Yup. And there are still some people who are justifying, aka: trolling about, the cost of the boat. Unbelievable.

I've no idea of the price per litre in the Maldives ) . The WA are charging $370++ for a 30 minute trip probably with 10+ passengers . So One single trip should about cover a days cost . I'm not sure how many one way trips a day a boat would make but I'm thinking 8 wouldn't be stretching it ?
Well, they're advertising it as a 24hr service so it might be a bit more than you think.
