The ferry price increases the closer you get to departure date. Matt mentioned the cheapest he's ever managed was £70 return iirc. Dan irksy paid around £150 at the ferry terminal as it was a last minute decision to come with us. I paid £89 for the exact same sailings as Luckypants.

Take a pack lunch in the ferry! Sandwiches are £3.50, crisps £1.50, cookie £2.10 and water £1.70!

So yeah, fuel & the ferry are the main costs, beer & food is similarly priced to the rest of the UK..
