“These guys basically don’t get started until June. So I get to start a little earlier cause I’m a smaller operation. We fish a little bit closer and they fish a little further,” said Thinnes.“Literally we just started catching tuna two days ago. Getting our first boats off the dock. So fuel prices right now, they seem to be pretty stable,” said Schmidt.
That’s for now. The landings or boat tour booking agencies estimate the season ahead and quote their prices accordingly. A few dollars more per gallon can add up. “Now I’m adding three, four, five hundred dollars of a fuel surcharge. They weren’t planning on that when they booked the trip three months ago,” said Schmidt.
Schmidt said they'll take the brunt of the cost for as long as they can. There are a lot of people on the payroll though, from the captain, to the staff at the landing, to the crew. “If it’s $6 dollars a gallon, there goes the profit or any way to make a living for these guys. These guys do run on thin margins unfortunately,” said Schmidt.“With everything in the world going on we don’t know what’s gonna happen with fuel prices,” said Schmidt. “It’s about being fair to the business and the customer.”
