Besides the cost of renting the boat, one of the main aspects that has to be taken in consideration when planning a budget for the rental of a motor boat, is its consumption, and therefore the expenses on fuel.
It’s very important to have this in mind, because most of the time fuel is paid separately from the booked price. And you normally have to leave the fuel deposit the same way as you found it (just like when you rent a car, if the tank was full, you have to bing back a full tank).
So let’s have a look and check the average consumption per working hour of the motors according to its power and regime laps to which you take it.
Average consumption of an outboard motor according to the speed revolutions:
|
Revolutions |
||||
| 2,000 | 3,000 | 4,000 | 5,000 | |
| 25 hp | 1L | 2L | 4L | 6L |
| 90 hp | 5L | 10L | 15L | 20L |
| 250 hp | 12L | 20L | 40L |
60L |
Average consumption in diesel motors according to their revolutions:
| Revolutions | |||
| 1,000 | 2,000 | 3,000 | |
| 30 hp | 0.7L | 2L | 6L |
| 75 hp | 1.1L | 5L | 18L |
| 200 hp | 2.5L | 13L | 34L |
Of course, every brand and model will have different consumption, but in Nautal we try to be as clear as possible so when you rent a motor boat, a power catamaran or a yacht, we will give the closest estimation of fuel consumption for the rented boat, so that you have a pleasant journey, and you don’t have any unpleasant surprises in the end.
