How should I price my trips?
Price the trip properly and let commission do the visibility work. Undercutting the bay to appear cheap is the fastest way to a season of low-margin work.
Look at what comparable boats in this bay charge for a comparable day, and price where you genuinely sit. Guests here are not only shopping on price — the listings that convert are the ones that make the day feel worth the money.
Your price is the whole trip price. The guest pays your commission percentage as a deposit online and hands you the rest on the day, so do not try to adjust your price to account for commission twice.
