I totally agree that if you invite someone then the associated cost of the trip are on you. I usually tell folks to bring some food, snacks and drinks. I am not shy about that. If it is a friend who also has a boat and we opt to take ours (usually happens) I fill up before our trip and then again upon our return and split the associated costs and assume the wear and tear on my end.
My brother ask if his wife (sister-n-law) and her family (it was a family reunion) could come on my boat and take a cruise up to Mount Vernon and back (25 mile run one way). I said sure, though the associated costs of fuel based on speed, distance and weight (there was 16 on board) would be x. He happily agreed. And I happily took the cash. Matter of fact he left a few beers for me to have to calm my nerves once we came back to the dock.
