RE: how much
I do several each year out of Ocean City, MD or down near Hatteras, NC. For private charters, 6 person max, whole day tuna, marlin, etc. usually run upwards of $1,500. After all's said and done (gas, hotel, food, beer, mate's tip), the 6 of us spend closeabout $400 each, sometimes more. One boat we take is now $1,900/day, OUCH!
