Title: cost of hire - private 'water taxi' for the day
Post by: KevinH on June 17, 2006, 20:07:49 PM: Hi,
returning to Calis next week and bringing my youngest lad and his fiancee and would like to treat them to the fun of hiring a 'Taxi boat' for the day - fishing snorkling etc.
We had fun with friends doing this last year but booked it though Kaan (Kaan Hotel)

Does anyone have any idea how I do it myself and an idea of the costs this year?

TIA

Kevin

I don't know if they want a minimum number of passengers though.

were on about doing the same this year.
Just wander down and ask around then negociate your price.As fran says the prices are about £100,they normally want about 6 - 12 people which does not over crowd and is comfortable for yourselves

Interestingly enough we went diving with Dolphin Diving for around the same cost - and we had the boat to ourselves as no one else has booked that day.

We went with Jerry at the boat co-op,price includes 3 crew and a meal on board.Beer is 3 ytl for a 33cl bottle.
Only problem we had was the thunderstorm and had to come back early.
A great day out though.

Rob,
if it's any consolation, I was diving with my lad during that storm. An interesting experience I must admit. :D
Worse for the girls left on board I suspect though.
