The Dive on the other hand, is in business to sell liqour and food. While yes it can do some charter work, but given its size and design it is extremely limited in that ability.

Business models are business models.... trying to compare the Mt. Washington to the The Dive, is like comparing apples to bananas...
I think their business models are similar in that they both depend on getting paid premium pricing to take patrons out on the lake. Both have high overhead given the cost of building the Dive and maintaining the Mount. I cannot see people paying premium pricing for alcohol and food just to sit at the pier in either case
