2010 North Carolina Expedition


July 10 - 17, 2010

NORTH CAROLINA 2010 IS COMING ! !


2010 estimates are based on 2009 rates - final rates wil be available in January 2010.

We have chartered (closed charter) the Seaquest II for the period July 11 - 16, 2010 (Sunday - Friday), to do two different offshore wrecks (including special wrecks) each day for six days. The boat charter fee (2009 rate) for a closed boat (12 people) for two different offshore wrecks each day is 12 x $140 (no fuel surcharge) = $1,680 x 6 days = $10,080. One days charter fee - $1680 - is due as a deposit by 12/31/09 days to hold the reservation.

We have a reservation for Island Birds for the period July 10 - 17, 2010 (Saturday - Saturday). We have a $500 deposit (from our 2009 security deposits) toward 2010. Rates for 2009 are $3,400.00 + 12% state and local tax of $408.00 + trip insurance of $247.52 + a security deposit of $500 for a total of $4,555.52 - our 2009 security deposit of $500 = $4,055.52.
