Traditionally Delta has the best prices at the CSY dock to the east of Port Percel. That is the best place for a final top off when returning to a Roadtown base.

If maintain a speed above 1.35*square root of the waterline length (1.5 for cats) your fuel burn goes up exponentialy. For the Leopard/Moorings 433 that is about 9.5 knots. At that speed it burns about 7 GPH. At 14 knots 15 GPH and at 20 knots 25 GPH. As a general rule, If the stern wave drops behind the transom you are paying a lot more.

Many years ago I chartered with a couple of companies that thankfully no longer exsist and learned to top off at my earliest oportunity just in case and present any receipt over a few gallons to the debriefer.

Just filled up our TMM chartered boat with 27 gallons at the neighboring Conch Charters foro $107.70.
About $3.90 per gallon. Did not know Conch had fuel.. Also did not know it was available to public.
