Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charter costs.

The general luxury super yacht charter fee rents you the boat and the services of the boat crew, for your stated luxury charter period, e.g. the base vessel charter fee per week. Unless stated otherwise, food, drink, and fuel will be extra “expenses”. There will normally be mooring fees and possibly fees for scuba, water toys and certain communications.

Luxury Mega Super Yacht Charters and APA

To facilitate the management of these expenses, and build trust, the industry has developed the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) system. The Charter Operator/Central Agent estimates the expenses that will be incurred, depending on your luxury itinerary (usually 20% to 30% of the charter fee) and adds that on up front. This provides a bank account for the Skipper, who makes expenditures on your behalf and keeps accurate records. Please note that these expenses are not marked up. At the end of the luxury mega super yacht charter, you will be refunded the difference, or the boat Captain will ask you to pay more during the charter cruise if further running costs are incurred.

Normally, you will be asked to pay 1/2 of the luxury mega super yacht charter fee upon signing the yacht charter contract, and the remaining 1/2 approximately 30 days before the charter commences.

Common practice on luxury Super Yacht charters is normally between 5% – 20% of the total charter price, on a sliding scale depending on how satisfied you are with the boat crew’s performance (regional differences exist – yachts working with Americans tend to expect higher tips than yachts working with Europeans or those from other parts of the world.)
