What to charge???

[fishingwithblue]

In the spirit of preparation and talking about delivery I wanted to put together a prep list and have it critiqued in the event I get another opportunity to deliver.

Please add or subtract what you see fit, please give a reason/opinion why when you do.

Example:

Client calls from marina and needs delivery captain to skipper a 38' twin diesel cruiser from Savannah, GA to New York, NY. There will be two on board that want to only do 11 hours a day to destination. They are willing to negotiate pay.

1. Inspect vessel(engine to helm) and report, request insurance information and last survey or service report. Are they SeaTow members?

2. Plot course or plan route. Check mileage, weather, possible dockage to refuel and overnight.

3. Negotiate pay per day plus expenses and transportation home. Also, have a clause in contract about layovers for lost time due to repairs(need help on this one. Time is money). Also, fueling responsibilities and methods of payment.(Client got enough gas money?)

4. Get underway.......

5. ?????.....................................
