Budget estimate

$50,000 – $200,000

Based on typical municipal contracts for scheduled harbor tour services, the city is likely to award a contract worth between $50,000 and $200,000 annually. The lower end reflects a modest seasonal operation with a few weekly trips, while the higher end assumes a more extensive schedule, larger vessels, and comprehensive marketing and staffing services. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of cruise slots, vessel capacity, length of the contract term, and any ancillary services (ticketing platforms, promotional activities, etc.).
