It seems to me, this would be a fairly negotiable figure. When people are standing in line to crew on a
boat voyage through the
Bahamas, then they might be expected to pay for every last item of operation costs including
dock fees, entry fees and even pro-rated
insurance. However, when a
skipper is the one in need because of a tight schedule, an undesirable
passage or special skill requirements, he/she might have to come up with the total food costs and maybe a little cash for that certain crew
member. Another words, whatever the market will bare.
