 day trip

[steve k]

This turned into a waste of time. For me, anyway

 

[vipertom1970]

A nice cold beer, no phone calls and a first wahoo will make me forget about the fuel surge charge really fast

 

[phishy phil]

Just got back from a 7 day on the Vagabond - no surcharges, and we went fairly far down.

directly south, only fished local 1 day

Great. Can you name the Good Samaritan boat?

 

[jer dog]

jer dog, why don’t you just stick that trump plane up your ass, instead of posting it all over the place, you like it so much. You’re an idiot. It’s idiots like you that screw up threads, forums and our democracy.

Thanks for the laugh, lol 😂

 

[plj46]

[steve k]

Well, that escalated quickly! JTE, did somebody shit in your Cheerios?

Just got my trip email for my 10 day on the intrepid. 30 dollar a day fuel surcharge. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Guess my next customers bill will be 300.00 more then. Charge me more I just pass it on to the next customer. Good to self employed.

 

[mean gene]

Got the email...fuel surcharge for our 7 day leaving next Saturday is $165.

I'm on the boat five trips a year - I'm biased. The boat is always immaculate (think yacht), Mike always finds fish, the crew is fantastic, and the cooks are great. It's not the biggest boat, but they almost come back with fish - and the crew is helpful, not harrassing. You will have a great time. I have never heard a complaint.

So the surcharge adds up to $7200 in extra fuel $.

How big are the tanks?
$7200 will get you well over 1000 gallons.

Was it originally planned as a sailing excursion?

Almost coming back with a fish isnt a good plan.

They figured out a way to pay for the fuel, great business plan. Sounds like the airlines.

I'm no stranger to the Vag and agree with everything you say.

[james the worm guy]

[bbuck]

Sounds a little over the top. Was that the total for permits etc plus fuel or just fuel?

Yes, total charge.

 

[fyermn]

Surcharge $100 for SOA #31, 10 day leaving on the 10th

I will be with you on that trip. See you in 8 days.

 

[king halibut]

$144 for permit and visa and $400 for fuel surcharge for my 9 day leaving coming Monday.

FUC* that noise!

 

[Tsmithson]

Well it’s going to get better, Newsom,
Is suing the oil company.

He is currently working on shutting down 20% of the existing drilling in CA and wants to sue the oil industry? How about CA reduce the tax on gas and allow drilling to at least continue at existing levels.

But what you’re saying takes brains.

Those are the same genius peeps that want to make everything electric without any increase in generating capacity… ‘cuz power plants, dams, wind, nukes are evil.
