A note about private charter discounts...
Some
of the barges have a fixed amount off of their full-barge rate.
Quite often this special rate will be less expensive than their normal 6
or 8-person rate, for a 10-pax barge for example.
Please note that you can be a smaller group than the maximum number of passengers that the barge can accommodate.
Let's take Anjodi, for example. Anjodi's 8-person, value season rate is normally $34,000. Take off $6000 and their special rate for these 3 weeks in April is now $28,000. Their normal 6-person rate is $31,600 and now it has dropped to $28,000. You are still saving a chunk of money ($3600, more than 10%) even though you are a group of 6 rather than 8.
