What boat were you in? We were there the past two nights. I should have mentioned the discount in my other post. It isa good deal for the amenities. We made great use of the pool.
We were on the Moorings cat, Teekla.

There's only one marina on Scrub - its the Scrub island resort. You just need to mention the TTOL discount.
Ben_gale - you were right next to us then, we were in B2 the night you were there and the night prior.

Oh well, just got home today after 9 days down there. I called Scrub the day we left for the islands and the best she would do me was $2 a foot plus tax. We skipped it again this year and stayed the night at Marina Cay. Maybe I give it a shot again next year.

I read this forum and bit and I'm always a little bit amused by how people make value judgements. Don't get me wrong - I do the same - so perhaps I'm just smiling at myself.
So Scrub has a "special" which is 1.50 vs. .. what 2.50/ft? So on the average sized boat that's maybe $50. Compared to the cost of the boat/travel/etc/etc. which is many thousands. And a drink at Willy T is now how much?
Seems like if you want to go to Scrub making that plan around the availability of a discount is a little illogical.
Does anyone else find this kind of amusing or am I just being weird?

No, you are quite correct. I had a conversation with a business owner in CGB 2 or 3 years back and they commented how "the people on the charter boats are getting cheaper and cheaper". I just chuckled.

What seems logical to me is letting people spend their money (or not) how they want. Perhaps keeping costs down during the actual charter lets them be able to charter to begin with. I'm sure there's plenty of other reasons as well. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

We would have stayed either way. $2 vs $1.50/ft was $20 for us. Based on what you get, it's really a good value either way if you'll make use of their amenities.

Im my observation there are people who's charter is basically glorified camping. They cook most meals on the boat and look not to spend money. I tend not to pinch my pennies when Im on vacation so I would say $1.50 versus $2.50 would not sway me away. I do usually avoid Peter Island though since I don't think I get enough value to justify the large expense there. To each his own! As long as everybody is in their happy place, wherever that is for them, its all good!

We stayed at Peter one night figuring it was worth it for the pool, but we stayed on a ball as I didn't feel it was worth paying more than double to be on the dock.
