Island Opportunity Charters Pricing Guidelines:

  • Pricing per person: The cost is charged for each individual traveler.

  • Minimum of 3 persons: If fewer than 3 people are booking, the full rate for 3 people will be charged, or we may need to combine your trip with other passengers to meet the minimum requirement.

  • Unlisted destinations: If your desired destination isn't listed in their standard options, you can still inquire. We can accommodate trips to any island, or even provide inter-island shuttles, just reach out to discuss the details.

  • Sharing trips: If your trip is combined with others to meet the 3-person minimum, the costs may be shared between all passengers, meaning the price per person could be lower if more people are on the same trip.

  • Credit Card Fees: We charge a 3% fee on all card transactions.
