Data & sources

Our rules

• We never make up prices. Every price range links to a published source and shows when we checked it.
• Price ranges are short, attributed figures from operator and broker guides and published rate pages. They're context, not quotes, so always get a quote for your dates.
• We don't scrape booking sites whose terms forbid it. Live boat-and-date deals will only come from affiliate feeds, links or widgets we're approved to use. Until then, deal boxes are marked as placeholders.
• "This Week's Charter Deals" quotes operators' public offer pages, with a link to each page and the date we checked it.
