Nine responses, and no one has come up with the answer............P R I C E L E S S !
Seriously, I have seen them go for $200-$300. I note http://www.wayzatasailing.org/silent-auction-contributors/ showed a 2-day weekend on Chewbacca for $200, which seems cheap.

I offered a charity cruise on Cyclone with
snacks and beverages a few years ago for my Church and the high bid went
for $100. The guests insisted to buy me lunch at
Sunsets. Emanuel

Last time I chartered a big charter boat on Mtka it
was $1,000 per hour, and that was back in the mid 90's. A half day pontoon rental is typically $80-$100 per
hour. A half day Ensign rental at Shorewood is about $225 for a half day,
but no skipper, lunch, or singing Craigge for any of that. FYI, my per race cost at WYC last year was $125 per
race (not per day), and when I race a huge schedule I got that number down to
around $80 per race. Seriously crew people, I'm not making this up. Love
your skippers! I saw a lunch cruise on Brigham's J22 go for about
$500 ( a small auction) this fall, and I've seen other silent auction bids for
WYC cruises for over $300 on many occasions. I'm 95% certain that a captains license is only
required if you are accepting the money as a captain for hire, not if the
payment is a donation to a third party. Charity boat rides are a great way to promote the
sport for a good cause, it's a VERY desirable item outside of our little
community of sailors. dj Dallas Johnson Marketing

Keep in mind that the Mtka charters are in large vessels that are
dishing out a ton of gas not mention catering service. Unless I am
mistaken we are talking about a Carpi here. Not to mention you are
dealing with parents who dish out quite a bit as it is during a
recession. I suggested to start the bidding low at $20.00 (or maybe even
$30.00) with the likelihood that it will reach $50.00 if not
more. You have to take into the "quality" of the ride ( no offense
Lynne) and your market/audience. Now of course if Lynne includes Craiggae singing then of course you
will have to start the bidding at $10.00. We still luv ya
buddy. CC

Whoa, Craggie,
Maybe $50 to $75 with you
singing. But otherwise it's easily in the $300-400
range.
Any boat charter on Mtka is going to be $100 per
hour, plus a skipper, plus
food to up the donation amount means
you can hit $500 in bidding pretty
easy. While it's no big
deal to us, it's a summer highlight for many
people.
Much
of it depends on the expectations of the silent auction and what's a
normal big donation for that event.
