The short and long answer.
Sophie C is a "for profit" vessel, same as the MS Mount Washington. Both charge passengers to board and ride.
The difference is that Sophie C also contracts with the USPS (They get paid to deliver mail). So their model is a 2 hour cruise that customers pay for ($28 PP), plus they get federal monies for delivering mail to a few people along the way.
