1 Voyage time
Distance ÷ speed = hours underway. Those hours are used in the fuel calculation (hours × GPH × engines).
Start typing — suggestions appear as you type
Calculated from departure → destination (not editable). Includes routing pad when both places are chosen.
Be realistic. It does not matter who is driving — the boat only goes at the speed it can make. Padding the number here will not save money; it is more likely to give you an unwelcome shock when the real passage takes longer and burns more fuel.
Winter daylight runs. Overnight bills as 2 days and often needs a second deckhand.
Weather or mechanical — added to calendar days
2 Fuel cost
Voyage time (tier 1) must be calculated first. Hours below come from distance ÷ speed. Fuel = hours × GPH × engines × $/gal.
Filled automatically from tier 1 — distance ÷ average speed. Change departure, destination, or speed above to update this.
Gallons per hour at cruise — one engine
2 engines burn about 2× fuel
3 Provisions, travel & crew
Estimator values — not edited on this page.
Food & water for captain + deckhand.
Days update when voyage time is calculated (example: 13 days on the boat + 3 travel days).
1 captain + 1 deckhand at standard rates. Overnight may add a deckhand.
Set by the estimator from base operations in Florida base. Not selectable here — figures update when departure and destination are set in tier 1.
4 Marina fees (owner)
Voyage time (tier 1) must be completed first. Marinas usually charge by the foot per night. Example: $3.50 / ft × a 50 ft boat = $175 / night, plus electric. Marina nights ≈ calendar voyage days − 1 (last night is typically arrival, not another overnight stay). Paid by the owner (credit card on board) — not part of the delivery quote.
Auto: calendar days − 1 (minimum 0)
Required for dockage estimate
Typical transient rates often $2.50–$5.00 / ft
Shore power, pump-out share, etc.
Running estimate
We do not control fuel cost — the vessel burns the same fuel no matter who is operating it. Fuel and marina fees are owner expenses; a credit card is needed on board to cover them. They are not included in a delivery quote.
Again: not a contract or estimate. Beta software — figures may be wrong. Actual deliveries vary with weather, routing, vessel condition, crew, and dock fuel prices. Formal estimates start with the contact form.
