On a 43 power cat from Moorings, cruising at about 11 knots, we typically use about $650 for a 13 day charter. This includes running the generator at night. Moorings typically has clean hulls, which was not the case with another power cat company some years back. This, along with not being in a hurry obviously saves money.

Impressive...the "not being in a hurry" part does save a lot of money. Moorings as well. Although I meander up here on my boat or on a sail down there I tend to get where I am going in short order and sit.

Just back from 12 days with Voyage, on a 48. Mostly under sail, but some motor sailing. Gen use every night for AC. Final Diesel and Dinghy combined was $275. Which boat were you on? We have Let It Go. Which cabin was closest to the genset? And was it particularly loud there? We had a 440 six years ago and the starboard bow was closest and they couldn't get AC in there. I'd love to know your impressions of the boat. Ice and water maker function well? Any issues?

OldRed- We were on Endless Summer. New Boat.. Post-Irma 48. I am a HUGE fan of Voyage boats in general. Think the 48s are a big improvement on what the 44 was. Genset back by Aft Starboard cabin, which was our cabin. A bit loud, but not bad. Personally, I have always found the hum of an engine/genny to be oddly soothing as long as its consistent, so no problems there. My wife is much more sensitive to the noise and also had no complaint. AC was great throughout, if not a bit cool in saloon, but consistent through 4 sleeping cabins. Water maker was terrific. Icemaker was mostly ok. A few issues that were probably user issues. In general, the boat performed and sailed great. Love Voyage!
